The 7:30 Report

https://www.abc.net.au/7.30/stories/

We probably all know people that watch it religiously every night - whistle blowing and the Ombudsman on Manus Island etc ...

We surmise that:

1. Questionable Quality (as low relevance)
2. $$ Price is not much but
3. Can't always guarantee you have nothing else to do at 7:30! 

Thus with Video over IP:

1. Good Quality
2. Excellent Price
3. Excellent Availability

It's an indispensable source of information especially working with any Government related Organisations unless you want to go off and read the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hansard !! 

Salary Sacrificing (particularly in Government)

It's tough starting a business!

Salary Sacrificing through either through a clever Recruiter or Payroll Management company for the FBT Claims and items that are difficult to outright deduct is indispensable!

• Training
• External Courses
• Conferences
• Related flights and accommodation
• Living away from home allowances
  
• Telecommunications
• Smart phones
• Smart watches
• Home Office Expenses
• Co-working Spaces
  
• Etc ...

SharePoint - the resonant product for SME and Mid-Market

Pitched at the right level for these organisation sizes!

As this demonstration of resonance shows:

Youtube Premium - great for Businesses ~ for Consumers not so sure!

https://www.youtube.com/premium
~
if anyone has ever tried watching work videos - definitely worth it
that's when you also need nice fast un-congested Fibre connection - not an ADLs+ connection shared with 20 other people ~ so you can skip around more!

I am not sure how successful this product is if you are using Youtube for entertainment - personally I prefer then just to wait for the advertisements!

Enterprise Search (against) Skype for Business

As we all know Skype for Business is not listed as a SharePoint Content Source as such:

In addition to the most common Online scenario which is eDiscovery running against Skype for Business conversations
(eDiscovery of course uses SharePoint Search):
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/compliance/ediscovery?view=o365-worldwide

Don't forget you can also:

1. Use Skype for Business archiving to archive conversations to SQL Server
2. Use SQL Server as a Content Source for your Enterprise Search (in either a Basic Search Center or Enterprise Search Center) 

A Comparison of Closed Source to other sorts of Businesses;

A brief breakdown of various Industries and a brief overview of various factors for businesses to operate in them:

Industry	Impacts
Hospitality	Equal Employment Opportunity Food Safety Appliances Utensils Privacy ...
Construction	Environmental Impact Workplace Health and Safety Building Materials Power Tools Heavy Equipment ...
Closed Source	Almost nothing – just your brain!
You could look at many other industries … !!
Shared Source	CPU cycles, RAM, reboots, Hard Drive Space ... Significant Hardware Closed Software Licenses High Speed Networks including Internet Copyright Curricula …

but Closed Source by it's nature is very difficult
Shared Source may require (slightly) more resources -
are you clever enough to write Closed Source -
and are you really up to writing your own Closed Source ??

And is it really worth it in your situation -
when most of the benefits are reaped from those at the top ??

More 'great ideas' for Australia Post ...

I found out through eBay that you can now print your own Postage / Shipping Labels or I guess you could call them Stamps!

So harking back to my other post on Australia Post:

https://productive-business.blogspot.com/2018/06/australia-post-innovations.html

Is it time Australia Post also offered more ~

Scanning & Printing services to assist in making printers ubiquitous for people?



How about ~

more Australia Post vending machines stocking Australia Post products around the place?

SharePoint - differing (outside) topics that help to transfer across

This is a great list of topics that definitely help you with SharePoint - good if you've worked with them before:

1. Competitor Web Content Management products - particularly if they implement Cross-Authoring and Publishing
2. Competitor Enterprise Content Management - Records Management products e.g. Documentum etc ... 
3. Some of the more heavyweight Business Intelligence Competitors - a list can be created by a comparison of the functionality - but later on as I run into them:
• On that point I am not that impressed with Crystal Reports and that competitor Microsoft Product I'm sure you can all fill in - and I am not blown away by Tableau or Power BI either
4. SharePoint Security can and does make heavy use of digital certificates - make sure you have a glance at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_key_certificate ~ some places that Certificates are used (not to forget that Digital Certificates can be also used to sign Office documents): 
• Internal connectivity
• External connectivity
• Connections between SharePoint Farms (i.e. trusts between SharePoint Farms)
• Connections between SharePoint and Exchange / Skype for Business 
• On-Premise SharePoint App Store
• Claims Authentication integrated with SharePoint 
• etc ... 
5. A bit of starter SQL Server Analysis Services in Business Intelligence - Obviously SSAS is a big topic - so you can start on the bits common to both SharePoint and SSAS ...
• In fact that might not be a bad way to start learning SSAS.  
6. Obviously if you're connecting to non-Microsoft data sources with say Enterprise Search or the Business Connectivity Services  it does help if you know some of the basics:
• Non major Microsoft data sources include Oracle, Lotus Notes etc ...
• FYI - the list of (fairly common) Microsoft sources includes Access, SQL Server, File Server (for Enterprise Search) etc ...
