MICROSOFT MAKES NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, AS TO THE INFORMATION IN THIS PRESENTATION.11/2/201231When we think about desktop apps, we have the following design elements settings, organization of data, navigation, commands, workspaces, etc.

As we think abt desktop apps to metro apps, we need to think about how the following things are transitioned

For example lets look at how, one of our partners, SAP as put these princinple into action (Kushal)SAP From ERP to Windows Store AppsFirst, our goal was to move from applications with traditional navigation (lists, master details, menus) to apps that delvired focused content for roles. In addtion, information is often spread across systems, which is a pain for the user, not to mention that reporting is oftern separate. Out aim is to bring it all together

Lets take the example of an app tailor-made for a sales person, not a generic app created to enter invoices:

1- Apply Design Thinking - We did intensive and comprehensive end user research - Focus on one role - We focused the most important and relavant information, even across systems- We designed using UI-First Approach 2- Design for the Platform- Replace complex navigation structures with only the relevant content- Choose the UI elements for displays of content (scrollable list, maps)- Organize data according to user needs, not according to generic principles (windows store app nav)3-Design for Enterprise Usability- security, lifecycle mgt, support, provisioning
