Unleashing AI with the Power Platform: Transforming Business OperationsBlog | 25 November 2024Read moreUnleashing AI with the Power Platform: Transforming Business Operations
Autumn is a magical time for reflection, and as I strolled through the wet Brighton city streets, I thought about all the different businesses I have spoken to who are grappling with operational inefficiencies. Over a cup of coffee, I pondered how I’d recently got off a call with a guy who had just had the ominous “AI” badge stuck to their job description, “We need to use AI, now John.” He mentioned how introducing “AI” into business operations seemed daunting.

FabCon Europe – The Key AnnouncementsBlog | 2 October 2024Read moreFabCon Europe – The Key Announcements
The European Microsoft Fabric Conference was held in Stockholm between the 24th and 27th September and for some, it was the first opportunity to hear about the product and interact directly with the Fabric Product Team. Telefónica Tech was a Silver sponsor and it was a great opportunity to meet likeminded professionals, partners and current and potential future customers.

In this blog I’ll highlight what were my favourite announcements (and one or other disappointment), however, you can check out the full list here and here.
