Hello. My name is Aatish Ramkaran.

I'm a Technology Specialist with Microsoft, concerned primarily with Office Business Applications (OBAs), Groove and the Open XML document standard.

Being a developer at heart, I will be posting a number of sample solutions and "thought experiments" here, ranging from

• Open XML explanations, thoughts and ideas in general
• OBA development - specifically Line-Of-Business system integration with Office (the very definition of OBA)
• integrations between disparate systems (if time allows me to flex the old BizTalk muscles)
• automation of business processes (see above)

I hope you enjoy the ride.
