User-Centric Application Delivery Rocks the World

Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2012 adds several new and exciting features which will radically change how software can be deployed to users in businesses of various sizes.

Johan Arwidmark and Kent Agerlund will be presenting a day-long PreConference seminar at TechEd (both in North America and Europe) which will take users through a very detailed examination of how to leverage the capabilities of Configuration Manager. I was able to meet up with them recently to discuss Configuration Manager and learn about why it is an important technology to help businesses manage software deployment on their network.
