—No Live Show Today—

Thanks for stopping by.  Since Microsoft is having a conference this week and we’re all out of the office, we won’t have a regular show this fortnight.  We are still posting our notes about things that are new and even have a video embedded showcasing how to synchronize work order data if you’re using both Dynamics 365 CE and F&O and have field service workloads.  See you live again on Sept 28!
