Probably a Citrix employee. They bought AirWatch a couple of years ago.

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.
