Office Business Applications (OBA) are an emerging class of software applications that help businesses unlock the value of their Line of Business (LOB) systems and turn document-based processes into real applications. OBA leverages the power of the Office Business Platform, to solve business problems. It uses the Microsoft Office System (such as Outlook, Word, or Excel) as the "front end" for a Line of Business (LOB) application. ==Background== Users perform significant additional work outside of the formal processes of a Line of Business (LOB) system as they collaborate with other people via phone and email, obtain information from multiple sources in the form of documents and spreadsheets, and switch between online and offline modes for meetings and business trips. OBA helps simplify this interaction by fitting within the informal processes that information workers actually follow. Applications and documents can be extended to add enterprise-specific features, and LOB systems can be seamlessly integrated with the Microsoft Office system to make the LOB system much more accessible. In more detail, OBA's employ a composite application architecture, and link the 2007 Microsoft Office System applications running on the desktop to custom and off-the-shelf Line of Business (LOB) applications running on remote servers. Typically this link happens via web services. For example, rather than using Outlook only for email and calendaring, an OBA might allow Outlook to also provide a view into an inventory system, a customer service system, or an HR system. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Office Business Applications」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
