IGEL and Nerdio – Helping Organizations Worldwide Add Value to Their Existing Microsoft Investments
IGEL Now & Next 2025, the premier event for End-User Computing (EUC), endpoint security, and digital workspaces, is right around the corner!
Next week, The Fontainebleau in Miami Beach will be the place to be seen as IT professionals, industry experts, and EUC enthusiasts come together for this four-day event that will highlight innovative strategies, solutions, and insights from IGEL partners, including Nerdio.
We sat down with Dave Fiske, Lead EUC Strategist at Nerdio, to learn more about the company’s collaboration with IGEL and what attendees can expect to see and learn at IGEL Now & Next 2025.
Tell us about your company and how you partner with IGEL. How long have you been an IGEL Ready partner?
Dave Fiske: Nerdio empowers Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and enterprises to build successful cloud practices in Microsoft Azure with Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) and Windows 365. Nerdio Manager adds value on top of the powerful capabilities in AVD by delivering over 200 additional features to simplify management, ensure efficient operations through automation, and lower compute and storage costs on average between 50-75%. It is the only Azure management platform that allows admins to seamlessly provision and manage deployments of both AVD and Windows 365 interchangeably.
Nerdio has partnered with IGEL for over three years and is featured in the IGEL Ready Partner Showcase.
What are some key trends impacting your partners and customers in 2025, and how is your organization solving these?
Dave Fiske: EUC is growing at an incredible rate. Microsoft’s focus on Windows 365 is driving much excitement in the industry. Nerdio is here to help customers not only expedite their new endeavors but also help them optimize their compute resources and ongoing expenditures.
Why is your organization a sponsor of Now & Next 2025?
