can be built in just minutes with Visual Fusion GUIs and workflow, meaning everyone in the enterprise can build mashups for increased insight and greater productivity. Visual Fusion extends SharePoint, letting users integrate data from across the organization and the cloud into anything from a quick mashup to a robust, mission-critical, composite app.


Highlights of this industry-leading integration include:

• Add location & time to SharePoint content with extended content types
• Develop applications in just hours with site templates, Web Parts, and Features
• Employ governance via workflow, InfoPath forms, etc.
• Enforce security with group-level permissions
• Create and manage content in Lists & Libraries
• Syndicate SharePoint content in multiple formats
• Leverage Shared Services such as Excel and Search for dynamic user analysis
• Enjoy a powerful, customizable user experience built on Silverlight

With Visual Fusion, anyone in an organization can instantiate a new application using two business-user-friendly tools:

• App Hub: serves as both a directory of existing apps and a launch pad for creating new apps within a SharePoint workflow.
• Composer: a set of GUI tools used to easily select and meaningfully style data sources.

Business users can also apply advanced styling techniques like heat mapping, integrate multiple components like a map and timeline, and personalize with custom icons and logos. All of this can be done via forms and GUIs.

Visual Fusion also includes developer tools such as an Interactive SDK, C# APIs, JavaScript and REST APIs, and advanced configuration examples.
