In this episode of the VMblog Expert Video Interview Series, we spoke with Simon Townsend, the Chief Marketing Officer at IGEL, where we talk about the hardware and global chip shortage that we're all experiencing right now, which is also heavily impacting the end user computing industry.

What should your company be doing right now given the current situation? Townsend explains. And with Windows 11 being recently announced, we discuss what impact that could have on the shortage as well. We're discussing all of this, as well as key take-aways from the recent G7 Summit.
