Intergen has experienced substantial growth over the past few years. Like any growing business, Intergen depends on its internal systems to support, and provide a platform for, our growth strategy. With more than 200 staff across New Zealand and Australia, recently it has been necessary for us to make significant investments in our core business systems.

Matt Tulloch What do you do? As the General Manager of Dunedin I’m involved in a wide range of activities – project management, business development, office management and more. We’re currently growing the team, and have recently located to bigger and better premises.

How do you make a difference? Since starting with Intergen in March, I’ve introduced a test-driven development process and, as a result, automated unit testing. I believe in continuous improvement, and often say “continuous improvement is better than postponed perfection.”

What do you love about your job? I love the challenge of my role. The ‘general’ in General Manager is very accurate; you end up doing a range of things, which gives me the variety I crave.

A bit about yourself… I was born and bred in Dunedin, but spent most of my working career away. I started out as a RPG II and Progress developer in Dunedin in 1991, having completed a Bachelor of Commerce at Otago. Later, I worked as a Progress contractor in the UK, returning to New Zealand in development, leadership and project management roles. In my spare time I love to spend time with my family and friends, and enjoy Central Otago – the best place on earth.

Beyond Usability picking the UX trends This year we’ve had the luxury of touring a UX (User Experience) Intergen Twilight seminar nationally and, as with any road show, this gave us the ability to shape and improve the seminar content as we went, based on attendee feedback from each event. By the time the final seminar was delivered in Christchurch, it was clear there are two really hot topics for UX practitioners and specifiers right now. 1) Is usability enough? This year’s highly influential Avenue A Razorfish: 2008 Digital Outlook Report delivered a wealth of brainfood, however there was one statement that really resonated: “Usability – once fetishised – is now merely the price of entry.” The significance of this was not lost on us or seminar attendees. This is fairly dramatic stuff considering the effort and emphasis going into usability practice in New Zealand web circles at this time. It does however reinforce usability guru Peter Morville’s useful contention that UX design has to move beyond the increasing ubiquity of “usability” as an allusable desirable encompassing synonym for quality, rather than valuable being a useful definition or criterion.

Second, this model supports a modular approach to web design. Let's say you want to improve your site but lack the budget, time, or stomach for a complete overhaul. Why not try a targeted redesign, perhaps starting with evaluating and enhancing the credibility of your website? 2) Does the homepage still matter? Only a few years ago a website’s homepage was widely regarded as the most valuable square foot of real estate an organisation owned. Not so today. Search, Search, social networks, blogs and RSS are driving users deep into our sites. Now, the majority of users bypass a site’s homepage completely. According to Razorfish research, the top US sites see 50-75% of their traffic originate somewhere other than the homepage. And for some sites, that’s on the conservative side. Significantly, the report also notes: 56% of consumers use RSS feeds, and 70% or more use search engines or portals to initiate their web experiences.

accessible

At www.findability.org, Peter proposes a new, more inclusive take on usability, which he has credible dubbed the UX Honeycomb. With it he attempts to tease out each facet or quality of the user experience. There are two obvious applications for Morville’s honeycomb: first, it's a great tool for advancing the conversation beyond information architecture and usability, and it also helps people understand the need to define priorities. For example: •Is it more important for your website to be desirable or accessible? •And how usable or credible should your website be? The truth is, it depends on your unique balance of context, content and users, and the required tradeoffs are better made explicitly.

Given the implicit paradigm shift in site visitor origination, these statistics are unavoidably changing the way we approach both home and content page design and Intergen’s UX design processes will continually evolve to reflect such changes in user behaviour.

Need to empower developers worldwide on SharePoint – who you going call? Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 (better known as MOSS) is the fastest selling Microsoft server product ever, selling over 100 million licenses worldwide last year. Down Under the demand for SharePoint is no different, except we have the talent to deliver it! So much talent, in fact, that the SharePoint product team in Redmond turned to Intergen to write them a user guide with accompanying tutorials. While MOSS has been available for over 18 months, the developer tools integrated into Visual Studio have been a little slower to come to the boil. But when these tools reached maturity in early 2008, Microsoft wanted to create a wave of SharePoint

create this wave, they knew they would need a great user guide and some well written tutorials to empower developers to pickup SharePoint running, fast. Who you going to call?

I also enjoy new challenges and coming up with solutions that meet or exceed clients’ expectations.

The first call was for a user guide for the Visual Studio Extensions for Windows SharePoint Services. These extensions enable developers to create SharePoint templates and components within Visual Studio and automatically deploy them into SharePoint.

