2006 IntelliContact Accomplishments
I decided to make list of things of which I’ve been a part of accomplishing over the last twelve months at IntelliContact not any without assistance, and some for which I’m only happy to have had a role.
- From 3500-7200+ customers
- From one database cluster to four
- From eight mail servers to 12
- Creating and maturing the development processing inspired by good things from Scrum, Extreme Programming, and Flickr (credit to Geoff and Alan)
- One-click deployment tool
- Bug triage - bugs find their way to solution instead of hanging in purgatory forever
- Grown from 20 to 50 servers
- Two four-person development teams
- From 1.5 to 2.5 Systems people
- Event-based Billing system (almost all credit here goes to Michael Best)
- Got rid of Albatross upgrade code
- Two mailhandlers in two locations
- Agnification (web servers can serve up from any DB cluster)

Nice list. Would be nicer if you could add:
“helped a client roll out a Perl API implementation to the community”
hint, hint ;-)

I would love to add that to the list. The guys can’t figure out what’s going on with the code you’re provided. Please go ahead and send me a copy of your message and we’ll get back on it! Happy New Year!
