April 29th, 2010Construction deaths
April 29th, 2010There has been enough bad news in the construction sector over the last year but the most chilling statistics have just been released in Abu Dhabi
Deaths due to:
Fall 28
Road traffic 27
Falling object 20
Electricity 13
Machinery 7
Drowning/submersion 4
Fire/flame or hot substance 3
Suffocation 3
Other transport 3
Total 108
That’s more than 2 a week , every week in one city
Tihis is the first time such figures have been released by a UAE government body and comes after the welcome decision to prepare a federal plan setting minimum standards for construction industries in an effort to reduce the numbers of injuries and deaths. Dr Jens Thomsen, section head of occupational and environmental health at HAAD, said it was important to release the figures so “the community at large” were aware of the extent of the problem. We endorse this transparency and strict enforcement of international standards for health and safety.
It is too late for those who have already lost their lives and there should be a speedy introduction. Such figures are scandalous and in Europe would be considered cause for criminal action.

XRM Discussion at Convergence 2010
April 27th, 2010Dynamics CRM is a core application, with a powerful application development capability xRM.that allows for customized tools built on CRM, As one discussion leader at Convergence 2010 put it, “xRM stands for ‘anything relationship Dennis Ambrose, vice president of operations for ADX Studio, presented four suggestions for getting started with xRM:
1. Start small. “I suggest an agile approach to solution development,” said Ambrose. “Start small and iterate quickly. Look for where the largest gain points are.”
2. Assemble a committed delivery team. “The delivery team is critical,” he noted. This means committed executives and a solid partner relationship.
3. Drive adoption and value. This means making sure to make the xRM program easily accessible by employee users, as well as external users, if it’s a special web site, for example.
4. Make use of “the cloud.” Off-site services and servers relieve the need for internal development and security. That doesn’t mean there won’t be a need for internal servers, relying on Sharepoint and premises CRM, Ambrose said. “Together, Sharepoint and CRM provide a rich palette,”
