Please read the following post from Jeff who needs our feedback to help with his upcoming series of blog posts:
Hey everyone, we are commencing a 5 part series on this blog about Client Deployment, and based on some recent trends, publications and evaluations we have determined there are 5 topics we will focus on. These will post in the below order. The topics are as follows:
Some other topics are absolutely meshed into this, for example training, virtualization, security, hardware refresh and the end user experience, so we will ensure we also touch on these for you.
I hope these sound interesting. I would love to hear from you and your experiences about these topics. Your stories could make these even more interesting for our community.
Do you have an experience, good or bad that was a learning in your deployment? Did something you or your organization figure out really help your Client Deployment? I would love to hear your stories. If you have something to contribute, or comment on, or want to share some advice, ping us a note, we want to roll these into our coverage.
We really look forward to hearing from you!
