CMS Experts or Fish Bones? The Choice is Clear!

October 31, 2012

Every business person has seen, and probably used, a Fish Bone Diagram. It’s a proven tool that helps us objectively assess a problem. Last year my team and I created a fish bone in hopes of finding a solution to our Content Management System (CMS) problems. The cause and effect diagram is a visual way to organize data and brainstorm solutions but, in order to use it effectively we had to identify every problem. In the world of the Fish Bone Diagram, we refer to this as ‘knowing your bones’. When it comes to CMS portals, my team doesn’t understand the challenges of design, development, configuration, implementation, integration and support of a CMS system.

Business Intelligence

When was the last time you came up for air? If you can’t find, compile and analyze the data you need to make good business decisions, you probably feel like your brain is starved for oxygen and you are drowning in the rocky seas of data overload. That’s how I used to feel – until my BI IT consultant threw me a life preserver and pulled me to safety!

If your business is like mine, you probably struggle to get accurate business information, and present it in a way that enables decision making and strategic and tactical planning. If you are going to succeed in business, you have to have a comprehensive reporting and planning process and that process has to spread across the organization and cascade down to every team member.

That was yesterday!Today, you can find a really great offshore outsourcing partner; one that will deliver seamless services.

There are a lot of partnerships! Dance Partners, Tennis Partners. It seems to me that one of the most important partnerships to a business and technology person is the partnership forged between an IT consulting partner and your company.OK, so I was kidding about looking good in jeans, but the rest is really important! If you want to achieve your goals, your partner must provide skill and experience across platforms and industries, for all types of clients, including Small and Medium Enterprises (SME). They should offer direct client services, and partner with carefully selected local and regional technology companies to offer more options. You’ll want domain expertise, product development skills, implementation processes and methodology and an approach to partnerships that creates and sustains long-term relationships.

BADA Bing, BADA Boom!

June 15, 2012

“What do you know about BADA,” my CTO asked. “I know it precedes the words ‘bing’ and ‘boom’,” I replied. Who knew that BADA is the embodiment of a Samsung mobile device platform that lets you do custom development for apps with 3D graphics and multi-touch capability with really fast, dependable performance?

OK, OK…so maybe you knew but I certainly didn’t so I found myself an expert technology consultant to help me navigate the BADA world! They told me that BADA supports Flash and has numerous UI and sensor controls, push notification and SNS integration. The UI supports face detection, fine tuned vibration, motion sensing and web controls and can be customized for a specific user experience.
