Must-have features for an email filing solution

This is my site Written by James Allchin on May 19, 2010 – 12:57

We’re confident that we have email filing features that blow customers minds. We’re also heavily geared up to dealing with the kinds of volumes of emails that lawyers deal with on a daily basis. This is no easy task. But with our background in the legal sector working for magic circle law firms we’re confident we’ve gone a long way to solving this.
This got me thinking so I decided to come up with a list of “must-haves” that need to be included in an email filing solution for it to be successful in a high-volume email environment like the legal [...]

Putting things in context

This is my site Written by Elizabeth Fiennes on May 7, 2010 – 14:09

Putting things in context
T: “Lizzzzzzz, what do ye mean by context?” (I ignore the question as I become automatically deaf to people calling me Liz)
T: “Oy!!, bird in red sitting beside MY fireside drinking MY tea, context, what’s that?”.
T is a best bestie mate from the homeland was reading the KnowledgeMill website as our sons lay belly down on his huge living room rug making up the rules of draughts as they went along.
‘What is context’ is one of those questions like ‘what is algebra’. The concept is simple enough but the application of that simple concept can get very [...]

Baby software

This is my site Written by Elizabeth Fiennes on March 20, 2010 – 12:19

This is a post born out of the fact I had been musing on the sheer amount of friends, relations and ex-colleagues having babies lately. I work as a software tester so am in the habit of creating tenuous links where no sane person would see one existing. Please bear with me.
 
It occurred to me during this musing that babies are quite like software.
 
Think about the planning for a prospective project. Ideally the planning for a software development project should always be done during the time that the developers are writing the code, so that once the first iteration of development is completed, the next [...]

What a software tester really does

This is my site Written by Elizabeth Fiennes on February 22, 2010 – 15:36

I’ve already told you how I described to my Mother, who specialises in growing prize-roses, what I do. This post is about how I describe my role to other people in IT.
The best way that I can do this is in general terms using the sequence of events in a typical software development lifecycle. I hope you enjoy my account and cannot relate to it too much in your everyday working life.
The role of a tester is to identify what is wrong, analyse the impact and flag that issue to be fixed. However, sometimes the problem is not something that is [...]

I test therefore I log bugs

This is my site Written by Elizabeth Fiennes on January 29, 2010 – 15:53

I’m Elizabeth and I am the KnowledgeMill tester.
This is a role easily understood by those who know and appreciate what a tester does. Most people do not understand what a tester does and everyone else does not appreciate what a tester does.
My son J (aged 7) recently filled in a survey from school about the jobs his immediate family did, so he put down:
Uncle B: Makes iPods
Uncle H: Makes money
Uncle O: Is taking a break from work (I said he was an unemployed bum but in a rare fit of diplomacy, perhaps brought on my fear of his teacher, J [...]

Is Your Email Archiving & Email Filing Platform Cloud Compatible?

This is my site Written by James Allchin on January 20, 2010 – 20:22

Just when you thought you couldn’t take the pain of reading another blog entry around cloud computing, here comes another one. Please bear with it – I promise it’s not the same as the rest – and could hopefully save you a few pennies by avoiding a costly mistake.
Many companies are considering a move to a cloud-based service (or in reality a hosted-service) for their messaging platforms. For those companies with the correct risk profile this can make a lot of sense. It can significantly reduce cost and for a lot of organizations, particularly smaller ones with limited in-house IT, [...]

KnowledgeMill Code Camp ‘09 in Rock, Cornwall

This is my site Written by James Allchin on December 15, 2009 – 12:11

We’re half way through the KnowledgeMill code camp for this year. An annual event that sees us take the development and testing teams off-site for 3 days in order to get away from it all, think of wacky innovative ideas that we can deliver into the product suite. This year we’re down in Rock in Cornwall. It’s off-season down here – but it’s an amazing place to be. The weather has been fantastic and the monstrous house we’ve hired is pretty spectacular with a huge terrace overlooking the Camel Estuary.
This year we’re focussing on some awesome document management features [...]
