Azure Integration Congress 🇳🇱
Organizations using Microsoft Cloud are integrating their workloads with each other, broader enterprise applications, and common building blocks like core platform services, integration services, data solutions, and Power Platform. Successful organizations are using Power Platform to build high-value solutions that tie different solutions together, generating large datasets as “single sources of truth”. This session will explore real-world examples of how organizations have integrated their workloads into an ecosystem, best practices, and lessons learned, inspiring attendees to think like the world’s boldest solution and enterprise architects.

Keynote @ HSO Tech Day 🇳🇱
I have come to understand strategic thinking as more art than science. Strategy is surely informed in part by data, but I find that our society in general and the technology industry specifically too often confuse data and wisdom, that we foolishly (though understandably) seek heuristics or processes so that we can turn the art of strategic thinking into a game of color by numbers so simple that anyone can do it. When it comes to strategic thinking, better that we seek methods of framing our thoughts rather than shortcuts to the answers themselves. This session offers practical approaches to injecting strategy into your organization’s Microsoft Cloud journey, indeed, a selection of the same approaches I take with my clients. We explore a wide range of topics, including the impact of AI on the strategic landscape, how organizations have ever-decreasing time to absorb waves of innovation into their operating models, the transition from activity-based to system-based value, and how governance fits. We’ll then investigate a model for weaving strategic intent into the ongoing cloud journey, and explore industry-specific ecosystem maps that illustrate how other organizations have found success doing this.

D365 + Power Platform UG 🇬🇧
Workloads in the Microsoft Cloud are increasingly being built to (a) integrate with one another, (b) integrate with the broader enterprise application and data system, and (c) make use of common building blocks such as core platform services, Azure data, application, and integration services, and Power Platform. On the latter, the most successful organizations are now using Power Platform to build ambitious, high value solutions. In other words, solutions are being tied together rather than architected in isolation, and this is generating vast datasets built as "single sources of truth". This session will get you thinking like the world's boldest solution and enterprise architects as we explore real-world examples of how organizations have knitted their workloads together into an ecosystem, best practices for doing so, and lessons learned along the way.

Power Platform School 🇬🇧
Explore how to adopt the Power Platform at scale across a large organization, and discuss how administrators, architects, and program / project managers can govern, manage, and operate the Power Platform in service to their business-focused customers. The discussion will include an overview of the current state of the platform, and dive into several of the tools and techniques used to manage and govern to platform, including the Power Platform Adoption Framework and the Center of Excellence (CoE) model.
