- 9. The Business Challenge Bring in500,000 new prospects into the Outback Steakhouse customer database Do it fast, build the solution in as little as a month Use Facebook Key Constraints we Had to Work Within Don’t want to use any formal outbound marketing Have limited on-premise IT capacity to tap Don’t want to purchase new infrastructure for a marketing program
- 10. Use relational datato “see” business results Offload async processing from Web site Use a PaaS solution to avoid infrastructure hassles Give an offer worth signing up for … & capture the data in Azure Establish a dialogue on & off FB Make the offer store specific … to drive traffic to your bricks & mortar Encourage people to tell others

Give an offer worthsigning up for … & capture the data in Azure Establish a dialogue on & off FB Make the offer store specific … to drive traffic to your bricks & mortar Encourage people to tell others Use relational data to “see” business results Offload async processing from Web site Why Azure? Because you like being an IT strategist, or a developer or a marketer. And you don’t want to be a plumber, or a racker / stacker. Use a PaaS solution to avoid infrastructure hassles

Azure Toolkit 1.0 http://facebookazuretoolkit.codeplex.com SimplifiedLibrary for accessing Message Queues, Table storage, and SQL Azure ASP.NET Model View Controller (MVC) framework to render a “view” of Facebook Markup Language ("FBML") Ninject 2.0 (dependency injection) Auto Mapper 1.0 Automated Continuous Integration Deployment scripts Samples www.microsoft.com/facebook C# Toolkit 4.0 for .NET development http://facebooksdk.codeplex.com/ Compatible with all Graph API and REST API Calls Supports all forms of Facebook authentication: Cookies, OAuth 2.0, Signed Requests Samples Applications to get started quickly Client authentication tool to get test access tokens Get the case study here
- 17. The Business Challenge Provide smalland medium customers (restaurants, “mom & pop” convenience stores, etc) a better way to place orders, via a Web site instead of the current phone-based system Order volume varies greatly across year (Super Bowl, etc) Need to quickly scale their systems up or down based on need, paying only for what they need, when they need it No desire to build out the datacenters; would be idle in off-peak times Make CCE’s data & systems available to customers and partners Key Constraints we Had to Work Within There are existing on-premise systems that any solution must hook into, so a hybrid solution is required Improve upon old system by dynamically displaying contact info, customized list of products, promotions, & order history
- 18. The Solution Web basedsolution Uses hardware firewall to connect back to on-prem Silverlight client communicated with Web services to provide data & business logic from existing on-premise systems Results An average of $15 million / day in orders is placed vs. old system Able to quickly bring an app to market without incurring hardware and support costs in their data centers Scale out capability is already provided in Azure to support future needs Hybrid solution avoided rewriting the complex pricing logic or impacting other existing ordering mechanisms
- 20. The Business Challenge Record, trackand report on non-emergency incidents Handle address requests from large metro population Disaster recovery important given it is a hurricane- prone region Key Constraints we Had to Work Within Very limited (and declining) IT budget FY ‘09 to ‘10 Staff downsized by 32%; budget by 28% Miami downtown “grows” from 400K to 1.2 million between 9 to 5 Business Hours New hardware procured only once ever 5 years
- 21. The Solution Geospatial data isstored in SQL Azure Spatial Developed in Visual Studio 2010 as they can test the cloud solution on their local desktop Uses Bing Maps and other mapping technology and Azure compute Solution is remote to Miami Lessons Speed / versatility – converted to hurricane disaster follow-up app in 3 hours Pay as you go is HUGE – no need to over-invest Blob storage holds deployment packages as a rudimentary source control for quick deployment of time sensitive solutions like Damage Assessment Apps Azure isolates apps from each other; they don’t interfere with each other, so cleaner deployments and upgrades No worry about apps breaking because someone “messed with the infrastructure” Enterprise-class service for maintenance tasks without using your own precious headcount Integration with VS meant faster time to market and updates

- 24. The Business Challenge Mid-sized companiestypically pay invoices manually Print and mail checks Payment to suppliers take several days to deliver and clear Lots of inherent friction and potential human error Costs much as $3 per invoice Key Constraints Cannot fund implementations undertaken by large enterprise due to complexity and cost Large changes to existing processes not desirable Ongoing costs must remain low

Editor's Notes
- #11 Viral is geometric, exponential Top half: In return for the coupon, people will write this on their wall (which piques their friends’ interest) and tell their friends Bottom half: Thuzi used MVC to render FBML pages, hosted on Windows Azure using Web roles and Worker roles (for asynchronous processing to boost performance of the Web site) Needed relational database for higher end visualizing of the results data (in addition to tables and queues)

- #13 5 Web sites – primarily the Facebook app but also for Web services like email verification 3 worker threads Marketing: social graphing, stats, demographics to point to closest restaurants to create store-specific coupons NOTE: scalable, but simple Only 3 worker roles as there was not as much super time sensitive transactions, example of asynchronous model or example
- #14 Started with 20k fans Leveraged Facebook APIs to drive viral elements 350000 12 days 29166.67 per day 1215.278 per hour 20.25463 per second
- #16 Here is all the bits and runtimes you need Just add your own window dressing MVC lets you program in Facebook Dependency Injection to resolve dependencies in external components to help in unit tests
