Next Generation LOB Applications

 

I’ve just returned from two weeks in Europe, presenting as part of the ReMIX tour in several countries.  It was a great experience, and I really enjoyed the participation and feedback at all the events. 

In Spain, Belgium, and Portugal, I was given the opportunity to deliver a new presentation that I’m working on called “Next Generation LOB Applications”.  The goal of the talk is to deconstruct a Line-Of-Business (LOB) application into 5 characteristics, and for each area explore how this area has changed over the past 15 years, and what new technologies might bring. 

For example, one of the characteristics of LOB applications are that they tend to be very interactive – based on this, I ask the question whether new input mechanisms (e.g. Touch in Windows 7) helps create a better experience for certain LOB scenarios.

You can find the deck I presented here on SlideShare.  I expect this to be working on this more in the coming months, and any feedback is always welcome (even if you weren’t at the event!).
