It manages something like 70% of all corporate windows computers in the world. Why would Microsoft look at that cash cow and say "I'm sick of making money, let's let someone else do that!" SCCM is not going away. I'd be very interested to see if they could actually track down the Microsoft employee who said that. My guess is he was misheard and actually said something else. Either way, this decision is going to be a huge one for your department that will cost a LOT of money. No decision this big should be made based on something someone heard from a conference from that one guy who probably worked for Microsoft. Your supervisor shouldn't be allowed to go to conferences.

Okay, today my supervisor was making the case for the decision to phase out SCCM. His whole argument centers on a presentation he saw at AirWatch Connect a few months back. The presentation was done by a Microsoft employee and in it he stated that SCCM was a dead-end product and that people should move away from it (and towards AirWatch). He couldn’t tell me who this presenter was, but he insists that it was a Microsoft employee. That doesn’t jive with what I see and hear, so I’m looking for anyone who may have been to AirWatch Connect this past Fall and could shed some light onto the context. Because I am sure that the statement was taken way out of context.