PORTAL

The user guide, written by Intergen, SEARCH CONTENT included walkthroughs, outlines of MANAGEMENT best practices and seven sample projects covering the many SharePoint templates and components. The user guide has been so widely adopted that it has been translated into Japanese, so if a developer is working with SharePoint anywhere around the world there is a good chance they’re learning from us. The next call was to build a collection of tutorials (Hands on Labs, in geek talk) targeted at developers who already know Microsoft .NET but need to get into SharePoint. Collaborating (using SharePoint, of course) across the country and in consultation with the specialists from Microsoft Corporation in the United States, seven Intergen MOSS specialists were tasked with creating five ‘Hands on Labs,’ covering web parts, data lists, page navigation, page branding and web services. Each lab is made up of a manual and sample code and is hosted on virtual machines that anyone in the world can access – see www.mssharepointdeveloper.com.

A bit about yourself… I moved to Christchurch with my family in 1996 from Egypt. I graduated from Canterbury University with a Bachelor of Science majoring in Computer Science. In 2005, I moved to Auckland to start my career in IT. Prior to Intergen, I worked at UCMS Solutions for two years as a Technical Consultant, configuring and developing CRM and contact centre solutions. In my spare time I enjoy listening to music, watching movies and spending time with friends and family.

In recent months we’ve been called on to run (and re-run) a number of packed MOSS Twilight seminars around the country, and interest has been staggering from both prospective and existing SharePoint clients. If you’d like to ask us a question about SharePoint, or would like information about joining a community user group, we’re just a call away (or email). Email [email protected].

Software + Services – a major undertaking by Microsoft and something that fits well with Intergen’s capabilities.

Sponsored by Microsoft New Zealand and New Zealand Trade and Enterprise, the ‘New Zealand Innovation’ stand showcased the offerings of five New Zealand software companies, including ActionThis, with the goals of raising awareness of New Zealand software and creating new partnership opportunities. The key to this event is its scale – with more than 10,000 attendees, the odds of locating good partners are significantly improved, particularly for those companies who embrace Microsoft’s software and platforms. Unlike other technical Microsoft events such as Tech. Ed, the WPC is focused on the business-oriented partner community. Attendees are Microsoft partners typically seeking partnerships with other companies – effectively pre-qualifying stand visitors for any partnering discussions that may occur. Market size and product margins are topics more likely to be discussed than application development and service pack deployment. Business opportunities are what everyone is seeking.

more than one occasion I left a keynote dazed and a little confused. This was certainly not the case in Houston. The WPC has grown and developed to a point where it delivers real value for partners who engage with Microsoft. The messages from the keynotes were clear and while there was still a degree of gloss it was more relevant to our needs.

WPC for me is about four key areas, all of which delivered:

• Keynotes – the opportunity to hear directly from the Microsoft execs on their vision and directions. • Expo – a chance to meet with organisations we already work with as well as potential new partners. Requires serious time and comfortable shoes. • Breakouts/streams – the ability to “deep dive” (from a sales and marketing perspective) into Microsoft activities and product directions. • Networking – a major aspect and focus. There is where you get to meet other partners and gain insights into their markets, businesses and the challenges they face. An important aspect that needs serious attention and usually requires time “out of hours.”

ActionThis promoted two products at the event and was able to talk to a range because there were a number of other software companies and technology providers at the event, opportunities surrounding application integration and technology partnering were also discussed. The four companies sharing the New Zealand stand experienced similar results, ensuring the event was a success for all involved, and laying the foundation for a repeat presence at next year’s event.

Called the Runtime Page Optimizer (RPO), the product is a software component that significantly improves the performance of websites that use ASP.NET, with support for both Microsoft SharePoint and EPiServer. The RPO optimises web pages to deliver significant speed increases with no extra development or operations effort. The product uses a patent-pending process for combining images, scripts and style sheets at runtime, when a page is accessed from the web server. Web pages are optimised to ensure web browsers make fewer requests. The result: significantly faster page load times. Caching and compression techniques are also employed, further reducing data traffic costs and speeding up page load times. Sites using RPO have improved performance by as much as 400%, particularly when accessing a New Zealand-hosted site from overseas.

>> INTERGENITE: Sally Jansen van Vuuren What do you do?

2008 heralds an exciting new journey for Intergen as it evolves to offer management consultancy services… with Knowledge Management the first item on the menu.

Where does it come from and where is it going?

What does Knowledge Management really mean?

We predict that while the term KM may be replaced with something less

The term KM was first coined in 1995 and evolved from the impact of global economic changes as well as continually emerging technological opportunities. KM has faced some key challenges, but has survived to grow as both an important business approach and thriving academic discipline.

I am Intergen’s Principal Management Consultant. My focus is to create leading edge knowledge management programmes for organisations; and be part of growing Intergen’s management consultancy services from the ground up.

