Do you know that there are 59 ways to publish an application in your enterprise infrastructure?

I bet you don’t. Most people count only four: a MSI based installations or an application virtualization package, installed/streamed to a workstation or a Server Based Computing server.

I am very surprised how many people don’t know this fantastic small tool. It is standard Windows functionality since Windows 7 and if you need to report a bug or document installation or configuration steps, this tool is a ‘must-have’. I am talking about the (Problem) Steps Recorder, PSR.EXE

Last week I attended the annual RES Software Certified Trainers (RCT) meeting at RES Software in ‘s Hertogenbosch/Netherlands. All RES Software Certified Trainers meet and discuss topic like training materials, exams, what’s new in software products and other stuff. It is also a bit a social event, good to see the crew at RES Software again and meet other trainers.

Proudly I present to you the new MarcelVenema.com website, as a successor of my old W-TECH.NET site. The MarcelVenema.com website will act as my personal website, with hopefully lots of information, blogs and other useful stuff for my fellow friends and colleagues....
