0After a lengthy social media outage, we’ve turned the microphone on our very own co-host Andrew Morgan for an interview!

Alike the episode’s before, today we’re doing a history on all Things Andrew, from Dell tech support, to Enterprise consultant and now staff Engineer @ VMware’s EUC CTO office. On this episode we get into how Andrew got started in IT, started writing software and how he ultimately ended up working for VMware EUC.

On this podcast, Andrew rambled and wandered between these topics, once again proving that he speaks too fast and that he makes a terrible guest rather than a mediocre host :)

  • How Andrew got started in EUC.
  • Chief Coding Monkey – How Andrew started writing software.
  • The gap between Automation and Development.
  • The joy and Woes of finding a new job and never burning bridges.
  • The beginnings of ThinKiosk and ThinScale.
  • Andrew’s favorite applications he ever wrote.
  • The back story of Caffeine of Receiver.
  • The best idea’s come from a need or, in Andrew’s case laziness.
  • Working with ControlUp.
  • Why Andrew joined VMware, Workspace One and VMware’s EUC potential.
  • The refreshing honesty of being the stupidest person in the room and forcing yourself to be better.
  • Andrew’s thoughts on VMware’s EUC vision and roadmap.
  • Integration of Everything.
  • New tools and fun stuff.
  • On failure and how to deal with it.
  • On Frontline Chatter and it’s future.
  • On Nutanix’s presence in the Hyper-converged magic quadrant.
  • Elon Musk and genius.
  • On the rabbits hole that is Home Automation and “death by one thousand paper-cuts”.

That’s it for now! catch you next time when we speak with our next guest.

This Month in EUC – Episode 3:

newLogo800And we’re back again!

The “quartet of nonsense and cynicism” is back (in the shape of Kees Baggerman, Thomas Brown, Jarian Gibson and the always out spoken Andrew Morgan) to discuss “Last Year in EUC”.

“last year in EUC you say?”. So yeah, very little happened in EUC in December, sure Citrix did it’s best to post 7.7 to keep investors happy and VMware quietly ignored the fact that Enzo was supposed to be ready, damn it man, I want JIT! Anywho, with most people entering a booze fuelled fog from the second week in December and only coming up for air in the January, you’ll excuse us for instead focusing on 2015 rather than the silly season!

In this special episode of This Month in EUC, we focused on the core announcements of 2015 and what to look forward to next year. In this podcast we discussed:

  • Key Themes of 2015
    • HyperConverged & ancle biters.
    • UEM.
    • Mobility.
    • Application layering.
  • Key news and what happened from:
    • Citrix
    • VMware
    • Microsoft
  • What to watch out for next year.
    • VMware as a whole.
    • Citrix Workspace Cloud.
    • UniDesk.
    • Microsoft.
    • ControlUp Insights

And thats it, we’ll be back very soon with Citrix Summit just around the corner I’m sure we’ll have an announcement or two to dissect.
