More posts from our SharePoint team…

I am currently working in a consultant company offers MS solution in my home country. We split in to several groups base on our skills and experience. Each of the group will focus on certain technology such as MS CRM, Axapta, Business Intelligence, SharePoint, .net development and etc. I am in the SharePoint and .net development team. Recently, I got chance to work in MS Business intelligence like SSAS, SSRS, BSM and the latest MS Performance Point Server 2007. Hence, I seldom post much articles on SharePoint. However, I got some colleagues actively working in SharePoint and always share their problem and solution among our team. So, I plan to put these useful posts in to this blog as well. Just to share out and for my own reference too. Check out the posts soon!

* Special thanks to SC, Abi, LJ and RC who share out their problem and solution. I will put in their full name if they agree to do so 😛

Our Implementation Plan – The AJAXWorkspace Story… Part 3

Our current implementation plan includes building an online collaboration workspace, called AjaxWorkspace. It is a virtual office where user can work, communicate and collaborate with their teammates to complete a task in a centralize location. Users do not need to be physically together in order to accomplish a task. It offers a bunch of collaboration tools to help users to collaborate with each other in a secured online workspace.

Why Collaboration Important – The AJAXWorkspace Story… Part 1

I decided to write some story about AJAXWorkspace after launched my first official release in August 2007. Firstly, let me explain what is the problems occur during my daily job.  Why online collaboration is important?

In this modern era, many organizations, companies and individuals have yet to own their private collaboration space or portal to store their information in order to ease them in managing daily business activities, completing projects and organizing events. They will still depend on the traditional methods which are either via email or local file server to communicate and exchange documents.
They will have then faced the difficulties of managing the project, checking status and keeping track the progress. In addition, management personnel too will face the difficulties of knowing the inside out of the entire project. They do not have the full picture of the resource utilization and how is the progress of the project. Information seems to be invisible and appears everywhere (in mail, file server or local machine). This will result in a poor project management, high operation cost and poor resource allocation risk. If things go worst, the particular project might end up as a failure.

ASP.NET AJAX very slow in IE 6

I built some web applications with ASP.NET ajax framework using few update panel. The response time in IE 6 was very slow. You do not know this problem while you access it in you local host. Once you put it to production or live hosting, its really slow like turtle. IE 7 will be much better, so far it seems 2x faster than IE6. Firefox is the best among these browser. It work extremely fast and estimated 4-5x faster than IE 6. This is a known issue exist within IE6 and ajax update panel. There is a need to fix this issue. But it seems not a 5 mins works. I may need to do a major change on my existing application… too bad..

Online collaboration workspace tool for teamwork and project management : AJAXWorkspace

Online collaboration for teamwork and project management

I got chance to work in different type of companies in my working life. Basically it can be categorized in to 2 types; either project base or product base. However, I found that most of the project or product development is not being managed well. You can see someone is doing nothing all the time and someone is busy like hell. Manager or top management never knows exactly what the progress is. We do not really have a system to manage, assign task to worker, and keep track the progress of each individual’s task. We always end up with sending, replying email in order to communicate, and sharing files among team members. It was really a terrible experience.
