Windows 8 in the Enterprise

Chris Sellscsells@telerik.com@csells

My Three App Types

• Entrepreneur Consumer• Enterprise Consumer• Enterprise Line-of-Business

• Windows is used to build all of these apps on the desktop and the web

Windows + Entrepreneur Consumer

• ~60% of enterprise devs on their evenings and weekends• Entrepreneurs on all versions of Windows through-out

history– Win8 and WP8 app stores catching up with iOS and Android

• Primary concerns:– Uptake: most entrepreneurs have moved on to web and

mobile– Business model: roll your own

• Entrepreneurs generally fail or graduate to the next stage…

Windows + Enterprise Consumer

• Examples: Facebook, Bank of America• Windows owns the consumer PC market

• Windows mobile solutions catching up with iOS and Android• Additional concerns:

• Delight: DirectX-based GUI stacks (IE, XAML, DX11)• Scale: computers and services of all kinds on both client and

server sides• Use without help: Windows style guidelines make apps

familiar– Once a company makes money, it builds internal apps to reduce

costs…

Windows + Enterprise LOB

• Examples: expense reporting, paystub• Windows is a popular choice for building Enterprise LOB apps

– WinForms and WPF on the desktop, WebForms and MVC on the web• Additional concerns:

– ROI/saving money: great tools, languages and frameworks– Secure access: AD authentication and VPN to access intranet resources– Data storage: SQL on the client and the server– Data sync/offline support: Sync framework or SQL replication on desktop

• No one seems to expect web sites to work offline– Private deployment: MSI, ClickOnce, intranet web access– Data integration/sharing: email Office files to your friends

Windows 8 Metro-style Apps

• Windows 8 provides a new kind of app: “metro-style”– Pride in craftsmanship– Be fast and fluid– Authentically digital– Do more with less– Win as one

Windows 8 + Entrepreneur Consumer

• Huge potential market (700M Win7 users)– First Windows app store– EOM support for a wide variety of devices– OS supports desktop, web and metro-style apps (hybrid OS)– Microsoft doesn’t give up; they will expand market share

over time• Primary concerns:

– Uptake: Win8 uptake more than Vista, less than Win7– Business model: built-in support for free, paid, trial, ads,

roll your own

Windows 8 + Enterprise Consumer

• Businesses are targeting consumers with Win8• E.g. Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, Dropbox, etc.

• Additional concerns:• Delight: DirectX-based GUI stacks (IE, XAML, DX11)

– 3 of the 5 metro design principles target “delight”• Scale: devices and services of all kinds on both client and

server sides• Use without help: “Do more with less” principle

Windows 8+ Enterprise LOB

• Windows is a popular choice for building Enterprise LOB apps– WinForms and WPF on the desktop, WebForms and MVC on the web

• Additional concerns:– ROI/saving money: more tools, languages and frameworks (XAML,

HTML, C++)– Secure access: AD auth and VPN to access intranet resources (not

the SurfaceRT!)– Data storage: SQLITE recommend on the client– Data sync/offline support: No built-in sync/offline support– Private deployment: InTune– Data integration/sharing: Sharing contract (along with others)
