Overview Microsoft Entertainment and Devices (E&D) created an Office Business Application (OBA) using capabilities in the 2007 Microsoft Office system to more easily access and use business intelligence about every facet of the Xbox video game system. The new OBA lets employees use a familiar Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 user interface to utilize more than 140 actions, workflows, applications, reports, and data. Microsoft E&D harnesses the power of the OBA to empower its budgeting and forecasting decisions about the Xbox. The group created a flexible design that it can readily change as business requirements evolve by taking advantage of the native features and functionality of the 2007 Microsoft Office system.
