16. SharePoint in Browser
 Enforce users visiting SharePoint in the
browser, when:
 Internet/Extranet solutions
 but it depends...
 Unified User Interface for all content is important
 No SharePoint Workspace at all
 for example: branch offices
 Custom User Interface
 for example: custom forms, touch screen

17. Office Web Applications
 Enforce using Office Web Applications,
when:
 Internet/Extranet solutions
 No Office Clients at all
 For example, branch offices
 No fix office desk for the employees
 For example, Help Desk
BUT: Plan for the Performance!

18. Office Web Applications
 Don’t enforce using OWA, when:
 Users don’t understand it  Training!!!
 Cutom Office Add-ins are required
 for example, Contracts App for Word
 „Just for fun”

19. SharePoint Workspace 2010
 Enforce using SharePoint Workspace
when:
 Offline access is needed
for example, sales people or agents
 Would like to access content from different
sources
BUT: Be careful and set the permissions
properly!
