Its been quite a while since i wrote my blog posts. My last entry was in April 2007. Many things have happened since then and one of the prime reasons why i couldn't blog as much as i want to is my role has changed of late and my focus is more on project management and presales. Most of the time, i am very busy going for meetings, working at the deliverables of the meeting, project management - guiding the team as to how the end deliverables would like and attending project related meetings. Apart from that, working on the proposals for new projects. Given the project is live now with just one more site to be signed off, i am back to my presales activity again.
Well, the project which i was working is a dealers portal based on IBM Websphere Portal 6.0 and Websphere Portlet Factory. We built 2 virtual portals for the dealers and the other one is for Intranet users. I will write down the details a bit later, and now i have few other important things to convey.
First is the Lotus Symphony v1.0 available FOC (free of cost). Symphony 1.0 is definitely much better looking than the other beta. I have downloaded and started to use Presentations which is pretty nice looking with the thumbnail views. Though i am preparing in Symphony, i still save it as a PPT file for MS compatibility cos the same file i can send to other colleagues who are using MS Office. I am spreading this word about Symphony internally in my office and i will have to notify to my senior management about this.
Ok for all of you who are using MS Office, see the alternative Lotus Symphony which is FOC. You will take sometime to learn but i am sure anyone can learn that.
