As a child I loved Lego. And when I say "as a child", I really mean "I still love Lego, but don't want to admit it". Recently a large new shopping complex opened not far from where I live, bringing with it a new Lego shop. In the centre of the shop are large perspex bins containing all the requisite parts to construct your own, bespoke "minifig" (or as non Lego fans might prefer "Lego people"). There's an hour of my life that I'm not going to get back ... Continue Reading

In the good old days, when your firm's Enterprise Portal was a "gateway to the world," the thinking was that you needed to standardize on one single Portal platform, and perhaps even on single enterprise portal instance.
However, as we all know, that's not really very practical (both for technical and organizational reasons), and multiple portal platforms have always proliferated within organizations ... Continue Reading

About a year back, when Apache Rave was announced, I had mentioned in my blog that It will be a while before Rave reaches a stage where customers can actually benefit from it. Now Rave has graduated to become an Apache top-level project. That itself is an achievement and congratulations are in order to the team supporting Rave. But is Rave anywhere closer to realizing its promise, and is it good enough today for you to consider it seriously for your Portal? ... Continue Reading

A confluence of trends is elevating the concept of the "Digital Workplace." Much of the current discussion has centered around what a digital workplace mean for traditional intranets, emerging social collaboration spaces, and aging transactional systems.
Those are important topics, but I think an even bigger to-do for enterprises is to bring the right skill sets to bear. One key skill set to engage here is enterprise architecture ... Continue Reading

I enjoyed an excellent day in Oxford last week speaking (and listening to the other speakers) at a CMS Expert Group round table event.
