THE EUC Party
Over 500 of our closest EUC friends joined ControlUp and partners for THE EUC Party of the week. We can’t think of a better way to celebrate our commitment to customers and technology with food, drinks, bowling lanes, and dancing! We want to thank our co-sponsors XenTegra, Microsoft, LG, IGEL, ServiceNow, 10ZiG, PrinterLogic, and Rimo3 for their support, and for being amazing party co-hosts! Stay tuned for how we top this party next year!
The Booth
As a Platinum sponsor at this year’s event, we had a HUGE 30×30 booth filled with our latest technology demonstrating our NEW DEX Management Platform, including Edge DX, Real-Time DX, Scoutbees, and Remote DX products.
Free Edge DX 50-User VIP Pack
At this year’s event, we announced the ControlUp 50-User VIP Pack, a free version of our Edge DX solution that allows management, troubleshooting, and remediation for fifty desktop devices within and outside your network. This offering provides three benefits for your organization:
- Remote Assistance: Remotely access a desktop running Windows, macOS, or Linux through console or remote access

- Issue Remediation: Automatically run scripts for detection, migration, and remediation with no IT interaction necessary

To say the least, VMware Explore 2023 was a hit! From engaging with our customers, friends and partners, to sharing the magic of ControlUp with new solutions, we wouldn’t change anything about our presence at VMware Explore this year. We’re excited for what’s to come and we can’t wait to share all the new company and product news that we have coming.
