S+S architecture site now up on MSDN

There's a new site for Software + Services (S+S) architects. The site will be valuable whether for those of you who have a software product, a services product (SaaS), or both. The site is part of MSDN's Architecture Center.

The site covers several topics of interest to ISVs:

  • How to build S+S
  • How to run S+S
  • How to consume S+S
  • How to monitize S+S

To start with, there's a webcast that describes S+S from an architectural perspective. And an article, The Architecture Journal: Software + Services that talks architectures that supporta both fat and thin clients, mobile and desktop, local install and web.
