MSDN Industry Center - Manufacturing - OBA Reference Application Pack for Supply Chain Management

Globalization, specialization and outsourcing are changing the way we work. Global information workers need to collaborate in a way that is seamless, synchronized and secure. Microsoft’s 2007 Office System provides a platform for building composite solutions, called Office Business Applications (OBAs), designed to support cross-functional processes and allow information workers to collaborate. Assembled from a company’s current collection of information assets, OBAs allow global information workers to gain insight, collaborate, make decisions, and take action -- as we move from a transactional world to a collaborative one, our tools must also change.
