Office for Harmonization in the Internal Market INSITE - OHIM Intranet I took on a role here as a contractor within the Communications Service, which was then called Internal/External Relations Department. The initial tasks I undertook were to develop, maintain and support the Office’s Intranet, and Corporate website portal, but there were many other tasks. In 2008 a decision was made to build a new Intranet for the office, and I was assigned as the key Senior Software Developer for the project. Following some prototype testing, we decided that Joomla 1.5 was the best technology to use for the build. Due to the architecture of Joomla technology, there were a number of components, modules and plugins needed to be tested. Here are some examples (there are many others!!) of extensions used:
The new OAMI Intranet built on Joomla technology was launched at the start of 2009, and I continue to develop, support and configure it, releasing new components and supporting/training users. I also had the opportunity to use Joomla technology for other OAMI projects such as TM Officials Forum etc. This role has given me the opportunity to gain 4 years experience as a Senior Joomla Developer and working overseas for a European Institution, under contract, for a long period of time. The contract was initially for 6 months but has been extended 8 times. . Software: Joomla, PHP, PhpMyAdmin, MySQL, XAMPP Server, WAMP Server, Javascript, MS Access, Classic ASP, HTML, CSS, and Adobe Photoshop CS |

NEC Technologies Ltd IntraNEC - NEC Technologies Intranet Employed as a contractor my initial task was to develop, maintain and manage the European Group Global Intranet. The group consists of three European divisions, the UK, France and Portugal. The contract was initially for 6 months but has been extended 3 times with 6-month periods. I managed to persuade the management to let me build a SQL Server database, that would sit behind the web application and store data on employees, projects expense codes, budgets etc. The role has been very rewarding for me as I have been able to apply new technologies namely ‘Wiki’ to the intranet development. Using this Content Management Tool users were able to update content easily. Any data would be stored in the SQL Server data store. Software: ASP, SQL Server, Javascript, Crystal Reports |

Red Hot Chilli Ltd chillibase - redhotchilli intranet The aim of chillibase was
to have a central area to store and organise information, manage
documents, share calendars and enable efficient management of
existing projects. Written in ASP and SQL Server it allowed
Project Managers to fully specify manage their projects. The
system boosted a Timesheet Scheduling facility which meant that
all employees would have to book all their time against a
project. This meant that projects could be well managed and
costed. The project involved all stages of analysis, design,
specification, implementation, testing, training and support. |
