The newest version of Visual Fusion has arrived and it is awesome!

Three words for you:

Silverlight – Speed – Search

The new Silverlight front-end is amazing.  Not only are the tools, controls, and feel something special, but there is tremendous power here.  The end user can do a ton of useful things, but my favorites are:

·         Filter each data source individually based on underlying attributes (range, match, keyword, etc.)

·         Extrude point data vertically or horizontally based on underlying attributes (dynamic visuals!)

·         Manipulate Virtual Earth in new ways for greater understanding (tilt & rotate the map view)

·         Bring in data feeds ad hoc:  KML/KMZ, ATOM/RSS, WMS, Wikipedia Search, Visual Fusion Enterprise Search, etc.

Take the front-end for a test drive here.

The speed with which anyone in the organization can create a business-focused application is jaw-dropping.  We have built a couple of GUIs that leverage SharePoint workflow and Site Templates to instantiate a new app in about a minute, and then add data sources in minutes as well.  I demoed this in an April 22 webcast, which can be found here.

Enterprise Search in Visual Fusion 4 means that all content integrated in your application can be searched against, no matter where it’s source is.  That’s power!
