IEA Energy launch HR portal built by SlickFish Studios and Yellahoose

April 2008 - IEA Energy launched a major new addition to the Intranet presence, an HR portal, using software designed and built by SlickFish Studios and Yellahoose.



The software is specifically built to make it easy for any organization's non-technical users to add and update online documents, files, links and messages. End-users simply login, see what's recently been added to the portal, and download or view the content.

If users do not immediately see the document they're expecting, an integrated search can help them easily locate it... or browse through all the organization's documentation and information resources added to the portal.



The software was developed using PHP and PostgreSQL, but it is not tied to any specific database back-end. IEA Energy's HR portal was launched using MySQL as the database back-end. An MS SQL Server and a SQLite version are both planned.

Additionally, because some human resources services are managed for IEA by Acadia Benefits, the HR portal was integrated with Acadia's good online tools and documents.

Yellahoose helps with database migration for Ames Scullin O'Haire Advertising

April 2008 - When they were planning the upgrade for their Clients & Profits database, Complete Partners and Atlanta, Georgia-based Ames Scullin Advertising contacted Yellahoose to help. Following the steps C&P had documented when migrating was one thing, understanding the full capabilities of the target host database platform, MySQL, was another.

Jim Cradock, Yellahoose's principal, helped successfully migrate the data to the robust MySQL server, he documented the processes he took to move the data (including documenting gotchas about which even C&P were unaware), and he implemented backup processing for disaster recovery.

The first week after the migration, Ames Scullin are using their upgraded Clients & Profits software with MySQL as the back-end database.
