- 4. The Power Platfrom Vision What are killer apps? Inspiration and examples
- 12. Killer Apps?
- 13. What are Good Apps? Easy to use Fulfill a need (send of receive data) Smart actions (automate / integrate)
- 14. What are Killer Apps? A great app with bad data is worthless A bad app with great data is valuable! A great app with great data is a killer app! A great app performing smart actions is a killer app!
- 15. Killer Apps make people happy!
- 16. A Great App is easy to use…
- 17. Errors Example: Why it matters: Be clear and specific on what and where the user’s error is. Oftentimes users perform unintended actions or actions that didn’t lead to desired results – and allowing them to go back and try again means they won’t be frustrated, guilty and will recover easily and keep moving on the flow.
- 18. Don’t use more than 3 primary colors Example: Why it matters: combining three colors is difficult, so for most cases more than that should be avoided. You can use a secondary color like black, white or grey for a large text. This way you keep your App neutral and better to read.
- 19. Use language that the user understands Why it matters: You can set the whole tone off your app with language. Is it an App used for business? Make sure your language is set in the right tone.
- 20. Use icons who are easy to recognize Example: Why it matters: Icons must first and foremost communicate meaning. When it’s not clear what the icon represents, it immediately loses its meaning and becomes nothing more than visual noise. What makes an icon great is the fact that its meaning can be understood without reading a label.
- 21. Use pictures who give a point of focus Example: Why it matters: You can use photo’s to let people get their focus to the right place on the screen. The most powerful iconic images consist of a few meaningful elements, with minimal distractions.
- 22. What are Killer Apps? A Great app with Great content (send receive valuable data) or Smart actions (automation or integration)
- 23. What do Killer Apps do? Easy access or creation of valuable data (on the go) Data in SharePoint, SQL Server, CDS or API
- 26. Put all your data to work with Common Data Service for Apps Jumpstart apps using a standardized data model with business logic, security and integration built- in Extend to your own needs and integrate across your apps and services Seamless Dynamics 365, Office 365, and Azure integration, augmented with data from industry partners
- 28. What do Killer Apps do? Use Smart Actions to Automate, Process, Integrate and Detect Using Flow, Connectors and AI Builder (Machine Learning)

Editor's Notes
- #9: To disrupt and innovate, industries must take on a strategy that connects their customers, employees, products and operations as effectively as possible. Streamlining their business to respond to customer demands, and pooling data across the organization so that analytics can hunt. A concrete connected Business applications strategy and implementation can support industries that are looking to disrupt. When you think about the real connection point between organizations—it’s the data—and the applications that are enabling forward motion. Interconnected business applications are fundamental to ensure the most robust data is being generated and harnessed so that: Customers have ideal experiences Employees are empowered to do their best Operations can ensure effectiveness and efficiency across the business And that the best products and services are being developed and delivered <Click>
- #10: The framework we use to highlight how digital transformation is enabled is what we call digital feedback loop. And at the center is data. Data is coming out of everything. Every single product at this point is being wired up with telemetry and the ability to collect data – for example, my thermostat at my house knows when I'm changing my temperature. Every motor that's manufactured at this point is emitting telemetry. Every time I browse the web there's telemetry being created. And so this torrent of information allows us to better understand our customers, our operations, the use of our products and services is fuel for this transformation…. <click> ….which then allows us to go mine for intelligence, predict what customers may need, understand when a piece of equipment is on its way to a challenging spot or to a failure before it gets there. <click> Taking all of this information, these predictions, and then feeding that back into your business processes, this is where the change is occurring. <click>
