Apps for Office, mini applications that extend what you can do with the new version of Office, is a highly potent platform which is built into the Office Suite that can be leveraged to increase business productivity. During this session targeted to Business Decision Makers, we will take a look at what Apps for Office entails, how it can be used to add value to your business through real world scenarios, and understand what opportunities the platform can open up for your business to maximize your existing investment in the Office Suite. By the end, you will have learned how to unlock this powerful tool and immediately increase the productivity of your organization.

The Evolution of Applications
#SPC294
SharePoint Application Evolution 2003 – What is an Application?
SharePoint was not an Application Platform, except web parts Investments were in portals and content
2007 – Everything is an Application! Push to embrace SharePoint for LOB applications Experience was to write custom server side code
2010 – Choose the right Application SharePoint and Developer Tools come together Silverlight, CSOM and other new capabilities Partially trusted code reduces impact and risk to farm
2013 – Redefine Application as App… Client side experience via html or iFrame Leverage CSOM and REST APIs from Azure and other clients Investments in app discovery and management via SharePoint store
