Here is the abstract from the session:
Turning Outlook into a Front-End for Third Party Systems
This session will explain both why developers should embrace Office as a front-end for their organization’s applications AND how to begin this process. I will explain the different technologies within Office and VSTO that enable developers to utilize Office for their solutions. I will explain how to build a solution within Outlook that integrates with a Line-of-business application. Along the way, attendees will see demos of Custom Form Regions, Custom Task Panes, and more. After attending the session, attendees will have new understanding of Office as a development platform.
