Time management is the key to efficiency and effectiveness in both at work and personal life. Especially at work when you get hundreds of emails everyday and calendar painted with meetings, what do you do? Do you just neglect few emails or do you skip meetings? There is no quick-fix solution. I have been trying to search for some answer or sometimes came up with my own idea of organizing things but it never worked well. Then, I started researching on this topic to get the feedback from the people who work in this domain. I found this post from Outlook team itself, which recommend best practices and how to organize you Outlook, which is the epicenter of your daily activity in office. It talks about emails, categorization, calendar, tasks, sub-folders and what not. I found this post very helpful and copied most of the recommended configuration as it is. Now I'm in process of adjusting my activity based on the post recommendation. It seems things are settling in place. Please re

Coveo is among the top search engine from Gartner's list of best Enterprise Search Engine. Coveo Cloud Platform was procured to be the search engine for Salesforce platform on which Coveo works out-of-the-box. Coveo provides a whole list of connectors and costs additional amount based on number and type of connectors. If you see the list of connector, it covers many of the modern Cloud and On-Premise applications. There is also a list of generic connector which would be used to connect the applications which are less-known or legacy in nature. These would be Database, Desktop, File, LDAP, etc. At a first glance it seemed like any source application could be crawled by Coveo. But there are limitation, just like any other product, around its technical capability and hopefully those would be resolve in releases. In this scenario applications are deployed in standard layers of firewall. Security and SSO is provisioned through OKTA . The problem occurred that none of the cr

Undoubtedly MEGA is one of the best Enterprise Architecture Modeling tool available in the market, but it does have its limitations, which I would like to discuss here. You want to make sure what you want and based on that you should procure relevant bundle of services from MEGA, rather than buying an incomplete package, which will leave your Tool unused and unsatisfied. Your decision will also cause a miss or hit to the overall overarching Enterprise Architecture Practice Goal. This will also influence the number of resources and time in order to create any artifact. Out of many key decisions for a sustainable Enterprise Architecture Practice, this will be one. Before jumping on to the conclusion, I would like to provide some context to my review because everyone's perspective is different. I have been architecting for more than 8 years and have around 4 years working experience in MEGA, both as an End User of MEGA as well as an Administrator of MEGA. In my Architecture work,
Drawing & Diagraming Tools for Mac draw.io This is the tool I have started using recently. I was looking for a free web based solution and this one works good for me as of now.

When installing Inkscape, you want to make sure XQuartz will also needs to be installed. Please read the installation process carefully. Paint 2 I got this tool from Apple App Store for about $5. I needed something urgently for my wife to work on some wireframe and diagraming. After a quick evaluation for about 30 min, I bought this tool. Till now, it has been doing its job. This is not being used for tones of paint functionality, but limited to editing the wireframes, screenshots, etc what was being done through MSPaint in windows. $5 not a big deal, even if we have to trash it tomorrow.
