Bill Zack will be transitioning to a new role at Microsoft.  He has accepted a position as Architect Evangelist in the Developer and Platform Evangelism (DPE) group at Microsoft.  In his new role he will be doing a series of day-time Architecture briefings on enterprise topics in New York at Microsoft. On April 12th Bill will be doing one on Microsoft and SAP Interoperability as part of Microsoft's arcStream program. This is a series of live presentations combined with access to on-line experts from Microsoft. 

If you are currently using SAP and Microsoft technology in your company but have not integrated them you should find attending this meeting very informative.  If you use SAP where you work or are just interested in finding out about this subject feel free to attend. The presentation will be held at Microsoft’s New York City offices. You are invited to join.

arcStream provides a constant flow of technical information as well as networking opportunities for enterprise, application, systems and aspiring architects living and working on the east coast.

In addition Goksin Bakir will be starting as a DE in the Middle East and Africa region. While I hate Goksin for leaving me as the last of the club to be independent from Microsoft (first Malek, then Clemens!), it is a GREAT move for him and even better for the region. I can't wait to speak at even more Middle East and Africa events!
