AN ARCHITECT IN GLOBALIZATION TEAM. 
SO BASICALLY, JUST A QUICK REFRESHER, 
RIGHT? WE WERE JOINED FOR SEVERAL 
YEARS STARTING FROM FINANCE AND 
OPERATIONS, RIGHT? AND BASICALLY 
IN THE FORM OF WHAT WE CALL GR, 
AND GT, AND GLOBAL TAX ENGINE. I 
WILL BE TALKING MOSTLY ABOUT G R 
AND THIS CONFIGURED BUSINESS DOCUMENT, 
BASED ON THE GR FRAMEWORK. SO GR 
IS ACTUALLY THIS CONFIGURATION APPROACH 
WHICH IS BASED ON THIS PRINCIPLE, 
RIGHT? AND I THINK THE MAIN ONE 
IS ALL OF THE UI IS IN FINANCE AND 
OPERATIONS. IT'S NOT FOR VISUAL 
STUDIO AND IT'S MOSTLY FOR FUNCTIONAL 
CONSULTANT, RIGHT? BASICALLY, THE 
GUY WHO KNOWS EXC EL, WHO KNOWS 
THE BASICS OF THE SYSTEM, DATA, 
BUT WHO IS ACTUALLY, WE EMPOWER 
TO DO A LOT OF STUFF AS I WAS TALKING 
TO IZAAC AND ACTUALLY, WE HAD QUITE 
A LOT OF SUCCESS OF ADOPTION OF 
THIS TOO, SO WE HAD DELIVERED LIKE 
150NEW UPDATES OF THESE FEATURES 
AS MICROSOFT AND OVERALL, IT SHOWS 
THAT MORE THAN 5, 000 CONFIGURATIONS 
WERE CREATED BY PARTNERS AND CUSTOMER 
S BASED ON THIS FRAMEWORK, BUT LET'S 
TALK MORE ABOUT PERSONAS, RIGHT? 
AND I'LL TALK ABOUT SIMON, RIGHT 
SIMON IS THIS FUNCTIONAL CONSULTANT, 
AND ACTUALLY EMPOWER , WE GIVE CUMULATIVE 
AT THE SAME TIME, WE OVERLOAD HIM 
WITH TASKS SO I THINK THAT WE HAD 
THE DISCUSSION WITH SEVERAL OF OUR 
CUSTOMERS WHO ARE USING IT QUITE 
A LOT THEY'RE TELLING US THAT WE'RE 
GETTING ACTUALLY ASKING FROM BUSINESS 
UNITS CAN YOU CHANGE THIS PORT, 
CAN YOU MODIFY THIS PAYMENT AND 
ACTUALLY IT'S A SIMPLE CHANGE BUT 
BECAUSE IT'S SIMON EXPERIENCE, OUR 
SIMON S WITH OUR FUNCTIONAL CONSULTANTS 
ARE DOING THIS WHILE IN MANY CASES. 
IT CAN BE DONE BY BUSINESS USERS 
THEMSELVES, RIGHT? BECAUSE HUAWEI 
CLOSED TO THIS, RIGHT? AND HERE 
WITH CONFIGURABLE BUSINESS DOCUMENTS 
WE WANT TO EMPOWER WHAT WE CALL 
THE PERSONA , AND THAT IS AN ACCOUNT 
MANAGER AND BASICALLY, WORKING CLOSELY 
WITH CUSTOMERS AND BASICALLY, EMPOWERS 
A LOT OF CHANGES YOURSELF, WITHOUT 
ACTUALLY TALKING TO SIMON, BUT AT 
THE SAME TIME, THERE IS MORE COMPLEX 
SCENARIOS, RIGHT? SIMON COMES, HELPS 
FELIX AND AFTER THAT SHE CAN GO 
ON HERSELF , RIGHT? AND BASICALLY 
WHAT WE ARE DOING DOESN'T MEAN THAT 
SIMON DISAPPEARS FROM THE PICTURE, 
RIGHT? IT'S MORE THAT HE PREPARED 
A LOT OF STUFF FOR FELIX AND AFTER 
THAT FELIX CAN DO SMALL TRICKS, 
RIGHT? SO BASICALLY WHEN WE TALK 
ABOUT CONFIGURABLE BUSINESS DOCUMENTS, 
OUR SCOPE IS ACTUALLY CUSTOMER- 
FACING DOCUMENTS. EXACTLY WHAT FELIX 
IS DOING, INVOICES, RIGHT? AND SHE 
CAN CHANGE LAYOUT, SHE CAN DO SMALL 
ADDITIONAL FIELDS, AND DESIGNS, 
