  1. Design Option #1 – Use OOB Features • SharePoint OOB features • InfoPath form for UI • Lists to store data • SharePoint WF • Pros: • Cheaper (since it is OOB) • Cons: • OOB features limit what can be done • WF cannot be customized • UI limitations (no metro UI) • Etc.

  2. Design Option #2 – Custom Development On SharePoint • SharePoint Custom Web Pages • Custom UI • Lists to store data • Custom WF • Pros: • Integrated in SharePoint • Deployment/maintenance tools available OOB • Cons: • UI development requires lot of Java Scripting • Will need custom web parts, java scripting etc. for supporting some of the UI requirements (expensive) • Server side code not supported • Getting data from external sources is harder (BCS to some extent) • Custom workflow development is expensive • Workflow limited to SharePoint (can’t use full windows WF stack)

  3. Design Option #3 – App for SharePoint 2013 • Develop Custom Web App • Custom UI • SharePoint Lists to store data (or any other backend) • Custom WF • Pros: • It will be a regular web app integrated with SharePoint • Full windows web app development stack can be utilized • App deployed/maintained outside SharePoint • Cons: • Extra resources needed for app hosting (ideally)

  4. We chose #3 because…. • Custom UI development easier • Team already had good web developers • No UI limitation • Can use HTML5 or any other latest UI technology • Integrating with external sources is easy • Given all of windows web app dev stack is available • Custom code for a specific data source can be written and called by the app • App is hosted separately • No resource sharing with SharePoint server • Reduces SharePoint support cost
