This Opening Session

The brave new world of business, IT and the cloud Megatrends Tipping point for enterprise IT

How Microsoft has adaptedSharePoint 2013What it means for Business, IT and Developers

This is the story of three worlds…

Business IT Cloud

Three Worlds

What megatrends define these three worlds?

Information Technology

Cloud

What is the Brave New World?

Service

Where does this leave IT?

You must be here

The role of IT

Address business needs with technology (SERVICE) Identify technological solutions Address suitability, cost, and risk

Deliver an optimized solution (COST) On-premise platforms and infrastructure Existing services Commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) software Customized solutions (traditional “development”)

Manage service portfolio (CONTROL) Interoperability Service management (performance, capacity, redundancy, cost) Information management (security, compliance, information lifecycle)

CENTER OF EXCELLENCE

How has Microsoft adapted to the Brave New World?

Microsoft Cultural Shift

Cross-company cooperation Windows, Servers & Tools, Office, Azure Unified experiences

Connected servicesCross-platform, cross-device Windows (8, RT, 7), Windows Phone (7-8), Xbox HTML5 iOS (iPad, iPhone), Android

Developers! Developers! Developers! Modern, cloud-ready app models “Only” 20% of the world’s developers are .NET developers “Bring your own platform”

What does that mean for SharePoint?

What is a SharePoint App?

An extension of SharePoint capabilities “Self-contained pieces of functionality that extend the capabilities of a

SharePoint website” – MSDN (bit.ly/MFDnI9)

with a UI surfaced in SharePoint App can appear full screen (immersive) or through an IFrame Declarative changes to SharePoint UI to support the application

with code running elsewhere No custom server-side code running on SharePoint Can contain some declarative SharePoint artifacts

that uses CSOM or REST (OData) to interact with SharePoint Remote event receivers

installed by users through the SharePoint Store or App Catalog

Supported in SP2013 Yes Yes Yes

SharePoint Online compatible No Yes Yes

Auto-hosting compatible No No Yes

Requires local farm for developers Yes Yes No

Remote deployment and debugging from Visual Studio No No Yes

Why do we need a new app model?

Challenges with WSP solutions

Full-trust solutions Performance and stability concerns Incompatible with SharePoint Online

Sandboxed solutions Clunky architecture, too limiting

Requires administrative deployment and supportLifecycle management Upgrade, decommission

Steep learning curveNot cloud ready Scalability Multi-tenant aware

Benefits of the new app model

• Leverage existing knowledge & expertise• Manage application lifecycle independently of

platform• Revenue potential of SharePoint Store

Developers

IT Managers

• Govern the visibility and availability of applications

• Manage service independently of applications• Customizations pose virtually no risk to service

Info Workers

• Familiar app concepts & components• Find apps in SharePoint Store or app catalog• Self-service provision, upgrade and delete

Mindset

Apps for SharePoint are like apps for phones User driven Independent of the underlying platform Often, consuming or exposing external services and content

Business OS of the Cloud

What does this mean to developers?

Change of Approach

Out-of-box SharePoint (browser) SharePoint Designer InfoPath SharePoint clients (Office)

Third-party, commercial off-the-shelf (COTS)

Extensions of functionality & capabilities Apps Consume SharePoint services: Search, BCS, Metadata, Profiles…

Change of Architecture

User Interface JavaScript HTML Native applications

Business Logic Any language, anywhere .NET running in Azure, PHP, …

Data SQL Azure, MySQL, …

Interaction with SharePoint REST CSOM (JavaScript, .NET)

Change of Skillset
