CCF 2009 (Available from MSDN Subscriber downloads) introduces several enhancements to quickly compose UI components and services spanning multiple interaction channels.

CCF particularly fits to the following scenarios:

  • Delivery of composite applications such as the teller desktop in banking or Customer Service Representatives (CSR) desktop in contact centers. This scenario is also appropriate to extend legacy applications by adding new features or to adapt existing processes into a new technology.
  • Multi-channel infrastructures to support:
    • Cross-Channel business processes
    • Unified access to customer information spread across different systems
  • Development of new multi-channel front-end obeying an IT strategy heading towards a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA).
