I haven't had a lot of time to post on this site since getting back from vacation. But some great things have happened since then. Marc Johnson a senior level consultant in Cincinatti has decided to start helping with the project. He has been researching all the available open source ERP systems on the market today. His research covers OpenMfg, OfBiz, … (i will finish this list later). We have also started the brain storming process determining what work will need to be done first and what we will include in our full version of the software.
Below is an initial list:
- Finance
- HR
- Order Management
- Inventory Management
- Purchasing
- Customer
- E-commerce
- Point of Sale
Our next step will be to put together a rough object model focusing on a single module for the application, like Human Resources. We would like to develop a web based solution that is self contained and "Simple". Not simple in missing functionality but simple in that we will try to cover this domain area adding major functions and leaving out all the minor directions that can turn a project into an ocean boiling machine.
Sorry if my post is not coherent. Its late and I am sitting at Panera. : )
