It was a small group of 11 but a closely knit one. This architect council is meant to be small and targeted. I kick start this architect council with a session on Office Business Application on the latest Microsoft Office Platform. My utmost kudos to our special guest, Chris Byrant (Senior Product Manager, Office Platform, MS Corp, based in Redmond) for his patience and professionalism. He charmed our fellow enterprise architects on his deep knowledge and candid presentation. Below are some of the comments from the Architect Council attendees ….

“The Office 2007 integration with Sharepoint is very interesting”

“Knowledgeable Speaker”

“OBA is a fantastic piece of capability to add to the suite of service and component in an Enterprise Architecture. The discussion may further help by covering the next level of depth. This include impact, readiness requirement, architecting approach concerning other parts of an EA”
