Attended the AUBG Microsoft Day

The AUBG Microsoft Day is an initiative by Microsoft Bulgaria, which is organized every year for the students of the American University in Bulgaria. This time, instead of the usual emphasis on purely Computer Science topics, two seminars were given particularly for Business Administration students. The seminars dealt primarily with the implementations of CRM and ERP software in the business process, and Microsoft Dynamics CRM and Dynamcs NAV were shown as examples. A Microsoft Bulgaria initiative was announced that would allow AUBG students (at least, those that are particularly interested in Business) to have an access to licensed versions of Dynamics NAV and CRM, and (probably) obtain a copy for academic purposes.

I expected to see some implementations of Microsoft's on-demand business tools, but alas, they are still sold exclusively in the States.

Luckily, I managed to win a Silverlight 2.0 book at the seminar. I stil haven't got a chance to take a look at it, though.