RIGHT? IF SHE NEEDS TO COMPARE COMPLETELY 
NEW TEMPLATE WITH COMPLEX BUSINESS 
LOGIC, SHE WILL NEED TO GO TO SIMON, 
SIMON WILL PREPARE IT SO THAT SHE 
CAN TWEEK IT, RIGHT? SO SIMON IS 
STILL HERE, AND WHEN WE TALK ABOUT 
I WOULD PROBABLY DO FROM THE SCOPE, 
BASICALLY, WE TALK ABOUT SEVERAL 
AREAS, AND I THINK THAT YOU SEE 
THAT IT IS MOSTLY LIKE CUSTOMER-FACING 
DOCUMENTS, RIGHT? AND BASICALLY, 
IT IS THIS CONFIGUREABILITY AND 
THE BUSINESS DOCUMENTS WOULD BE 
READY BY THIS OCTOBER RELEASE, FROM 
THE SCOPE OF THE DOCUMENTS, WE WILL 
BE RELEASING THEM OCTOBER IN A COUPLE 
OF LATER MONTHS UPDATES BUT THEY 
WILL COME VERY SOON AFTER THIS OCTOBER 
WAVE AND BASICALLY TO HERE, WE ARE 
NOT REPLACING IT, BUT WE ARE GIVING 
YOU ADDITIONAL OPPORTUNITY, ADDITIONAL 
OPTIONS AND IT'S FULLY SUPPORTED 
BY MICROSOFT, SO WHATEVER WE HAVE 
IN THE SYSTEM AS THE BASIC FUNCTIONALITY, 
WE WILL DELIVER AND GIVE YOU AN 
OPPORTUNITY TO USE THIS APPROACH, 
IF YOU WANT THE CUSTOMIZATION BY 
BUSINESS USERS, AND ACTUALLY AGAIN, 
WE TALKED A LOT WITH OUR CUSTOMERS 
& PARTNERS AND MANY OF THEM ARE 
TELLING US THAT FOR COMPLEX PROJECTS 
LIKE MULTI-NATIONALS, UP TO HALF 
OF THE COST OF THE PROJECT IS ABOUT 
CUSTOMIZING REPORTS AND ALSO ACTUALLY 
IT IS ABOUT CUSTOMIZING THIS CUSTOMER- 
FACING REPORTS AND THEY CAN BE CHANGED 
QUICKLY AND YOU CAN ACTUALLY HAVE 
LIKE SOME CUSTOMIZATION FOR A SPECIFIC 
CUSTOMER OF YOURS, RIGHT? BASICALLY 
INSTEAD OF LIKE CALLING INTO A PARTNER 
WHO CAN BE BASED IN A DIFFERENT 
COUNTRY AND TALKING WITH HIM AFTER 
THAT HE WOULD DELIVER THE VISUAL 
STUDIO, YOU JUST GO AND CHANGE IT, 
RIGHT? SO THAT'S THE IDEA. OKAY, 
SO THAT'S ENOUGH FOR THAT. LET'S 
GO BACK TO PRODUCT. SO WHAT I WAS 
TALKING ABOUT AND IT'S FULLY FINANCE 
AND OPERATION S AND WE CREATE A 
NEW WORK SPACE WHICH WE CALL BUSINESS 
DOCUMENT MANAGEMENT AND BASICALLY 
MYSELF, I CAN HEAR IT AND I ALREADY 
SEE ALL OF THE TEMPLATES WHICH WE 
AS MICROSOFT, OUR INTERNAL ASSIGNMENTS 
ACTUALLY MAY BE YOUR OWN, YOUR PARTNER, 
WHO HELPS WITH THE IMPLEMENTATION 
PREPARE FOR IT AND THIS IS ACTUALLY 
A LOT OF DIFFERENT TEMPLATES AND 
ACTUALLY SHE CAN PREVIEW SOME OF 
THEM BUT LET'S SAY THE SCENARIO 
THAT SHE NEEDS TO CUSTOMIZE THE 
VOICE LAY OUT, AND LET'S SEE HOW 
IT LOOKS NOW SO THAT I CAN GO TO 
LET'S SAY FOR FTI, AND I CAN PRINT 
IT AS WELL AS IN OUR CONFIGURABLE 
LAY OUT. LET'S SEE. YOU SEE THAT 
SSRS IS GENERATING QUITE A LOT OF 
TIME FOR IT TO LOAD, RIGHT, SO WE 
CAN SEE HOW IT LOOKS LIKE, WITH 
OUR FTI OPTIONS, SO FOR SOME OF 
THOSE DOCUMENTS, I CONFIGURE IT 
TO USAGE . I'LL START TO LOAD IT. 
