Join our Virtual Community EUC Tech Talk Series after VMworld
Everyone reading this probably knows that VMworld 2020 will take place online next week.

We let anyone talk about whatever topic they want, we don’t...

So this blog post will be my quick and dirty guide to BYOD. The BYO Background “BYO” in...
What to Do If You Suddenly Have to Support 80% of Users Working Remotely
This blog was written in collaboration by Brian Madden and Shawn Bass, CTO of VMware End-User Computing.

Join Brian Madden for the 2nd Annual EUC Community Tech Talks & Beer Evening During VMworld Europe
Following last year’s successful EUC Community Tech Talks & Beer event at VMworld 2018 in Barcelona, I’m excited to announce that we’ll do another one this year.
