DEVELOPMENT: Fortnightly digest - what's happening at Hilltops IT and the world of software development

Hilltops IT Developer's diary

Since last fortnight's post, most development activity has been on the following projects:


  • Website development - development work on our Hilltops IT website for re-branding. This has been the main focus for us - bringing together the design work with the "nuts and bolts" of the mechanics of the site. there are still a couple of tweaks to make, but the site is looking really good. Everyone internally is really excited about being able to announce the launch.
  • Business Intelligence reporting - continued work on a bespoke project reporting on 3,000,000+ rows of data from disparate data sources using SQL Server Reporting Services.
  • Microsoft Dynamics CRM - minor tweaks to an existing customer's MSCRM system for additional summary information in their Accounts screen.

Plus! We've been looking at the feasibility of a new product in the ConnectIT range. More on that soon.
