Today we finished the first part of the ISV engagement here in Belgium. Together with Chris Volckerick, I think we did a good job getting the 19 ISVs involved in the process of creating business cases around Office smart client technologies and the Information Bridge Framework. Chris showed some nice videos about IBF integration with Microsoft CRM and Reporting Services. We have a whole list of upcoming case studies:

  • VSTO 2005
  • Document generation
  • IBF and Navision
  • IBF and SAP
  • Schema-attached documents
  • Smart documents
  • Research Pane (more on this in my next post!)
  • HealthCare and InfoPath

Within 2 weeks I will start a 2-week coaching of all these ISVs. Great stuff! If any of you reading all of this, you are on the right track!