SO IF I GO TO THIS DOCUMENT, WHICH 
I CONFIGURED FOR USAGE OF OUR CONFIGURABLE 
EXCEL IN THIS CASE, THIS YOU'LL 
SEE HOW THIS DOCUMENT LOOKS LIKE 
NOW AND WHAT I CAN DO, ACTUALLY, 
TO ACTUALLY MODIFY IT, AND I THINK 
WE HAD THIS QUESTION EARLIER, RIGHT? 
BECAUSE WE PREPARED THIS DECK BEFORE, 
RIGHT FROM THE PERFORMANCE PERSPECTIVE. 
OUR GOAL IS TO MAKE SURE TO MAKE 
THIS CONFIGURABLE EXPERIENCE FASTER, 
OR AT LEAST NOT SLOWER THAN BEFORE, 
RIGHT AND I THINK WITH OUR LIKE 
CURRENT TEST SHOWS THAT WE ACTUALLY 
ACHIEVED THIS GOAL, AND DIFFERENTLY 
WE'LL DO IT AS A PERFORMANCE GOAL 
SO AGAIN I SEE THIS BASIC VOICE, 
THAT SIMON PREPARED FOR ME IT'S 
GOOD ENOUGH, IT HAS DATA BUT IT 
IS DEFINITELY NOT NICE-LOOKING CUSTOMER-FACING 
ONE SO WHAT I CAN DO HERE. I CAN 
DO, I HAVE A LOT OF ERRORS , I CAN 
FILTER BY INVOICE, AND I SEE ALREADY, 
SIMON HAS PREPARED FOR ME THIS TEMPLATE. 
WHAT I CAN DO, I JUST SAY OKAY, 
EDIT TEMPLATE, SO I CREATE A
COPY OF IT, AND THE SYSTEM
ALLOWS ME TO GO TO OFFICE ONLINE 
, ACTUALLY, EXCEL ONLINE WHERE I 
CAN IMMEDIATELY DO MY STUFF, SO 
I'M COMING HERE AND LET'S SAY JUST 
TO FALL IN WITH THE LOGO OF THE 
COMPANY, SO WHAT I CAN DO HERE IS 
JUST GO AND SAY OKAY LET'S INSERT 
PICTURE AND I ALREADY PREPARED OF 
COURSE MY COMPANY LOGO AND I'M INSERTING 
IT IN HERE, RIGHT, I CAN CUSTOMIZE 
IT TO THE WAY THAT I WANT IT AND 
ALSO USUALLY, LIKE YOU CAN HAVE 
DIFFERENT COLORS . FOR EXAMPLE, 
I WANT TO MIX THE COLOR, FINE? I'M 
SAVING MY CHANGES AND I HAVE MY 
TEMPLATE IN PROGRESS, BUT I IMMEDIATELY 
CAN GO AND ACTUALLY ADJUST THE SAME 
INVOICE AND VOILA. I HAVE MY NEW 
INVOICE, RIGHT? SO AGAIN, IT'S ALL 
THE THINGS WHICH YOU CAN DO ONLINE, 
YOU CAN DO HERE, BUT IT'S LIKE BASICALLY 
, WE CAN DO MUCH MORE, SO LET'S 
GO WITH THIS ONE. AGAIN, I MENTIONED 
TO USE IT WE SUPPORT OFFICE TEMPLATES 
AND EXCEL IS ONE OPTION AND ONE 
OF THE OTHER OPTIONS IS WORD AND 
I THINK IN MANY CASES, LIKE FOR 
EXAMPLE, FOR QUOTATIONS, WHERE YOU 
HAVE A LOT OF TEXT AND MAYBE HAVE 
A LOT OF PICTURES, ET CETERA, SO 
LIKE QUITE COMPLEX THINGS FOR DIFFERENT 
INDUSTRIES, EXCEL IS NOT AN OPTION, 
SO YOU CAN USE WORD AS WELL, AND 
BASICALLY WE SUPPORT BOTH AND ACTUALLY 
IT'S THE SAME APPROACH, MORE OR 
LESS, SO HERE, I ALREADY HAVE MY 
FTI IN WORD. I CAN DO ABSOLUTELY 
THE SAME THING, BUT LET'S ASSUME 
HERE, SO LIKE IN MANY CASES THE 
FUNCTIONALITY OF OFFICE ONLINE IS 
STILL NOT THE SAME AS THE FUNCTIONALITY 
OF THE DESKTOP OPTIONS, WHAT YOU 
CAN DO HERE. IF I DON'T HAVE FOR 
EXAMPLE, FUNCTIONALITY OF OFFICE 
ONLINE, OR I'M MORE COMFORTABLE 
WORKING WITH THE DESKTOP, I'M LIKE 
MORE OF A DESKTOP USER, IT'S FINE. 
