Fighting a full mailbox - stop sending me large files

October 3rd, 2008

I am currently working at a client site for consultancy work. This morning I came to the client site and spent a frustrated hour cleaning up my mailbox, as I have yet again reached my email quota, and could not send any more emails before I do some cleaning up.

So I set up a small rule for myself. Sort by subject, and if there are any attachments, delete everything by the latest one, that way, hopefully I would end up with the “latest” version…

It never ceased to surprise me how large companies (and my client is one of the largest blue chips in the world) still do not take advantage of Document Management software or Online Collaboration tools. The irony is that these companies bought various tools and software, however they are disparate, IT driven, too complicated to setup, and ended up not being used. And people end up with the frustration of losing files, version confusion, same document duplicated all over the network, and full mailboxes..

Value of integrated information management portal

September 28th, 2008

Various companies spend huge amounts of money, time and effort to get the best of breed intranet applications, and end up with the headache of maintaining them. Information is stored in silos, and extra effort (and cost!) has to be spent in order to allow information to be shared between one application and another.

In contrast, a relatively modest investment in the Integrated Claromentis Intranet Platform ensures that disparate business information is stored in a single integrated and extendable data model, which allows common data to be shared by various applications. On top of that, additional bespoke applications to provide specific business need can be built within the same model to ensure a coherent business focus application environment.
