  17. If I were to ask the following how would it be addressed? As an end user or HOD or staff, or project team member I do a million and one things and I have a million and one cases, situations, scenarios etc and currently I am operating in a particular way, doing things in a certain way, checking and verifying things in a certain way, making enquiries and generating reports in a certain way, responding to people in a certain way, and interacting with people, processes, functions , features in the systems in a certain way. Question: How will the new system (after the software solutions have been signed off from day zero or day one of the implementation when the ā€Vendorsā€, ā€Consultantsā€ walk in, come on the table and start their work) impact how I do things? How differently will I do things in the new system? How and where will I find my old data and information on the new system? How will I do things differently right at the wire level - at the level of every mouse click, keystroke, pen tick..? There are inevitably a million and one nuances and questions the end user would have. Training is one thing but how one uses the system in everyday situations is quite another. UAT, although very important, does not address the above concerns. It's like forcing a square peg in a round hole. How is the above answered then? Who answers it (the end user (go figure), the HOD, the Vendor, the Consultants..)? When is it answered - at product selection phase, or at implementation phase after sign-off? Or is it that if the Digital Transformation project is sound the above gets resolved well before the start up or live date? These are some of the questions and concerns I'd had in the past.

  34. As a non-technical individual involved in transitioning a small organization to cloud-based solutions, I'd like to offer my perspective based on my own experience without divulging into details. In my case, opting for cloud-based solutions proved to be more cost-effective compared to on-premise alternatives. My strategic approach focused on leveraging the cloud to enhance efficiency, compliance, and accessibility while minimizing risk and ensuring business continuity. By migrating the operations to the cloud, we avoided substantial upfront investments in hardware, software licenses, infrastructure setup, managed IT services and ongoing maintenance that would have been required for on-premise systems. Furthermore, the inherent advantages of cloud computing, such as seamless collaboration, concurrent and anytime, anywhere access, and reduced reliance on physical infrastructure, contributed to cost savings and operational efficiencies. When comparing the cloud and on-premise systems I found that the benefits and cost savings in the former outweighed in the latter. Of course, I recognized certain trade-offs, such as the loss of ownership of software and databases, the inability to be in control and maintain native backups, and the loss of other capabilities, such as maintaining live, test, and production databases as would be possible in an ERP environment. While cloud was the best fit and most cost-effective option for this organization, it's possible that as it grows and needs evolve, the equation may change in future.

  72. Just sharing something sightly different but weird. It could happen to anyone. I received an email in my Hotmail. Opened it up in my Outlook for Mobile on my Android. Quickly replied and hit send. Apparently there was no internet yet mobile data and wifi were on. It was that wifi was very poor. I refreshed many times. However the email did not go or appear as sent. It was not appearing in any other folders either. I quickly went to my PC and opened up the email client. I refreshed several times. Only the incoming email appeared in the inbox. No email appeared in Sent items and no outgoing email stuck in outbox either. However weirdly the email appeared as half composed in the sent folder on the email client on the PC. I then deleted that half composed email from the sent folder that appeared as sent to the recipients. I then quickly disconnected the phone from mobile data and WiFi. I even uninstalled Mobile Outlook on my phone to prevent it from sending out the missing email reply. I then composed another reply and sent the email from the PC. This email was sent successfully and appeared in the sent folder. Shortly afterwards, the original email from the Mobile that had disappeared mysteriously also appeared in the sent folder a minute later in the email client on the PC. It was very embarrassing to have Outlook/Hotmail to have sent out two email replies with slightly different messages to the recipients. Outlook Mobile does not even have an Outbox. I hate Outlook Mobile! BTW email client I use is eM Client.
