SEPA is quite a hot topic, and Microsoft hasn't been too communicative about it. But after quite some questions from the market (partners and customers), Microsoft has released a whitepaper about the current status, when certain funtionality is expected in the country-versions and so on.

New season has opened for the Belgian Dynamics Community, which means: new sessions, new dates, new initiatives .. but using the same concept: Connection days... . With the help of your feedback we decided to continue organizing the sessions according to last year's successful formula. That means that 4 new Connection Days are coming your way. However, the submitted feedback forms and the informal talks during the networking drinks also learned us a few things that helped us evolve the concept and the priorities.
