LiveCycle Collaboration Service was the subject of a research report by Gartner Research, which you can read here: http://www.gartner.com/resources/171800/171891/adobes_new_collaboration_ser_171891.pdf
Exciting to see some external acknowledgment of the incredible potential behind this technology framework.
From the report:
Adobe will likely become the first vendor to offer cloud-based component collaboration services that can be integrated into business applications. For example, an enterprise could create a training tool for sales agents where the students act as customers to help each other improve skills for customer interaction and upselling.
I just came across a relatively new resource for developers integrating Connect Pro with various systems via the XML Web Services that have been in Connect Pro for a long time. In response to a number of questions on connectusers.com about integration examples, this site was created to focus on providing clear examples of uses of the APIs. For anyone beginning to wrap their heads around these services, I would definitely recommend following the blog. You can reach it here: http://www.connectbyexample.com/blog/
If you are interested in learning more about the technology under the hood of LiveCycle Collaboration Service, I’d suggest reviewing this presentation by Ryan Stewart from Adobe:

There are a number of exciting announcements happening at Adobe MAX this year, but one that is near and dear to ConnectSolutions is focused on Adobe LiveCycle Collaboration Service. LiveCycle Collaboration Service is the new name for what was once Adobe Flash Collaboration Service (and for early followers, CoCoMo), and with today’s announcements, it is now commercially available in two forms:
Using the Adobe® LiveCycle® Collaboration Service, organizations can easily build and deploy rich Internet applications (RIAs) that include real-time, multiuser collaboration tools. This means that your organization can explore opportunities to:
- Easily integrate text chat, whiteboard, webcam, and VoIP functionality.
- Rapidly build and deploy applications with the complete SDK.
- Manage user and session data.
- Host applications in a managed environment.
A datasheet is available here from Adobe on the overall capabilities of LiveCycle Collaboration Service.
