Already the 3. year running, I am very happy and proud to speak at #ColorCloud in April 2026, this time talking about #MCP and how it works in #msdyn365bc. If you look for a really special and colorful conference, I can only ask you to take a very close look at this amazing event. See you there?

Time flies and it's already been a while, but I want to share the amazing experience of visiting #AWS in Seattle for the first time. From tech of course including AI through leadership and organizational insights to networking, I really learned a ton, enjoyed it a lot and hope to be back soon.

Since today re-verification of accounts verified on verifiedbsky.net is happening. Every week, each account is checked if the verification still is ok. If it fails twice, a notification DM is sent. If it fails 4 times, the label is removed and the account is removed from all lists.
