Office Business Application (OBA)
Microsoft Office has come a long way. It used to be just bunch of applications for word processing, spreadsheet management, email, etc. Now it has evolved into a complete business application platform, where customers and partners can leverage the underlying platform to build applications. These OBAs will utilize the most familiar interface to informaiton workers, which is office to enable new scenarios and increase productivity.
My team mate Atanu Banerjee has created a first complete application for supply chain management using OBA. Its is a great demonstration of how to use OBA to build your next generation application. Please check out the OBA page, application documentation and the related code. You can donwload eveything for free and build on it.
