Talking about EUCCs
I have been getting emails from lots of you wanting the goods -- the real life examples of End User Composed Composites (EUCCs), and more information on the how and why of designing them...
Unfortunately I haven't been blogging about EUCCs for a while - instead I have been doing presentations. Those of you who are Microsoft FTEs can view the "Designing Capabilities Not Applications" session in the TechReady9 On Demand archives. The "Designing Capabilities Not Applications" session is in the Architecture Track: ARC304. Description as follows:
Many MOSS, OBA and other Composite applications are moving the application design decisions away from the Architects and Developers and putting them into the hands of the end users. This is a paradigm shift that changes the game and radically shrinks the development cycle. To be successful at end user driven designs, Architects and Developers need to think in terms of designing and delivering Capabilities rather than purpose built applications. End users then use workflow and rules to structure their own high value business solutions out of these Capabilities. This presentation will use MOSS and OBA examples from the field to explore the emerging patterns and practices that Architects and Developers can use to factor requirements into capabilities rather than purpose built applications.
For those of you who are not Microsoft FTEs, I am doing a presentation at the SharePoint 2009 conference in Las Vegas Oct. 19 - 22, the web site is: http://www.mssharepointconference.com . The session is SPC268 "Designing Capabilities Not Applications, with SharePoint 2010 Composites". The full description of that presentation is:
Learn about the power of end user composed solutions and how to plan, design and think in terms of capabilities to design them. We will discuss a conceptual pattern for differentiating and evaluating different SharePoint/Office System solutions and for understanding the advantages of Capability-driven solutions along with the institutional road blocks to these solutions.
A recorded version of that session will also be available to all conference attendees a few weeks after the SharePoint 2009 Conference.
