Microsoft Strategic Architect Forum

Hi all,

Sorry for the long hiatus.  I am sitting in a large conference room at Microsoft HQ undergoing Architect Advisor training prior to our 2004 Strategic Architect Forum.  I am delighted to hear that Microsoft is starting a major focus on architecture in business verticals.  Architects coming to the SAF will hear about parts of this initiative.  Sessions like "Compliance and Governance in Service-Oriented Solutions" will appeal to the increasingly regulated healthcare industry, as well as the government sector.  Architects who work with the Retail vertical will be excited to hear our "RFID and the Real Time Supply Chain" session.  And there are more.  Take a look at http://www.dynamicevents.com/SAF2004/informationSessions.shtml.
