One of the myriad of new requirements tucked inside the Affordable Care Act is for healthcare service providers to implement strategies to reduce the number of inpatient readmissions, which in many cases are deemed to be costly and indicative of poor quality of care. One way to drive such a reduction strategy is to enable […]

In my previous Kapow migration post, I gave an overview of the tool. In this post, I’ll give a short technical explanation of the migration process I developed. Keep in mind that my upload target was Sitecore, so some of my setup was Sitecore-specific. First, an inventory of all the current pages in the site […]

In my many years of writing Web Content Management sites, a number of clients have discussed migrating content from an old site into a new site via some kind of automatic migration, but always ended up doing a manual migration. This past spring, we finally had a client who decided to use Kapow as the […]

Most new SharePoint 2013 implementations these days run on virtual machines, and the question on whether to virtualize SQL servers has been long put to rest. Indeed, with the new Windows Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V VM specs of up to 64 vCPUs, 1 TB RAM and 64 TB data, it is  hard to make a case […]

When I speak to clients about In-Memory features in SQL Server, I find that Columnstore indexes just haven’t gained much traction as a marquee feature. The functionality itself is quite useful in the BI/DW realm as far as potentially boosting query performance by 1.5 to 10 times. But I think it gets overlooked because the […]
