An article on choosing the right CMS (Content Management System) for your needs. Open Source or off the shelf?
Wordpress, Joomla, Drupal, Kentico, SiteCore…..what do they all mean?
ASP, PHP, Ruby, Python, WordPress Or Billy-Cart!
Posted by Simon | Filed under Development, Digital Foundry, Technology
When we set out to build, be it a website, a property or a billy-cart, we have to take into account all the variables that exist around it.
Who is going to live in it?
Who is going to ride it?
or
Who is going to view it?
And having written that, for a website it still makes sense. We live in our websites if they are our business, we ride it if its an e-commerce or social media site, and view it if it is an information website.
With the plethora of website technologies around today, how do we chose?
Salesforce.com, coming to a WordPress site near you
Posted by Simon | Filed under Content Management, Customer Relationship Management, Miscellaneous
Every business is looking for that dynamic edge where website interaction meets customer service, and there is no finer edge than the Salesforce.com platform, when it comes to online dynamic CRM (Customer Relationship Management) software.
From another perspective, every business looks for cost effective online representation that puts the power of a CMS (Content Management System) into the hands of business owners. And that is where WordPress enters the scene as a flexible and effective content management system, that although is primarily a blogging tool is just as, yet if not more effective, as a lead generation tool.
So how can we combine the power of Salesforce.com and the flexibility of WordPress?

HTML5 trends in eLearning
Posted by Simon | Filed under New Technology, eLearning
Being exposed to many technology platforms is one of the bonuses of operating as a Technical Director. When architecting a solution for a client, we get to look at the requirements and determine the best technology mix, to offer the perceived benefits and achieve the business outcomes.
Sometimes we propose a new technology, but our clients haven’t reached the technological maturity level within their business to support it, and other times we have a client who wants to push the boundaries of what is possible and embrace new technology.
So it is a breath of fresh air, when a client asks us to deliver a cutting edge, accessible and integrated eLearning solution.
Online Global Project Management
Posted by Simon | Filed under Project Management/Outsource Model
With online business that expands across the globe, how do we project manage our interactive online projects in a rapidly changing worldwide marketplace?
To be honest, you don’t have to change much at all, yet still experience the rewards of an outsourcing arrangement.
Outsourcing can be such a rich and rewarding opportunity for any business. The exposure and involvement with another entity be it a company or individual, can substantially reward the business owner with both experience and knowledge.
On reflection, the outsource company can also maintain and improve their organisational practices and tools.
