ISV Lightning Webinar Series

Date Abstract

Dec 1 Defining your Lightning Strategy as an ISV - At Dreamforce '15, partners got a chance to see first hand the new evolution in user interface for our desktop experience. While this announcement was great, it left many ISVs unsure about whether to be building your App with Lightning Components or Visualforce. In this webinar, we will discuss the options available to you as an ISV and the steps you need to take today to make your app Lightning Ready.

Dec 8 Building & Releasing Lightning Components for ISVs - The Lightning Experience creates entirely new opportunities for ISVs to build Lightning components that engage and interact with customers in ways that were not possible with Aloha. In this webinar, we will discuss strategies for ISV who plan to release Lightning Components as part of their existing App or plan to offer them as standalone. We will also cover the type of Lightning Components and how Admins will use them as part of the building blocks for pages.

Dec 15 Migrating your Visualforce pages for Lightning Experience - After Dreamforce '15, many ISVs were left wondering how they can continue to leverage all the Visualforce pages that are included in their App. Well, the good news is Visualforce pages don't stop working with the Lightning Experience and many will work with little to no effort. In this webinar, we will walk through examples of how to make Visualforce pages work with the Lightning Experience and ways in which you can start to migrate some to Lightning Components.

Building Your Lightning Strategy

1. Self assessmenta. Tech Leader/Fast Follower/Left Behind? b. Technical Capabilitiesc. Manpower

2. Your App’s Environmenta. What is your use case? b. What do your customers demand?c. Who are your customers (where are they on curve)?d. Competitors?e. Market Segment

3. Your Visiona. If your app could be anything, what would it be? b. Are you gunning for the Dreamforce Keynote?

4. SFDCa. Are there currently any blockers?b. Are they on our Roadmap?

Questions that ISVs need to ask (and answer)

A whole new business modelComponents Provided by ISVs

● Lightning Components have their own

marketplace

● Generic - not tied to an app

● People need legos pieces too

● Free or paid welcome

Design Recommendations by Role

Role Recommendation

ISV Partners Start using Lightning Components for new apps or new features in existing apps. These units can be packaged for subscriber use and will work in the existing Salesforce Classic and the new Lightning Experience UI.

System Integrators Start using Lightning Components for new implementations. Continue using Visualforce for existing in-progress implementations.

Developers with Visualforce & JavaScript frameworks

Continue using Visualforce with your preferred JavaScript framework. Consider moving to Lightning Components eventually.

Citizen developers who use standard Visualforce components for pages.

Continue using Visualforce. Consider trying out the Lightning App Builder that comes with Lightning Components.

Admins who use point and click for customizations.

Use the Lightning App Builder to create apps and customizations while relying on developers and partners to build components with Lightning Components.
