  • Mumba Cloud gets down to business with Enterprise Social Hub

    The Happy Accident, which is often cited as a principal ROI of enterprise social networks, refers to the chance discovery of the right person or the right piece of enterprise knowledge to solve a business or process challenge. For instance,  Bruce in Melbourne, dealing with a corporate crisis,  fires off an anxious  Yammer/Jive/Tibbr post at 6.00pm in the evening Sydney time, before heading off to a nervous sleep. Meanwhile, as Bruce slumbers fitfully, at 3.00am the following morning Colleen logs in from Dublin and comes across the post and immediately fires back with the critical data. Bruce did not know Colleen was the one to turn to, nor even how to find here, it was all a Happy Accident. Enterprise Social wins again!

Over the years doctors developed their own specialised languages and lexicons to help them store and communicate general medical knowledge and patient-related information efficiently. The promise of a global standard for Electronic Health Care Records is still years away.

  • Are SharePoint BLOBs dragging you down?

    I might be a little old fashioned, but I came up through an Electronic Content Management (ECM) and Transaction Content Management (TCM) community where you never put BLOBs directly in your database. By BLOBs, I am referring to Binary Large Objects (not the 1988 thriller movie) which are chunks of images or other large data stored as a single object. I was taught that the database should hold pointers to BLOB content stored on another inexpensive storage system like SAN or NAS drives. However, when I entered the world of SharePoint, I realised that everyone was storing BLOBs in their databases.

  • Does this data have business value? I don’t care!

    Anyone who's had the responsibility to manage an end-user centred system has heard this refrain when asking people to get rid of old emails, documents, files, voice mail recordings, pictures, or any other electronically stored information (ESI). "I need it to do my job" or "It has business value and I need to save it".
