February 15, 2007 at 3:36 pm ·

Remember this old Xplane Diagram?

Download this PDF.

My client handed me this today I was like… whoa blast from the past. There is great stuff in here to think about though when designing Enterprise applications.

Know Thy User is important. Consider how employees will interact with your application from Orientation to Retirement.

So if you dig this Xplane diagram remember that Viz Think1 (not crazy about the name Ryan :-) is happening Tuesday, February 27th, 2007. Check it out.

Carsten on the new SharePoint Search

January 26, 2007 at 11:54 pm ·

On Thursday, November 23, 2006 the Toronto .net Users Group held a session on search in Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007

from the Toronto .net Users Group site

As one of the major focus areas for Microsoft, competing with Google in the enterprise space is taking centre stage. Not only will Office SharePoint Server 2007 launch with an optional, cost-effective “search only” SKU, the company is also launching an upgrade to its Windows Desktop Search that searches the user’s desktop, the Internet and any intranet indexes using SharePoint’s indexer. We’ll look at the different components of this strategy and examine some of the architectural opportunities opened up by them.

Mr. Knoch is the Principal Consultant at Navantis responsible for supporting the sales team and overseeing software requirements. Before Navantis, Carsten worked at Microsoft, in Canada and South Africa, where he was responsible for launching Africa’s first MSN portal.

I recorded his presentation and have videos posted below
