We have received an enormous number of updates and announcement in the last week’s Microsoft Ignite event. Some of the changes will be game-changer – how we implement solutions for our business and customers. In the meetup, we shared some major highlight from the Ignite news, focusing on M365 area.
During the session, we gave a demo on Project Cortex, UI Flows and Power Virtual Agent and it was a pleasant surprise that during my demo on Power Virtual Agent, we noticed Charles Sterling, from the Engineer team at Microsoft is sitting in the audience. He took all the tricky, roadmap questions from the audience. 🙂


The slide decks can be found below:
