Types of Add-ins
Interoperability Functionality
![Page 9: Office 2010 Sans the Add-Insilta.personifycloud.com/webfiles/productfiles/913826/DASPG2.pdf · Approach to freeing Office • Minimize add-ins on image – Gold image with “all](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042418/5f34456b1c0f4c690f22d6f1/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
How does an Add- In Function?
• Register and load, if enabled, upon programstartup
• Can be enabled or disabled
• Interact programmatically with host app
• Vary greatly
– Simple - enhancements or extra menubuttons/bars
– Complex - separate programs with their ownmemory/CPU slices
![Page 10: Office 2010 Sans the Add-Insilta.personifycloud.com/webfiles/productfiles/913826/DASPG2.pdf · Approach to freeing Office • Minimize add-ins on image – Gold image with “all](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042418/5f34456b1c0f4c690f22d6f1/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Why use Add-Ins?
• Create better user experience
• Improve application integration
• Easier to bundle in the image than distributeon demand
• Vendors prefer it – competing for real estate
• Filling Office functionality gaps
![Page 11: Office 2010 Sans the Add-Insilta.personifycloud.com/webfiles/productfiles/913826/DASPG2.pdf · Approach to freeing Office • Minimize add-ins on image – Gold image with “all](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042418/5f34456b1c0f4c690f22d6f1/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Why remove Add-Ins?
• Improve responsiveness
• Improve stability
• Reduce support/development needs
• Reduce user calls / frustration
• Reduce software costs

STORIES FROM THE FIELD

Approach to freeing Office
• Keep UI close to out-of-the box
• Use native functionality where possible
• Consider users’ workflows and functionalneeds
• Look at EVERYTHING!
![Page 14: Office 2010 Sans the Add-Insilta.personifycloud.com/webfiles/productfiles/913826/DASPG2.pdf · Approach to freeing Office • Minimize add-ins on image – Gold image with “all](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042418/5f34456b1c0f4c690f22d6f1/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Process
• Find the right team members
• Review functions in old environment
• Consider new tools
• Evalulate new tools
• Determine what earns inclusion
• Test, test, test!!!

Obstacles
• Vendors’ approach
• Missing/flawed functionality in Office
• Need for niche tools
• IT staff changes
• Lack of familiarity with new features
• Time

What Worked
• Teams working on add-ins were in constantcommunication
• Use of a few key consultants with more in-depth knowledge of Office 2010
• Microsoft SCCM for application deployment
• AppSense for profile management
• Vendor responsiveness to issues
![Page 17: Office 2010 Sans the Add-Insilta.personifycloud.com/webfiles/productfiles/913826/DASPG2.pdf · Approach to freeing Office • Minimize add-ins on image – Gold image with “all](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042418/5f34456b1c0f4c690f22d6f1/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
What Didn’t Work
• Vendor responsiveness to issues
• Not enough time for adequate testing ofimage with all add-ins
• Vendor delays in 2010-compatibleapplication versions
• Assuming SCCM and AppSense would doeverything
• Native Word Compare

Bottom line

Approach to freeing Office
• Adopted a "bouncer" philosophy, minimalistapproach
• Streamlined interface, simplified workflow
• Agile software deployment "App Store"system – key
• Increased automation in softwaredeployment, evolved software packaging
• Rigorous, methodical testing
![Page 22: Office 2010 Sans the Add-Insilta.personifycloud.com/webfiles/productfiles/913826/DASPG2.pdf · Approach to freeing Office • Minimize add-ins on image – Gold image with “all](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042418/5f34456b1c0f4c690f22d6f1/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Process
• Critical look at all software – what could bereplicated with new, built-in functionality?
• User feedback and analysis – what did ourvarious practice groups REALLY use, andwhat did they consider to be unnecessary?
• Extensive pilot testing, working closely withfull range of users
• Full firm buy-in on approach and results
![Page 23: Office 2010 Sans the Add-Insilta.personifycloud.com/webfiles/productfiles/913826/DASPG2.pdf · Approach to freeing Office • Minimize add-ins on image – Gold image with “all](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042418/5f34456b1c0f4c690f22d6f1/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Process (cont’d.)
• Applications Matrix with Three-TierClassifications:
– Tier 1 = Applications used by everyone
– Tier 2 = Applications critical to one or morepractice areas
– Tier 3 = Everything else
• Tier 1 apps bundled directly into Core Image
• Tier 2 & 3 apps are "on demand"

Obstacles
• Vendor support for "new" Office was challenging
• Lack of expertise with Office 2010 initially –needed development
• Needed a superior software deployment system
• Needed deeper packaging expertise
• Participation and buy-in from practice groupsand firm management – radically differentapproach
• Political pressure

What Worked
• Microsoft SCCM and advanced applicationpackaging made "app store" concept possible
• Incorporation of "Six Sigma" into test cyclesensured accuracy with complex add-in integrations
• Close work with practice groups throughout theprocess
• Overall, add-ins were reduced by roughly half
• Streamlined image has reduced Helpdesk calls by38%

What Didn’t Work
• Vendors in general really want you to useadd-ins – did not prove helpful in technicaltalks regarding streamlining
• Poor existing documentation in most casesregarding add-ins

Approach to freeing Office
• Minimize add-ins on image
– Gold image with “all user” apps.
– Most Add-in were in after image packages.
• Treat Office, especially Outlook, as scarcereal estate
• Office 2010
– Allow users to disable add-ins on their own
– Still in pilot

Obstacles
• Some Add-ins are necessary for folks to dotheir work
• Others require completely different approach
– Example – using server-based metadatascrubbing instead of client-based
• Vendors continue to focus development onadd-ins
– InterAction

What Worked
• Creating a process that made it hard for anadd-in to reach the “gold” image
• Accepting that a goal of fewer add-ins madesense
• Disabling add ins even for gold image apps
– Example – Nuance and WorkShare in Outlook

What Didn’t Work
• The No Add-in Image
– Too many “must have” items

Putting it all together
• It takes a village
• Who is responsible for the components ofthe desktop? For add-in decisions?
• What is the impact on user support andtraining?
• Enterprise App store - demise of the “onesize fits all” desktop?
