Openreach - Release 1
Its been 6 months of hard work. But we've finally done it. What seemed like an impossible task has been acomplished.
Openreach Release 1
The task at hand was to architect, design and deliver a content managed portal application for UK's largest telecom vendor. The challenge was set and it was nigh impossible.
The technology stack was impressive. Struts, Tiles, Hibernate, Spring, Apache's Log4j, Apache's commons configuration project, Oracle, Weblogic, Sun One and Interwoven all proven technologies in the industry. All classes were wired together using Spring. We had to learn and master the chosen content management server, and then figure out how best to integrate it with the Portal. It was truely an exciting and testing period. It became more personal than doing it merely for the organization we work for.
Many many late nights; in fact we did serveral 24 hour days; tons of pizza, countless portions of tom yum soup, and batter fried prawns later we finally did it.
We were the only vendor, among many big names, to deliver on time. The sweat we had put in was all worth it.
