I’ve been seeing a lot of interest in the concept of a Social Intranet lately.  The intranet is your company’s internal content network.  In many cases, it is nothing more than a series of links to other systems.  In more sophisticated intranets, companies publish corporate news and announcements, departments have their own pages to share […]

In the past few years, I’ve heard a litany of common requirements from client to client.  They include social, mobile, and personalization.  While social and mobile  gather all the buzz, we spend a surprising amount of time focusing on what a personalized experience really means.  I find a lot of people understand what personalized is […]

About two months ago, I was pointed to an article that talked about SharePoint Apps and how some people are starting to call them “Crapps”: SharePoint 2013 Preview – Apps or Crapps?  I didn’t want to add my two cents right away because I hadn’t really had a chance to play with the App Model […]

Proving that security remains a key part of any mobile conversation, it looks like Apple will buy AuthenTec for $355 million.  It’s interesting that this came up via a SEC filing rather than a press release. I guess something that only represents $8/share for a $595/share company isn’t all that big a deal. Seriously though, […]

It was reported that a group called Team Prosecco hacked that little RSA token that has been a stalwart in enterprise security.  This article in the New York Times reveals: “Cryptography breaks very slowly. It’s the molasses of computer science,” said the security researcher Dan Kaminsky. “There are many technologies we abstractly know are problematic and […]

I get to a lot of clients and so see a fair number of interesting password requirements.   Like many of you I wonder how “secure” things will be when setting up a password becomes an exercise in frustration.  Here’s the worst though from Mashable.

A few months ago, I read a blog on permission sets and how another consulting company (Arkus) had managed to do an implementation with just two profiles. That same company has now created a tool called The Permissioner to mass assign users a permission set, which I think is a great help to system administrators who, like Arkus, […]

A frequent challenge when using portals is list view visibility. Many companies new to Salesforce do not lock down the “Manage Public List Views” profile permissions. This enables business users to create a list view for themselves, such as “Mary’s Cases,” and then unknowingly make it visible to everyone, both internally and externally. Be sure […]

One of my favorite features of Salesforce is the ability to share information with your community, be it through the Partner Portal or Customer Portal, Salesforce Sites, Siteforce, or Salesforce-to-Salesforce. Bringing a Salesforce Cloud to your community is a great way to foster better and more efficient communication.

The following is a guest post written by Candace, a colleague of mine who is also a part of the Perficient Sitecore Competency Center. Initially, I found setting up a workflow in Sitecore confusing and frustrating.  I hope this article helps you avoid some of that frustration.  Chapter 3 of the Workflow Reference is fairly clear […]

For anyone who has worked on any portal project, you run into the most common of issues, Single Sign On (SSO).  It’s the holy grail of websites that you never do find.  No one wants to sign in multiple times.  Very few companies have eliminated it.  Many companies use more than one SSO tool like […]