I CAN DO IT HERE AS WELL. ACTUALLY, 
WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE IN THE BACKGROUND 
JUST FOR ASSIGNMENTS WE ARE PUTTING 
ALL OF THESE DOCUMENTS IN THE INTERNAL 
SHAREPOINT, AND AFTER THAT WE ARE 
OPENING IT FROM THE SHAREPOINT, 
SO BASICALLY, IT'S JUST SHAREPOINT 
EXPERIENCE, BUT FOR JUST OPENING 
THE DOCUMENT, SAVE IT, THAT'S IT, 
RIGHT? WHAT WE ARE DOING HERE AND 
ACTUALLY, WE ARE PLANNING TO CHANGE 
IT GOING FORWARD, DOING IT INSIDE 
F& O, BUT FOR NOW WHAT YOU CAN DO 
IS YOU CAN USE THE STANDARD FUNCTIONALITY 
WHICH WE ARE PREPARED, LIKE YOU 
HAVE THE STRUCTURE OF THE DOCUMENT 
ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE. IS THIS 
CUSTOMER XML AND WHAT YOU CAN DO 
IS ACTUALLY ADD ADDITIONAL FIELDS 
HERE SO WHAT I CAN DO HERE, IS LET'S 
ASSUME I WAS MOSTLY WORKING WITH 
U. S. CUSTOMERS, BUT NOW, I'M GOING 
ACTUALLY TO DO SOME INTERNATIONAL 
SALES, AND HERE, I DON'T SEE THE 
CURRENCY AND YOU'LL SEE EUROPEAN 
CUSTOMERS WE DEFINITELY NEED TO 
SEE CURRENCY, BECAUSE SOME ARE IN 
DOLLARS, SOME ARE IN EUROS MAYBE 
GOING FORWARD, SO WHAT I CAN DO 
HERE, I CAN JUST GO HERE . I NEED 
TO EDIT THIS DOCUMENT, AND OPEN 
IT, I ADDED FIELDS AND HERE I CAN 
CALL IT LIKE SO I HAVE THE FIELDS 
AS YOU CAN SEE WHICH SIMON PREPARED 
FOR ME AND HERE IS THE CURRENCY 
AND AGAIN IT'S STANDARD FUNCTIONALITY. 
I'M SAVING AND CLOSING MY DOCUMENT. 
ACTUALLY WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE, 
THE SYSTEM NOTICES THAT I CHANGED 
MY TEMPLATE AND SAYS DO YOU WANT 
TO PRESERVE THE CHANGES YES, I WANT 
TO DO IT. I'M SAVING MY CHANGES 
AND NOW I CAN START USING MY TEMPLATE, 
BUT AGAIN THE WAY WE INTEGRATE IT'S 
THE SAME MANAGEMENT FUNCTIONALITY 
AS IT'S USED FOR S SRS, SO ACTUALLY 
YOU CAN LEVERAGE ALL OF THIS AVAILABLE 
FEATURES FOR EXAMPLE, SETUP DIFFERENT 
CONFIGURATIONS THEY SAY FOR DIFFERENT 
CUSTOMERS , ALL OF THAT IS SUPPORTED 
SO I NEED TO CHANGE MY FTI, IN THIS 
CASE, AND I'M GOING HERE AND SAYING 
THAT I WANT TO PRINT IT. SO I ADD 
IT TO MY DOLLARS, MY CURRENCY AND 
ALL OF THE FUNCTIONALITY AND SIMON 
PREPARED THIS AVAILABLE AND WE ARE 
WORKING TO ACTUALLY MAKE IT MORE 
USER FRIENDLY, BUT ACTUALLY ALL 
OF THE FIELDS WHICH SIMON GIVES 
SHE CAN ADD, RIGHT, IN THIS TEMPLATE. 
