I think I speak for the whole zevenseas team when I say that we absolutely love Mondays and Fridays.
On Monday mornings we get to work with some of the worlds biggest and best companies, on projects that push collaboration and SharePoint to the limits. Friday mornings start with breakfast at our local cafe, time where we can share our week over coffee, learning and solving each others problems as we go. We then head to the office where we spend the rest of the day trying to impress each other with our latest demos or get to work on our next cool tool.
Making sure we enjoy what we do was one of the most important goals we set ourselves when we began this boutique consultancy way back in Jan 2008. We have succeed by focusing not just on the Mondays and Fridays, but by taking a long term view. We all have the best equipment, we have the time to share and build knowledge, and through conference attendance and community engagement, we’ve built a network of experts that help us to stay up to date.
I have to say, our first year has gone better than we could ever have expected, except for one thing. We would really like to (carefully) grow our team here in the Netherlands.
If you love SharePoint (its all we do), care about the community (blog, twitter, tools), want to create innovative solutions for great clients and want to be part of a team that is committed to making consulting the high value profession it once was. Then drop me a line daniel@zevenseas.com.
Its time you started loving Mondays and Fridays too (and of course all the days in between).

Last Friday Robin released a project that is has been a long term labour of love, and one that I believe contributes some significant value to the community.
zevenseas LCM.. it’s finally here!
Here is a brief summary of its capabilities:
- Captures sitedeletions and makes a backup first before deleting the site or web.
- Gathers sites that are unused (using the Usage info, Last Content Modified Date and Last Security Modified Date)
- Actions can be taken on this "unused" sites, such actions are
- Mail the siteowner and informing them that their site is being unused
- Lock the site after a given period of time
- Delete the site after a given period time
Now, this is a Beta for a reason, and we are releasing it so that we can get your feedback and bugs so that we can move it to an official release. Please install this only on a test environment, and then please pass on your feedback!
Congrats Robin!

That’s the title of an article I published over on SharePoint Magazine today, just thought you might be interested:
- Fill ‘Er Up - Load up with data until you know when you’re creaking.
- You entered what?!? - Have some testing resources (automated or otherwise) dedicated to entering the strangest characters you can imagine, into the strangest places you can imagine.
- Are you allowed to do that? - Make sure you are testing the system using the roles you have defined, and make sure you are giving people only the permissions they really need.
- Two Servers are better than one - Test on a multi-server environment sooner rather than later.
- Baseline it! - Baseline the performance of your solution so that you can compare it to future releases.
So head on over for the full scoop.

This year Hans has been working with Computrain to bring his wealth of SharePoint experience to a roster of training courses, specifically:
He is also looking to broaden this out to more free-flowing workshops. So, if your organisation is looking for some quality training, or to workshop some specific ideas, drop him an email:
