I love air conditioning systems but they once again seem to have given me cold so I am sneezing and coughing all the time and use aspirin (Alvedon in Swedish) to get along. It is a bit sad since I just love being here at the conference. Another reflection is that conferences like this involves a lot of walking. These ...Read More

EMC World 2008 Day 1 Part One

Posted on 2008/05/20 by alexandra

The conference has started and I was up early to go to the first seminar which was called Effective Classification - From data to information but it was mainly focused around EMCs storage products and low level classification and metadata management. More or less nothing about Documentum during the first 20 minutes so I got bored and went over to ...Read More

Multiple perspectives on stored content, please!

Posted on 2008/04/16 by alexandra

I just read a post about the need for taxonomies at Chuck's blog and I found a need to discuss how I view taxonomies and why they still seem relevant to me. From my experience there are no silver-bullets and the most important thing to respect is the need for multiplicity and multiple perspectives on things. In this case I ...Read More

Data-deduplication is so cool!

Posted on 2008/03/21 by alexandra

I just read a blog post by Chuck Hollis at EMC about data deduplication and remembered how important that is to an EMC-platform. However, to me it is not just a way to improve or optimize storage, it is a critical part of any information architecture. Data deduplication should be a core feature in platforms such as EMC Documentum which ...Read More

Figuring out the collaboration tools in our intranet toolbox

Posted on 2008/03/17 by alexandra

I see myself as a translator between people speaking military and information technology languages. These two groups come from different worlds and have very different views of the world. The military people likes to speak about requirements from a very abstract standpoint and think the details should be worked out by someone else. They rarely have any knowledge of what ...Read More

About visibility when working among men

Posted on 2008/03/10 by alexandra

Today the Swedish site IT-tjej (IT-girl) has been launched here in Sweden and I found a lot of interesting articles that made me think. Those of who know me know that I am not especially fond of Microsoft but the article featuring their female IT-evangelist Maria Lundahl was really intersting for me. She said that she enjoy the visibility she ...Read More

An interesting meeting in Gothenburg

Posted on 2008/03/07 by alexandra

The possibilities of the Internet never stops to amaze me. There is a real shift in the way we people interact and get together nowadays. As many of you know I am an avid internet user and I follow around 50 blogs or so using the RSS feature in Safari. Mainly I read blogs in three categories: personal/LGBT-blogs, Mac-related blogs ...Read More

Microsoft buys FAST Search & Transfer

Posted on 2008/01/15 by alexandra

I must confess I was not happy to read this news. Microsoft apparently decided that their own Enterprise Search products was not good enough so once again they decided to go on a shopping spree. The norwegian company FAST who makes a very capable search platform was the target this time. FAST is currently one of the big players in ...Read More
