It's quite difficult, as many of you probably know first hand, to keep track of all the various platforms, vendors, and open source projects in the social computing and enterprise collaboration space. Like content management systems, social software platforms seem to just keep multiplying rather than consolidating. + Read more

Noch nie waren Open Source-Technologien so einfach verfügbar, reif und relevant wie heute. Für viele Unternehmen ist Open Source heute ein nicht wegzudenkender Teil der Informatikwelt, da vergisst man schnell, dass der Begriff „Open Source“ vor 10 Jahren gerade erst erfunden wurde. + Read more

SUN T2000/T5000 and Alfresco - not a good combination
Veröffentlicht 01 Oct 2008 von Optaros Tags: Alfresco, ECM, Enterprise 2.0, Enterprise solutions, Performance, Recommendations

A recent analysis reports that several Alfresco installations have had performance issues using SUN T2000 infrastructure environment. The conclusion and recommendation of this analysis is to use UltraSPARC Vx, Intel or AMD processors infrastructure instead. T2000 and T5000 are from the same family. The T2000 has been designed for being highly performant in the treatment of parallel tasks but its processor (UltraSPARC T1) is very slow, especially for treating sequential tasks. + Read more

One danger of reviewing a book is the reality that the reviews ultimately say more about the reviewer, and the book he or she wishes had been written, than they do about the book which actually was written. It's in that context that I offer this review of Groundswell: Winning in a World Transformed by Social Technology, by Forrester Research analysts Charlene Li and Josh Bernoff, published by Harvard Business Press (note: disclaimers at the end of the post). + Read more

Wenn man sich aktuelle Versicherungs-Webseiten anschaut, erstaunt immer wieder, wie wenig sich diese Seiten in den letzten fünf Jahren verändert haben. Es scheint, dass in vielen Fällen nachwievor dieselben traditionellen Paradigmen verfolgt werden. Neue Technologien und neue Dialog-Ansätze werden nur zögerlich, wenn überhaupt angewendet. Es scheint, dass Web 2.0 noch nicht bis zu den Versicherungen durchgedrungen ist. trotz grosser Vorteile für die Benutzer und Erweiterungen der Dialogmöglichkeiten für die Versicherung. + Read more

Veröffentlicht 15 Jul 2008 von Optaros Tags: Ajax, Alfresco, Content Management, DoCASU, Enterprise 2.0, Enterprise solutions, Knowledge Management, Open Source, REST, User Experience, User-Centered Design, Web 2.0, Web Scripts

Open Source software has many advantages compared to proprietary alternatives. The fact that the source code is open might often not even be the most relevant benefit. The ability to access functions and componentized services through open APIs (application programming interfaces) allows to focus development efforts on what is most important for the usage of the application – the user interface – for example. + Read more

Fixed the Alfresco-Ringside File Upload Problem
Veröffentlicht 04 Jun 2008 von Jeff PottsTags: Alfresco, Content Management, ECM, Enterprise 2.0, Facebook, Ringside Networks

I've been playing with Ringside's Social Application Server. In my initial post on the subject I mentioned I was having trouble with the file upload. I got that put to bed this evening. As it turns out, Facebook inserts some hidden fields into form tags (see doc) such as the Facebook user, API key, session key, and app ID. Ringside doesn't insert those fields. + Read more
