I’m speaking at #ESPC19!

The countdown is on to the European SharePoint, Office 365 & Azure Conference – just 7 weeks to go! 

Join me on Tuesday 3^rd of December for my session “What is Common Data Model and How to use it?” 

The Microsoft Common Data model (CDM) is the Azure-based storage mechanism for the Microsoft business application platform. The most intuitive use case for the CDM is to provide an easy to use relational database for PowerApps. App Creators can use the CDM to model their data and easily share apps created on that data. CDM aims to provide much more than storage, it also provides definitions for common business entities as well as integration capabilities for importing data from multiple sources like SharePoint Online and On Premises. With data sourced across the enterprise, businesses can drive insights and actions using PowerApps, Power BI, and Microsoft Flow based solutions. 

Benefits of Attending this Session:  

• Common Data Service vs Common Data Model 
• What licences are required to start using CDM 
• Setup your own CDM database and start using it 

For those of you who haven’t been before, or are thinking of attending, ESPC is a really fun, welcoming event with a big focus on the topics and learning. It brings together an amazing group of speakers, sponsors and delegates, including Microsoft Leaders, Product Team members and leading community RDs, MVPs and MCMs, so we can all help each other achieve great things with SharePoint, Office 365 or Azure.
