Holy hell ina handbag I was in bad mood yesterday. Caused mainly by our shiny new Intranet which doesn't actually do anything different than the old (Now called Global Intranet). Although it is built on Microshites SparePoint to make it easier to use. The whole thing has been built by a 3rd party company just to add a degree of complexity. So here it is in simple terms.
Situation.
Change a link to an application on another server on both Intranet and Global Intranet( Which was old Intranet but can't get rid off because..........WELL ITS GLOBAL)
Time taken to change on Global Intranet = 5 mins.
Time taken to change on Intranet = 4 hours 34 mins and 23 seconds including
a)Trying to find the fking list for the applications
b)Pulling what hair I have left out.
c)Three emails - including one to the vendor.
Turns out it was simple but as the dude on catchphrase used to say... it is only easy if you know the answer..
