Last time I blogged I was all excited about the possibility of using the Microsoft Office Score Card Accelerator. As it turned out we could not use it, because the user's requirements were a bit more unique than what the Accelerator made provision for. We did however build a really cool score card engine. By changing settings in the data base we can determine how each objective will be scored - and there are three seperate scoring methods - also parameter driven. Best of all, we are using Excel to manage the score card engine - it was faster than building an adnministration module. It works like a charm and I could still use “the wonders of Office“ .

Working at Microsoft has been a real wake-up call. The learning curve is incredibly steep. This does mean that there is never a dull moment though! I have been working so hard that I neglected www.SAArchitect.net and my blog. The rewards have been excellent though: I attended MGB (Microsoft Global Briefing) in Atlanta. What a mind blow! There were at least 10 000 delegates. I still managed to bump into people that know my husband though. The IT world stays small no matter where we go.
