So since writing 1 blog per week is getting cumbersome I have to divide it into work week and weekend activities.

The Monday after finalizing our SOW we had a meeting planned with the CEO of SoftExpert, a well established IT Company which operates worldwide. We did a presentation on why his company hosting and implementing projeto Resgate would be the best thing on earth.  I think he bought it however he wanted to use his company’s existing platform for  Projeto Resgate business processes.  In essence this is a great thing but scope creep/change hit us quick and hard.  Although we had a potential IT company that can do the implementation our whole frame of thinking has to change but only when we get a final YES/NO from the CEO, which right now is TBD.  So since this week progress has moved to snail pace, CSC documentation, final power-point presentation frame-work and reading materials from SoftExpert was priority.

Here is the weeks recap:

Monday

Meeting with the CEO of SoftExpert and CDC support group followed by an outing for lunch at a local eatery (since our chef was out for the day) . We then met  pampolona (bird) at a local fabric store (shopping to spruce up the chairs at Resgate) capped of the day with afternoon cake and coffee.
