Abstract
Multiple technologies exist to help you to make your legacy applications work on Windows 7. But what about security? Can all of these be used in a secure way or do you have to make a trade-off? If so, what are the risks? In this presentation, we'll go through Application-compatibility best-practices and technologies such as Shimming, XP-mode, MED-V, IE-compatibility mode, EMET and others and look at their impact on the security of the platform.

Abstract
With the launch of Office 365, we introduce a new purchase model for Microsoft Office. As an IT Pro, it is important to know the implications of these newly introduced use rights. We go through some popular questions like: 'Do we count the number of devices (as with Office 2010 in Volume Licensing) or per user?' 'Are there still Software Assurance Benefits?' 'Is remote desktop still possible?'... Don't miss this session if your company plans or considers to migrate to Office365 !

Speaker Rebekka Van Acker

Abstract
With different options available for migrating to Office 365, choosing the right migration path might seem a daunting task. This session will cover the different paths, varying from a simple and quick migration from either an on-premise Exchange server or hosted mail service up to a long-term hybrid coexistence scenario with Exchange 2010 SP1 on-premise. We will talk about planning, preparation and execution: how best to do it, discuss the challenges and how to overcome them.
