App development for Office 2007

Microsoft is encouraging ISVs to <A HREF="http://searchwinit.techtarget.com/originalContent/0,289142,sid1_gci1262491,00.html?track=sy192">develop applications for Office 2007</A> in a strategy that the company said could ease the burden on IT managers. But making it easier for users to access apps might actually create its own set of problems.

Microsoft and independent software vendors are working together to develop Office Business Applications, or OBAs, in such areas as ERP, CRM and SCM.
