                        <br />Jason Hogg, Group Architect - Solution Engineering, Microsoft Corp<br /><br />In this presentation we will show how it is possible to navigate from a business capability map created through a process such as MSBA to a domain specific reference models and associated reference architecture - thus allowing us to move from business capabilities to solution architecture proposal. The presentation will focus on work that is being done inside the Services organization and will demonstrate application using the BI domain. The presentation will also include relevant terminology descriptions as well as discuss the role of industry standards such as IEEE 1471 in helping us normalize how we describe reference architectures.</div>

                        <br />Stuart Kent, Principal Architect, Visual Studio, Microsoft Corp<br /><br />Visual Studio 2010 introduces a new set of extensible visualization and modelling tools targeted at the software architect. The tools include a set of UML designers, a tool for graphically visualizing code and other development process artefacts, and a tool for validating desired dependencies and relationships between architectural layers. The tools can be tailored to support the specific software development approach within which they are deployed. For example, it’s possible to customize the way in which the tools interact with one another and the rest of the IDE, to create custom code generators, to write custom layer validation schemes, to create custom graphical visualizations, and even to create your own modelling languages and matching designers. This talk will give an overview of the tools and extensibility support, and demonstrate a subset.</div>

                        <strong>Data Security &amp; Compliance – it’s a process not a product</strong> TBC<br /><br />Security and Compliance are key words within IT for the right reason and these are resurging in the face of cloud computing and the concerns over hosting data off premise. But what about on-premise? It is well known that the major security threats come from people over technology but it is often the case that these parts are not given the time or effort to address as they should. With cloud, it's the first thing to ask - why isn't that the case internally?</div>

Microsoft has a range of technologies that includes Application Virtualisation (APP-V, MED-V, Remote Apps, Terminal Server), OS virtualisation (Remote Desktop, Terminal Services, and VDI), data virtualisation (folder redirection and synchronisation), hardware virtualisation (Hyper-V) and management capabilities (SCCM, SCVMM, and SCOM) that should allow us to provide a solution to fit all requirements. The basic premise is that a user should receive the right desktop and associated software according to whatever their particular needs are.</div>

                          <strong>Why go to the office? The practicalities of distributed working</strong>
                          <br />MSIT<br /><br />The world of IT has never been faster moving than it is today. IT needs to manage what it has but also be in a position to respond proactively to new opportunities. The cloud is on the lips of every CIO and the "I must have one" factor is starting to take hold. So what does cloud mean to IT? If we're expected to be hosting everything in the cloud someday then what does that mean in terms of operations management? If we have a virtualisation mess today then what will cloud do to solve or add to this dilemma? With cloud the meter is always ticking, resource means money! But how do we put this under some form of control in order that the benefits are seen and that the costs are managed? In this session we'll look at the dilemma for IT that cloud creates and the support within the Azure platform for operations management.</div>

                          <strong>Architecting Systems that Users Love to Use</strong>
                          <br />John Waterworth, Flow Interactive<br /><br />Enterprise Architects are designers of socio-technical systems. These systems are a complex and ever-changing mix of people (colleagues, customers, suppliers and partners) and technology (hardware, software, networks, devices) performing some activity (with goals, processes, rules and regulations). Descriptions of the Enterprise Architect role tend to focus on the technology and activity aspects of these systems—particularly on aligning information technology strategy and portfolio with business strategy and goals. The people aspect too, often comes in a poor third. Putting equal focus on people—on user experience—can improve business response times and reliability, and foster goodwill among colleagues, customers, suppliers and business partners.</div>

                          <strong>Relational Data and the Cloud</strong>
                          <br />Keith Burns, Architect, Microsoft Ltd<br /><br />With the advent of SQL Azure there are now multiple options for storing relational data. Do you store the data locally or in the cloud? What are the differences between SQL Server and SQL Azure that you need to be aware of? What if you want to synchronize data between them? In this session we will discuss all the deployment options and interoperability issues as well as discussing some other forthcoming SQL Azure technologies.</div>

                          <br />Russell Kirk, MVP<br /><br />Designing applications around the communications process, using unified communications to embed phone and video controls directly within the application. Intention is to make people think about how this changes the application design process and that this makes line-of-business applications interactive. Includes elements of web2.0 and social computing via SharePoint 2010, and partner products as examples, such as Dassault 3d CAD where designers IM with each other within the application.</div>

                          <strong>We live in a heterogeneous world, don't we?</strong>
                          <br />Simon Thurman, Architect, Microsoft Ltd<br /><br />There are many attributes, capabilities, and resource requirements to consider when choosing a platform to build your solution on. In addition to wider considerations such as interoperability, and standards. In this session we’ll discuss what these are and the value, benefits and considerations of choosing the platform fit for purpose.</div>

                          <br />Darren Jefford, Architect, Microsoft UK<br /><br />As an architect in Microsoft Services, we get to see some interesting projects, some that are extremely visible both within the organisation and externally. Logging experience from projects is a useful habit that over time can build into a useful knowledge base that provides useful guidance for future use. This session will look at a handful of experiences and how these combine to provide useful learnings for the future (and how not to do things next time around!).</div>

                          <strong>Managing Clouds</strong>
                          <br />Matt Deacon, Architect, James O'Neill, Infrastructure Specialist, Microsoft Ltd<br /><br />The world of IT has never been faster moving than it is today. IT needs to manage what it has but also be in a position to respond proactively to new opportunities. The cloud is on the lips of every CIO and the "I must have one" factor is starting to take hold. So what does cloud mean to IT? If we're expected to be hosting everything in the cloud someday then what does that mean in terms of operations management? If we have a virtualisation mess today then what will cloud do to solve or add to this dilemma? With cloud the meter is always ticking, resource means money!
