8. App Model Benefits
No custom code on the SharePoint server
Easier to upgrade to future versions of SharePoint
Works in hosted environments w/o limitations
Reduces the ramp-up time for those building apps
Don’t need to know/be as familiar with SharePoint “-isms”
Leverage hosting platform options in new apps

9. Why Apps?
End Users: consumerization thru
app catalogs
IT Pro: stable SP environments
Devs: reuse existing skill sets

Users

23.  Architects important
 Additional configuration (security)
 Code Scope (App Web)
 Data Access Performance (Farm vs
Apps; network & cloud latency)
 Full screen apps vs chrome
 Isolation
 Apps and Search Crawl (not by default)
 Access external web services &
databases (unlike Sandbox solutions)
 Non-.NET participation
 No upgrade concerns – really?
 Process monitoring (no longer
needed?)
 IT Pro headaches a thing of the past?
