When you need to show a feature or particular screen of Veeam product to potential new client and don't have the product installed on your laptop, and the VPN to your lab is not operational? What to do? I met someone during Veeam100 Summit in Berlin and that person has solved this problem! In fact, Stijn Marivoet's has a website where you can find Veeam Clickable Demos and those are really cool as you simply pick the product (or the product's function) you want to explore, then pick the function and by few clicks you see all the screens that are inside of the product's function. No lengthy videos, just essential.
The Context
If you work as a system engineer, you sometimes probably struggle to explain your client feature of a product he is not using yet. You need a visual. System Engineers frequently encounter significant obstacles when attempting to demonstrate complex software solutions. Traditional approaches often involve:
- Complex home lab setups
- Network connectivity challenges
- VPN and RDP restrictions
- Limited hands-on exploration opportunities
Stijn Marivoet's has actually solved this by providing a revolutionary (and simple) approach to software demonstration and technical education. Screenshot from Stijn's website below. Please click to enlarge.
