Recent App-V Case Studies
Internally, I was recently asked if I had any examples of recent App-V Case Studies that other potential App-V customers could view. Many case studies have previously been mentioned on the legacy App-V team blog but those were for older versions of the product. Many of our customers are looking to find examples of App-V 5 and later deployments from various customers and that can be sometimes difficult navigating via the web. I maintain a list for myself and I thought I would share it out for other customers who may also appreciate these.

You may have noticed that many of the examples I cited were from the Education sector. That is not by accident as App-V continues to be a very popular fit in this space – particularly in environments where application asset and lifecycle management is crucial and often difficult.
