This is the email I sent to half a dozen customers who make extensive use of our KPI facility:-
"I have added the Royal Wedding to the Caseworks Calendar and advanced all KPIs so they allow for it.
This will let you relax and enjoy the event, without the fear that your KPIs are expiring!"
Well, I hope they did enjoyed the wedding! This is my favourite picture from the event...

And the Royal Borough?
This is a quote from Greenwich.co.uk
"The London Borough of Greenwich will join an elite group of “Royal Boroughs” as part of HM The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee, it has been announced.
The Queen’s gracious decision to bestow this rare honour on Greenwich was announced today by Lord Mandelson in the House of Lords. It will come into effect from 2012 – the year that marks Elizabeth II’s 60th year as Queen."
This website has the good news, that if you are enjoying these extra holidays, another one is coming our way "Lord Mandelson also announced today that there will be an extra public holiday in 2012 to mark the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee."
And the connection with Caseworks, is that the Greenwich project is my current big project, which has probably been the biggest implementation of any we have done. Greewnich has worked out in fine detail the fields needed to match their procedures, and as a result, the system now fully provides for RIPA, Surveillance, for preliminary stages of ABC and ASBO and - probably useful to many - we now have the ability to create correspondence from all Action pages - including the ability to send correspondence to each subject and involved agencies. Here is a sample of the Action Buttons on a Case History screen.

It has been a massive task, not yet complete, and if it were our only project it would be demanding enough. Infact it is far from the only project as we are also half way through an implementation at Westminster and an add-on for East Durham Homes and still finishing off a complete recustomisation at Leeds. And the sheer pressure of so many overlapping projects has been the main reason for the lack of a Blog entry for four months - just not enough hours in the day.
So maybe a little Royal nonsense has been a welcome break!
