Newsletters Maximum Speed With Microservices ✈️ When I was a radar engineer with the RAAF in the early 90’s, I marvelled at a thing they called PAR (or Precision Approach Radar). It was unique because it allowed an air traffic controller to get an aircraft down in really bad weather, within a few inches of the runway centreline. The only visuals […] Written by Olivia Morgan October 27, 2022October 27, 2022 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked

The new kids on the block in the e-learning space are Learning Pathways and Viva […] Written by Olivia Morgan October 20, 2022October 20, 2022 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
Newsletters Hassle Free Data Migration 📂↗️☁️ Whilst working at a Water Corporation a while back, I had to migrate 250k records from Records Manager to Content Manager 9. The documents themselves were straightforward, but the transformations of the related metadata were extreme (including nested lists). I used Power Query for this and although good for understanding data quality, it was very manual […] Written by Olivia Morgan October 12, 2022October 12, 2022 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
Newsletters Switching on your digital employees A while back, I was working with a client that was implementing TechOne OneCouncil. The best part was the employee dashboard – a simple and straight forward launchpad for keeping on top of your work. It had one major limitation though in that it was really inward looking – great for TechOne apps, but not so […] Written by Olivia Morgan October 8, 2022October 8, 2022 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
The Future is Calling ☎️ Do you remember the grungy dens that were public payphones? Before the days of mobile phones, I’d have to push my way past McDonalds wrappers so I could call Mum to let her know I was going to be late for dinner.

🤖 Artificial Intelligence (AI) for coding, writing, and more! My first brush with AI was in my final year at Uni. The cool kids had snatched all of the interesting thesis topics. My friend Paul was capturing 3D data from a 2D image, similar to this – very cool. I approached one of my computer science lecturers and he said, “read this, and base […] Written by Olivia Morgan December 8, 2022December 8, 2022 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
Securing IT Systems in Freefall ✈️ Stalling an aircraft, intentionally, was never fun – but necessary to feel the effects of when you lose control. The procedure was to 1) ascend to 4000ft AGL over farmland, 2) jam the throttle control in to idle, 3) as airspeed decreases, keep pulling the stick back to raise the nose and maintain altitude, 4) […] Written by Olivia Morgan June 5, 2023June 5, 2023 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
Strengthening Security with MFA 🔍 We all have customers in some form or another and identifying them can be tricky. Mid last year ACMA brought in regulation to make it mandatory for telcos to use a second factor in verifying a customer attempting to perform a high risk transaction (for example, adding an account holder). Many telcos adopted this second […] Written by Olivia Morgan May 8, 2023May 8, 2023 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked

It’s bigger on the inside… Building a customer portal can be tricky. In the heat of the dot com bubble, I was a consultant working on the telstra.com team – Telstra’s first shot at a one-stop-shop for customers.
