Infosys Microsoft Dynamics Team at Convergence 2011 - a Microsoft Dynamics event

I'll be at Georgia World Congress Center, Atlanta attending Convergence 2011, a premier Microsoft Dynamics event, scheduled from April 10-13, 2011. Convergence is a platform where one can experience first-hand, latest solution innovations, new products and technologies to optimize business and improve bottom line with Microsoft Dynamics. It provides the opportunity to network with peers and product experts from Microsoft.

Infosys is a Silver sponsor and you can meet me and my colleagues at booth # 607. Visit our booth # 607 to know how Infosys' Microsoft Dynamics  practice which provides end-to-end services across the Dynamics suite (AX, GP, NAV and CRM) can help you:

  • leverage our end-to-end global rollout capabilities 
  • reap the benefits of Dynamics with our end-to-end services across Dynamics 
  • think globally, act locally with our two-tier/ hub-and-spoke solution
  • make Dynamics, the perfect fit with our pre-configured micro-vertical solutions for specific industry needs
  • take your relationships forward with xRM

If you're attending Convergence 2011, we would be very glad to meet you! Don't forget to stop by our booth # 607 to understand our capabilities and success stories in Microsoft Dynamics. Also, we have a host of gifts lined up via our prize wheel and if you are the lucky one, you could WIN the xBOX 360 with KINECT raffle drawing, so that's an added incentive!!!

Also in context of our presence at the event, I have been doing some media  meetings with reporters  to evangelize our experiential thought leadership on the growing interest in hub-and-spoke/Tiered ERP approach, Cloud Computing, xRM journey etc. and will continue to lead multiple interactions with reporters and industry analysts at our booth.

I will soon share my impressions from the event based on any key announcements, general sessions and meetings with customers and Microsoft senior executives

MIX 2011

MIX 2011 will happen next week on April 12 to 14 in Las Vegas. If you look at the picture for the keynote speakers, we have Scott Guthrie, Dean Hachamovitch and Joe Belfiore. So it should be pretty obvious that the sessions will related around Silverlight 5, IE 9 and HTML 5 and Windows Phone 7.
If we look at the detailed agenda, there are sessions on Cloud, there are sessions around Media playback and management, there are sessions on Phone 7 development, there are sessions on MVVM, ASP.NET MVC, jQuery etc. We also do know that Silverlight 5 beta will be announced. There will mostly also be discussions on the recent Phone 7 updates (NoDo and Mango).

There are tons of sessions, but a few interesting sessions, based on my current interests, that I noticed are:

Session on Surface: Surface has been around for a while, but given the niche hardware and horizontal only design, it wasn't as popular as it had the potential to be. With the Surface 2 there is now support for vertical orientation, it runs on Windows 7 and has a new PixelSense technology for its touch support. My expectation is that with version 2, we should see better penetration.

Session on Mono: I do not recall seeing Mono being talked about much in public forums like this earlier. Given the late entry of Microsoft in the smartphone war, this is probably a way to get some leeway by having deployments possibly on competitor devices. Also read more on this tool from Novell here.

Session on Kinect: Kinect the new XBOX based gaming platform from Microsoft that has awed everyone. With its touchless console and fantastic gesture recognition system, it has become an instant hit. There is also an expectation that the SDK maybe made available during MIX. Watch out for this session also.

Silverlight 5

I had last touched upon Silverlight 5 post the Firestarter event. Since then during various events by Microsoft, HTML 5 has continued to be more prominent and there has been little discussion on Silverlight 5. Even the various web camps conducted across different cities in India focused more on HTML 5.

With Mix 2011 now just around the corner, there is confirmation that Silverlight 5 beta will be made available during the event, which is as per general expectations.
