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
Newsletters Personalised Employee Learning Have you ever had to roll out a new system and not had the training material ready? Good training material takes time, particularly if you need to cut it from scratch. Well life on the e-learning plains is getting easier. 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
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. I was working for Accenture at the time as a Manager in the UAT team. It was a goliath of a project, […] Written by Olivia Morgan February 13, 2023February 13, 2023 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
Low Cost eLearning 📝 Learning in my uni years was fun and not because of the lecturers or the material, but more so of the antics we got up to. Engineers with too much idle time and all that. In an auditorium full of people, a group from up the back launched a massive paper plane (I reckon 5ft […] Written by Olivia Morgan February 1, 2023February 1, 2023 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.

Office 365 backup and archive have landed In the beginning, there were no backup solutions for Office 365. I mean, there were some limited recovery options. Microsoft now has a retention and recovery function that is good for up to 30 days for Exchange Online. SharePoint fairs a little better with a 93-day retention period after deletion (exc hard deletes), and the […] Written by Olivia Morgan February 8, 2024February 8, 2024 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
Simplify IT security with zero trust 🚫 My first job out of uni was as an Electronic Systems Engineer in the RAAF designing solid state replacements for SURAD, the ATC radar of the day.

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
