Blogs from TMurgent
Tim is a Microsoft MVP, and a Citrix CTP Fellow.
He is an expert in App-V and MSIX.
I have been asked something like a gazillion times over the years if TMurgent offered contract App-V Sequencing. Almost every time I say no. Sure, we do a little bit of it each year, but mostly to make sure that the training we give “is real” to what customers need.
