When moving from Windows to *ANY* platform, the cost is going to be higher. Basically, it puts the idea that the property *COULD* increase in value completely out of the equation. If I were to move from one area to another, I could simply argue that I might as well stay in the same house because I would have to pay for stuff to be packaged up, trucked to the new house and then unpacked. For the forum, all one needs is a database, say Posgres, PhP and Phorum.Ģ) People put too much emphasis on “initial cost”. Both of these are provided by mature software already available. Most people I know, who have deployed Sharepoint have simply used one or two of the most basic functions, namely, the discussion forum and instant messaging. Nobody can tell when the amends have been made and which are the latest.ġ - Get Filemaker Pro 7 to send an email to the user telling them that this record needs action?Ģ - Flag up the on the database that a certain record needs attention? ie change the text colour when an amend has been added and allow the user to change it back once corrected.ģ - Have Filemaker Pro 7 scan an email account which I send amends to with the record reference - it then imports the text into relevant fields and sends an email to the relevant user to alert them of a change.Ĥ - Amends are pdf based and attached to a container can I create a button to launch the pdf in Acrobat so I can check it, then another button to attach the pdf to an email and send it to the client.ĥ - Can I track all these amends so I have a log at then end of the job.Ħ - Could I set up an on line web site so the client can directly see the most updated pdf amend and input amends into which then get sent direct to the Filemaker database.ħ - Can I create a button to make me a cup of tea at 3.Interesting article, however, the first quesiton I wish to ask is this What server application is missing that is available on Windows but not on Linux?ġ) The article talks about a so-called “integrated approach”, could some one explain to me the real benefits of integration between Office and Sharepoint? are there any real world examples out there where real data can be pointed to as proof that such a model improves efficiency? Hundreds of amends come in over emails,faxes & phone and content changes 3-4 times in a very short time period.

All amends I manually copy into the relevant field.įor initially creating the artwork this works great. I have a record created for each artwork with fields created for the: user, artwork code, size, amends and so on. My Design Studio database (macOSX) I created to manage amends to over 300+ items or artwork betwen five users.