SO THAT'S BASICALLY IT FOR THE DEMO, 
SO THE OUTPUT IS JUST THIS IS A 
TOOL WHICH ALLOWS YOU TO DO THIS 
LAST MILE CUSTOMIZATION FOR THE 
CUSTOMER-FACING DOCUMENTS, SO BASICALLY 
IF YOU NEED SOMETHING MORE, YOU 
ALWAYS CAN TALK TO SIMON WHO CAN 
PREPARE YOU A NEW TEMPLATE BUT STILL, 
I THINK IT MAKES YOUR IMPORTANT 
STORY MUCH MORE ALLOWING YOU TO 
GO IN FROM WEEKS OF DEVELOPMENT 
FOR HOURS OF THE CUSTOMIZATION BY 
BUSINESS USERS. THANK YOU, QUESTIONS? 
NOPE? YES, MY FRIEND? >> WHICH VERSION 
IS THIS? >> IT WOULD BE RELEASED 
IN OCTOBER RELEASE, WAVE 2 AND I 
THINK ONE CALL TO ACTION FOR YOU 
GUYS, YOU KNOW, WE WILL HAVE THIS 
RELEASE IS ONGOING AND I THINK THAT 
IN AUGUST TIMEFRAME WE'LL HAVE EARLIER 
ADOPTER PROGRAM, SO IF YOU ARE INTEREST 
ED, AS PARTNERS AND CUSTOMERS, PLEASE 
SUBSCRIBE AND IT WILL BE AVAILABLE 
THERE SO IN LIKE IN AUGUST FOR THIS 
OCTOBER WAVE IT WOULD BE ALREADY 
THERE SO I ENCOURAGE ALL OF YOU 
TO GO THERE AND GIVE US FEEDBACK,

LIKE IF YOU FIND SOMETHING, SOME 
ADDITIONAL STUFF THAT YOU WOULD 
LIKE US TO CONSIDER, PLEASE GIVE 
US THAT FEEDBACK, ALL RIGHT AND 
ALSO STARTING FROM AUGUST YOU CAN 
PLAY WITH IT. OTHER QUESTIONS? YES? 
>> [INDISCERNIBLE] >> CHECKS? YEAH, 
I THINK WE HAVE SOME LIKE BASIC 
CHECK FUNCTIONALITY, WHICH IS AVAILABLE 
NOW BUT IT'S NOT PART OF THE CURRENT 
SCORE BUT I THINK IT'S LIKE THE 
FRAMEWORK SUPPORTS IT AND WE'LL 
LOOK AT IT BUT I THINK FOR THIS 
OCTOBER RELEASE, WE'RE NOT POINTING 
TO IT BUT ACTUALLY, NOTHING PREVENTS 
YOU, ACTUALLY LIKE LET'S PUT IT 
THIS WAY. EVERYTHING WHICH YOU LIKE 
CHECK IS ACTUALLY NOT HERE, LIKE 
IF YOU COME HERE, EVERYTHING WHICH 
YOU DELIVER OF THE TEMPLATES WOULD 
BE AVAILABLE, SO FOR EXAMPLE, HERE, 
WE HAVE THIS PAYMENT CHECK TEMPLATE 
BUT I WOULD SAY IT'S NOT THE SCOPE 
OF THIS PROJECT BUT ACTUALLY EVERYTHING 
LIKE NOBODY PREVENTS YOU AS TO CREATE 
THIS ONE AND USE IT. BUT YEAH, FOR 
MICROSOFT WE ARE NOT, IT'S NOT PART 
OF THE CURRENT CONTENT SCOPE, YEAH. 
THANK YOU. YEAH? >> [INDISCERNIBLE] 
>> DOES IT SUPPORT PDF? THE ANSWER 
IS LIKE, TWO WAYS, WHERE WE SUPPORT 
PDF IN ELECTRONIC REPORTING, SO 
BASICALLY, YOU CAN IN MANY CASES 
IN THE U. S. YOU HAVE THIS PDF TEMPLATE 
WITH THE FUNCTIONALITY WHICH WE 
DELIVER ACTUALLY IN APRIL WAVE, 
BASICALLY YOU CAN JUST IMPORT IT 
TO USE IT. WE DON'T SUPPORT THE 
EXPERIENCE BY PDF, BUT ACTUALLY, 
IF YOU HAVE A TEMPLATE, YOU CAN 
JUST IMPORT IT AND IT WOULD BE AVAILABLE. 
WE CAN LOOK INTO IT BUT IT'S NOT 
FULLY AN ASSUMPTION WHICH BEING 
SUPPORTED IT'S SOMETHING WHICH WE 
ARE CONSIDERING AN OFFICE EXPERIENCE. 
OTHER QUESTIONS? THANK YOU, EVERYBODY!
