Welcome

Hi. My name is Paul Culmsee of Seven Sigma Business Solutions and welcome to my blog. For my bio, go to my about page. On this site, I discuss mainly cloud-based topics, with particular reference to strategy, governance and return on investment issues, but sometimes I end up writing techno-babble articles too 🙂

If you are an IT decision maker, and non propeller-head, or simply interested in topics on the softer side on people and technology, then the articles listed on the right side of this screen are probably for you. For the technical oriented readers, the left side is probably what you are looking for. I do write long posts, I’ll admit, but I try and keep them interesting with some humour.

  3. Cannot access any of the InfoPath links A Tribute to the humble leave form Part 5 or any of the links
    Have tried for two days now

  4. Here Im sending u attachment of my Godaddy Email Hosting Cpanel details.

    And I follow this link to configure SMTP relay to send a email. I configure this into my Sharepoint 2013.
    I configure SMTP Reley in SP server & I took another server to setup SMTP Replay. But SP server its not sending email.

    http://davidlozzi.com/2011/08/01/sending-sharepoint-emails-through-the-cloud/

    Basiscally I want to trigger email from sharepoint server to outside. Also I have installed MS Project Server 2013 on SP 2013. In MSP server we need to send task list to end users. So basically I stuck in that perticuler MSP email triggering thing.

    I really dont understant where the problem is.

  5. Hello Mr. Culmsee,
    I have been reading your articles in your blog. One of the articles you posted on May 31, 2008 was written by your wife, according to you. In order to give credit where it is due, I would like to know your wife’s name.

    Thanks.

  6. Mr Culmsee,
    I must commend you on the quality of your technical blogs. I have been troubleshooting arcane SPD 2013 workflow errors for many hours, when Google finally lead me to your blog posts. I must say the level of detail you include and the clear explanations you post put any official Microsoft blog to shame. Your “Trials and tribulations inside SharePoint 2013 workflows” posts saved my bacon. Thank you Sir!

  7. Hello,

    We are a NY-based SharePoint hosting company, and we would like to know about the possibility of sponsoring/posting links and advertising banners on your blog and getting exposure for our business.

    Would really appreciate if we could have a dialog on how to take this business proposal ahead.

    Looking forward to an email from you on this at the earliest.

    Regards,

  8. How a SharePoint based case management system (MetaCaseDesk) can help in building customer loyalty?

    Customer loyalty to an enterprise or organization hinges on the level of customer service rendered. The latter should be of high quality, consistent efforts should be made to improve the level of service and a customer centric approach must be adopted and implemented. Case management systems are not restricted to the legal or medical industry, but encompass other areas as well.

    ​With case management software, the firm is able to consolidate all the information that concerns a case in one central repository and provide users with the tools they need to do their work – whether they’re resolving an issue, managing a claim, handling an investigation, fulfilling a service request or on boarding an employee.
