Happy New Year to all my reader(s). Well, here we are, already up to our armpits in 2010. Some of us used the holiday period to catch up on all the lovely things we wanted to do in 2009 but for which we didn’t have the free time. Some of our customers however didn’t realise it was a holiday and we actually took a support query at 8pm on new year’s eve! That is dedication that I find both inspiring and depressing in equal measure.
Anyway, my team and I did spend some of the quiet time optimising the code in our 2.6 product, in particular for remote / WAN access and we managed to achieve some staggering performance improvements. We reduced the login time by about 50% and we more than halved the time to open a document. The system user can now open a 1000 page document in just a few seconds. So it was a productive holiday!!
The Silverlight Document Manager product is pretty much there, our new Tech Author has just completed the 2.6 documentation so he now knows all there is to know about document management software (I hope) and can get started on the Silverlight documentation. The installer is nearing completion so we can deploy some more Silverlight Beta sites in January so everything is looking promising for a good 2010.
My very exciting new year’s resolution, or at least the one I can tell you about on here, is to keep this blog up to date. I know a growing number of you rely on it as a reference point for Document Manager development progress and milestones. So watch this space. And hound me if I haven’t said anything interesting to you for a few days.
