Dominic Pouzin recently launched his new startup: Data Applied. See here for some great coverage on Read Write Web. Dominic was one of the senior developers on MSCRM and one of the smartest engineers I’ve ever met.

There is definitely disruption beginning to occur in the ‘data space’. The next 2-3 years will be very interesting with respect to end user visualizations (eg. RIAs, Officer 2010, Google Docs etc) and back end sources (government data, Microsoft Codename Dallas, Amazon’s public data sets etc etc).

Hi there. Just a quick announcement.

December 11th 2009 will be my last day at Microsoft. After 5 1/2 years in the US it’s time for my family and I to move back to Sydney, Australia. I’ve accepted an exciting position (in the CRM space) in Sydney working for a global systems integrator.

Over the next few months I’ll be blogging about my re-integration into Australian society. I’m hoping that there will be enough amusing anecdotes and social observations to satisfy the reader.

With respect to CRM content I’ll have to have a discussion with my new employer…
