Building on Microsoft’s announcement of Microsoft Endpoint Manager yesterday at Microsoft Ignite 2019, today VMware announced a new combined solution featuring VMware Workspace ONE, its digital workspace platform, and Microsoft Endpoint Manager to accelerate Windows 10 modern management.
According to Pat Gelsinger, CEO, VMware, this solution “brings together both solutions into a single offering that leverages the best of Workspace ONE across a range of devices without giving up any of the capabilities of an integrated Microsoft stack.”
