ArchiveThis site contains an archive of the Minimal IT Newsletters, which were published from 2005 to 2015. For an up-to-date view of the technologies and tools covered in the newsletters, see https://www.metrici.com If you have any queries, contact Andrew Clifford at andrew.clifford@minimalit.com. Recent newslettersWe use the term "metadata-driven" to describe IT solutions in which functionality is defined in data. Taking this to the extreme can provide unparalleled levels of speed, simplicity and versatility. If you ask a cloud vendor whether their solutions are secure, I am sure they would say "yes". They'll talk about server security, encryption, access controls, monitoring, and so on. But do all these controls really mean your data is safe, or not? If you were selling IT solutions, would you talk to the IT department? How do you view yourself and your colleagues? The design challenges Metrici has faced with summary data are common to lots of systems, and the solution we have adopted could be used elsewhere. Metadata redefinition is the basis for Metrici's versatility, productivity and simplicity. How does it work? Metadata redefinition is the most powerful feature of Metrici. But what is it, and why is it useful? Display properties control how data is presented and how the user interacts with it.
