• Demonstrations Users, with
persona, are solid foundations to
building great integrations.
• Populate Each User with Social
Data.
• Phone / Email / Title
• Updates / Activites / Communities
• Populate Social Interactions
• Share Details and Artifacts
• Connect more than Two Individuals

organization, consider reusing
the characters.
When you add folks to your
organization, add a few demo
users, and yourself…

20. INTEGRATIONS
20

21. Integrations
Integrations are at
various levels of
complexity.
Integrations use the
secure REST-Styled
services
Integrations are of
many types:
• Headless
• Seamless and
Sovereign
• Loosely Coupled
• Hybrid
http://www.ibm.com/cloud-computing/social/us/en/integratedapps/

22. Secure REST-Styled Services
Every service, in general
has an API.
The services support Basic
Authorization, Security
Assertion Markup
Language (SAML) and
Open Authorization
(OAuth).
One should look for Feed
Icons for API endpoints.

23. Tools
Developers are prototyping
and interacting with the
service:
Fiddler2
Postman
Firebug
Browser Developer Tools
Generally, browser
developer tools output
more details around
security violations with
cross-domain issues.

24. Headless
1010110
Developers are using the IBM SmartCloud
for Social Business as a social repository,
where they leverage the scale and social
data for their applications
Many partners take
advantage of Search and
OAuth isn’t an option.

25. Seamless
•
Loosely coupled user interfaces
provide a seamless experience
between 3rd party applications and
the cloud.
•
User Interface Extensions, action
links, provide an intelligent link from
the Cloud to 3rd party applications.
•
3rd Party Application reuse the Lookand-Feel (CSS) and the Cloud
Toolbar.
•
Context Switches are all seamless.

26. Loosely Coupled
Developers have a lot
of options to loosely
couple and provide a
custom experience.
