Social Apps have arrived - how do you transform your ISV application to leverage these innovative principles, and what features do you need to build to get there? Join us for an interactive workshop that will give you first-hand experience in a new process we are introducing to our ISV partners. You will brainstorm on a sample application, and learn how to generate innovative ideas that address your customers needs in a forward-thinking way. After this session, you will be able to apply these same principles to start realizing your own Social App vision.
