Hi there,

I am keen and interested to find out if any of you have recently successfully completed an I.T. related project at work? something like created a database, website, spreadsheet (used by others that is standard practice now) whatever it maybe I am eager to know what it was?

Look forward to hearing from you

Cheers
 
Making a website and a load of graphics at college if that counts?

But the website I make will actually be for my business and it counts as my coursework, so it's all good! :D
 
thanks mate but was hoping for something more substantial. Dont get me wrong I dont want to know about coders or program developers etc just day to day or some larger IT projects that occur at work i.e. network installation, server updates, installation of a specific system for a specific purpose etc

I know its vague but people who have done it will know what I am talking about (i hope!)

cheers
 
What are you trying to get out of this thread OP? Just a list of projects that people do at work or the approach we take etc?

We've recently moved offices so there's been a lot of network design from our Infrastructure guys, few business units are implementing new software solutions and there are website development projects on the go.

Err, it's all pretty integrated. Software Developers program something up, system admin deploys the program, project managers keeps deadlines and budget on track?

Hi,

migrated a business objects XI release 2 (BOXI R2) platform up to BOXI R3.1 SP3 as R2 was coming out of support. Quite a large platform, 300 reports, 1500 users.
Full integration with WinAD auth for users to sign in and use it.
MS based with Tomcat app server.

Hit lots of issues, found a few issues the vendor didn't know about, should I say 'features'.

Did all documentation, training. Supported two rounds of testing and then cut over to live in a four hour window,

Cheers, HIH.
 
Yes, it's large, very financial-technical and I'm not sure what you want to know about it.

I can't condense a 3 year plan of business and technical change into a forum post.

:(

I feel your pain, anything with Buisiness Objects is a real pain. A few years ago I had to migrate from 8 to 10 and it was a nightmare. Thankfully I was only doing the SQL side rather than the BO changes.
 
Designing and implementing our sccm infrastructure and rolling out Windows 7 to our entire estate. Still ongoing but it is going well (fingers crossed)
 
Rolled out a few new network management systems recently. Have learned tonnes about how things should have been set up from the start (network config wise), which would have made things easier. :/
 
Given that it's my daily job, yes. Yes I have.

In the last few months I've created 3 shops, 4 brochure sites and a roofing specification tool that is used in 3 countries and spits out PDFs - which was a ******* nightmare to get the layout right.

Current project is a mass emailing system to rival MailChimp.
 
Projects? Id say thats a given for most who work in IT... Over the last 6 years I have done many mainly revolving around Sharepoint... Design, implementation, migration, migration... A bit more code here and there, a few workflows... you get the idea.

A fun was was a card entry system at a gym.
 
I managed the the installation of a new timed attendance and HR system. The migration of all the data etc...

Currently building a website based on steganography where files can be analysed by a remote server.

Mate of mine is just about to virtualise all of his work servers, now that is a project.
 
I just rolled out windows 7 desktops and five new servers (vms) to a company of 100 users 6 departments. I built the entire windows 7 image myself and used clonezilla and sysprep and did all the group policy. Built wsus server, sophos management server, management server running prtg and hp insight, new printer server and a server running ocr and adobe acrobat pdf conversions. All running windows 2008 r2 enterprise.

The pdf server i was quite proud of myself because i fully intergrated the ocr software and adobe acrobat in to imanage document management system and rolled out a remote desktop icon to some secretaries through group policy based on their account name. It only allows two users at a time but it works ok.

I realy enjoyed working on the project and find it much more interesting than doing support work and will be doing more in the future, which is good news.

he's trying to get you to do his home/coursework, I can't see it being anything else.

Anyone in IT is going to be involved in IT related projects, as the vast majority of IT work is managed as projects.
 
I construct databases for uni projects and deal with other IT stuff as half of my job. its pretty standard stuff really.
Currently been approached to build a system that may take me to asia for a week but might have to turn it down due to my workload being obscene at the moment.
