Allfields Xmas Breakfast
A breakfast fit for all Sea Dogs at Greta Point Cafe. Really Matt, a burger for breakfast???
Status Board
In our (very rare) spare time at Allfields, the development arm of the business is allowed to “branch-out” and work on projects that may not be strictly business focused. In our latest escapade, we felt one of the walls in the new office was a touch bland. This called for some serious spending. A trip to Dick Smith, and a 42” LCD later, the wall was no longer empty.
But we didn’t stop there, as there is no point having a sizable screen on the wall if you aren’t going to use it properly. Inspired by Panic’s status board, we decided that our TV would be a great mechanism for displaying our calendars and other important information.
A few hundred lines of PHP and JavaScript down the road, beta 1 was complete. The solution currently displays news, weather, twitter and a selection of our calendars. It is compulsory viewing for all visitors, and has proved to be a hit with the rest of the team.
Warning: technical detail follows!
The hardest part of this project by far was getting PHP to strike up a conversation with Microsoft Exchange. After a day of head-wall connection, the eventual solution involved using cURL to interact with Exchange Web Services. It was incredibly satisfying to see a Microsoft product spit out appointments into a PHP array.

Allfields are growing again, we have some exciting projects coming up – if you would like to challenge yourself in a rewarding and fun environment, then read on.
Who are allfields?
What a silly question. As if you don’t know. Just in-case there are 1 or 2 people who don’t know who allfields are, we are an awesome Knowledge and Information Consultancy based in Wellington providing a wide range of services for large organisations in NZ and Australia. Clients love us and we love our clients. Why – because we are highly respected for our knowledge. Allfields are the go-to company for the people side of EDRMS Rollouts in New Zealand.
What is a knowledge consultant?
Very good question! Allfields Knowledge Consultants make our clients look awesome by imparting knowledge through Teaching, running workshops and documenting new systems and new processes.

Someone with uber enthusiasm, someone who can speak clearly and confidently to small and large groups. If we strike the jackpot, the person we want is already working in an industry that knows EDRMS speak.
What would the job involve?
After learning from our guru’s, the job would involve, delivery of training courses, liaising with clients around their projects, managing rollout events (scheduling, bookings, delivery etc.)

Farewell Steve Jobs
Sad day for the Office Mac users – farewell Steve Jobs, thanks for Itunes, the Ipod, IPhone, IPad and everything else you gave us.
WWMP at full capacity for the Rugby World Cup
As we come to the business end of the Rugby World Cup, the Wellington Waterfront Motorhome Park (WWMP) is regularly at full capacity to accommodate the influx of tourists into our city.
In 2010, Allfields designed, built and deployed a full eCommerce enabled booking system for Wellington Waterfront Limited. This cutting edge solution included a web-based portal for visitors to book and pay online. Visitors are then able to check in on site with a touch screen kiosk, also developed by Allfields.
On the scenic walk from the city to the stadium, WWMP is very hard to miss with 30-40 motorhomes parked outside on any given game weekend. We are proud to see a system we built go to such good use in promoting New Zealand to our international guests for Rugby World Cup.
