Paris release for company instance

A question that will pop-up a lot the coming days/weeks: what will be the official release date for the Paris release?

At this moment there is no release date officially published. My personal assumption is that this will mid-September. As you might have seen on Webassessor… the exam window for September 16th until September 30th is locked, this is a good indication that mid-September there's something going on .

And that's it!

Upgrade or start fresh?

Personally, I take this moment to wipe my instance and to start with a clean Paris release instance. Re-provisioning your Personal Developer Instance will take some time and effort if done manually. Have you read about my Blog series on specifically this topic, to provision your PDI quicker?
