Minus Eight and Sunny

There is another world; a world that has existed for over 45 years, with people that have kept their perspective. It is a place where sun shines bright, offers hope, and is willing to share its simplicity, because it is easy to provide sunshine in the world of ERP.

“The temperature is eight degrees below zero,” the man stated.

“The sun is shining today,” replied his wife.

Perspective; It is both minus eight and sunny, but where is your focus?

Is there any sunshine in the fallout? Not if you choose to hang your head and accept the deep freeze instead of noticing the sunshine. Josh may have gotten it right in his tweet. That is a dark cold place.

There is another world; a world that has existed for over 50 years, with people that have kept perspective. It is place where the sun shines bright, offers hope, and is willing to share its simplicity, because it is easy to provide sunshine in the world of ERP;

· Take care of your people so they take care of your customers.

· Be easy to do business with.

· Build software that is easy to install, easy to use and solves real business problems.

· Provide a path that is minimally disruptive to business and delivers rapid incremental value with controlled investment.

Good news; the sun IS shining today. It actually shines every day, sometimes it happens to be behind a cloud (no pun intended). The warmth of its radiance cuts through the icy air and nourishes the soul, even when it is eight below zero. #SoftwareOnYOURTerms

A Modern Transaction Architecture

Written by: Henry Nelson Now consider modern Payroll application design. Hours load automatically (from time clocks or spreadsheets – it doesn’t matter), and the payroll checks are produced behind the scenes. The user is notified that hours are available, and alerted to problems with individual checks.

 

There is nothing else you can do

Identify the root cause. Determine the value of changing or altering the behavior, whether it is of the people, process, technology, or data. Hold it up against the amount of investment required. Decide, execute, and deliver. It is really quite simple.