How do I make a difference? KM is not a business tool, not an IT system and not a fad – it is a systematic approach to business designed to meet the challenges of the continually changing world in which today’s organisations operate. Siloed approaches to problem solving are no longer popular. Incorporating KM into your business lets you focus on all its aspects, from people and culture through to processes and technology.

pretentious, the concept will continue to thrive and become further embedded in the organisational psyche. Our approach We have some fundamental principles that drive the way we think about organisations. Firstly, it’s all about you – by building knowledge partnerships we ensure that when a project ends, our expertise remains with you,

What is the single unique and inimitable asset that has the ability to set you apart from all other organisations? Simple, it’s knowledge. Knowledge is embedded in everyday processes and practices, in the systems and technology that support your organisation, the skills and experience of staff, decision making processes and much more. In short, knowledge is an organisation’s most strategic asset.

embedded in your staff, systems and processes. We also believe that every business is unique … so KM at Intergen comes in a range of flavours to suit your individual appetite – we won’t be prescribing one size fits all solutions. We use a blend of contemporary tools and techniques to work with you from initial capability assessments through to strategy development and implementation.

There has been a lot of hype and misinformation about Knowledge Management and its benefits. Let us be clear – any organisation that wants to:

I have both strong practical and academic experience in KM. I am active within the New Zealand knowledge management community and have several published papers. Most importantly, KM is multidisciplinary and needs understanding from a range of perspectives from organisational development through to IT – so it fits my background perfectly.

What do I love about my job? The challenge and opportunity of working with individuals and organisations who strive to be the best.

A bit about yourself… I am a Pom, married to a South African, living in New Zealand – and I love it. I have degrees in IT and Commerce and look forward to becoming Dr Jansen van Vuuren later this year. Before joining Intergen I led Crown Law’s knowledge management programme.

Hyper-V propels hosting to the extreme edge MedRecruit likes to seize any opportunity to be at the cutting edge. When

New Zealand’s leading solution for greenhouse emissions measurement is taking its expertise to the world. carboNZero offers a unique internet-based greenhouse gas inventory tool, E-Manage, which enables emissions to be calculated and managed by an organisation.

Intergen began talking to MedRecruit founder, Dr Sam Hazledine, about a new breed of Microsoft infrastructure hosting that would provide a virtualised server computing environment, at a fraction of the usual hosting cost, MedRecruit liked the diagnosis. Their homegrown hosting capabilities hadn’t kept pace with their technology ambitions, so it was time to look for a solution with security and scalability.

Developed by Landcare Research, E-Manage provides an audit trail for a company to benchmark itself against ongoing performance and progress towards emissions reduction.

“We’re passionate about always looking to advance our service, and innovation in the resources we use is a huge part of that picture. It made sense for us to pursue the best hosting infrastructure. Hyper-V has clearly established a new benchmark.” Dr Sam Hazledine, Managing Director, MedRecruit.

The tool to date had done its work admirably, but had become outdated. As carboNZero emerged as a world class programme, E-Manage was limited by its isolation from its other calculators and tools and provided limited reporting. Customer self service online was also a key part of the strategy. Therefore a new platform had to be capable of delivering a secure and scalable customer-facing extranet site.

Microsoft Hyper-V is a virtualised server computing environment using technology that is part of the Microsoft Windows Server 2008 operating system. It eliminates the need for multiple physical servers, which swallow up rackspace, generate heat and come with considerable operating costs. By reducing the total cost of ownership of server infrastructure for a company, and by delivering high availability, all sitting securely behind a dedicated firewall, Hyper-V brings a lot to the market. SharePoint also provides out of the box document management, which caters for any supporting documents to be stored in readiness for audits. Intergen also enhanced the SharePoint platform with a number of other components that would provide even better business process automation, reducing the time

carboNZero Business Manager, Mike Tournier, says: “To take us forward we engaged Intergen to design the most effective and appropriate solution possible using integrated Microsoft technologies that would allow us to bring carboNZero to a diverse audience worldwide.”

requirements of carboNZero staff to perform various procedural tasks.

Microsoft SharePoint was chosen as the platform for the internal and external presentation layer and to deliver the customer-facing portals.

E-Manage now provides an unrivalled technology solution that captures quantifiable and auditable evidence, to assist organisations in taking action against carbon emissions.

It’s not just about costs, either – the virtual servers are greener, too, using less power than physical servers. The verdict? Dr Sam Hazledine says: “This is a solution that really flies.”

Two-way authentication and automated account creation between Microsoft CRM and SharePoint enables the customer to manage their own details in a secure manner. Flexibility to adjust referencing criteria was also important. As carbon emission research continually evolves, the platform needed to be able to perform calculations based on the most up to date research.

A New Zealand-bred resource has now become a resource for the world.
