It’s as though teams think its enough to just put up a container and content will appear. During the past year I’ve watch multiple sites stood up with weeks of effort and then try to cramRead… Read more »

The Big Elephant in the Sharepoint room

After all the “SharePoint Saturday The Conference” excitement has died down. I looked at both the agenda and attendance and came to the obvious conclusion. We’re still more enthralled with technology than content. I will not say that is necessarily a bad thing, however, for a technology that professes to help manage content as aRead… Read more »

Think Architecture, Not just Vendor Application

We move into the New Year with anticipation of doing great things with our infrastructure and improve the efficiency of our operations. Unfortunately, many have a tendency to look at the latest great thing (e.g., application, Operating System, etc…) as the magic bullet. Each vendor points to how his/her product is the “killer app” thatRead… Read more »

Doomsday Clock Architecture

And it will happen again and again, when the entropic equilibrium is disturbed. ItRead… Read more »

Chris uses oneRead… Read more »
