About Me
Hi folks,
I've been playing around with pERP for several weeks now locally and have found it to be extremely good. Of course there is some stuff that needs finishing off, and some stuff that needs totally reinventing. I'm currently setting up an installtion for a client of mine (a small manufacturing company) and will look to become more involved in development to support some of the features they need. I understand I will first have to learn a lot about eGroupWare but as time permits I hope to become more involved.
I'm very much involved in ERP and by trade I'm primarily a business efficiency consultant. This is the first time I have chosen pERP as a solution for a customer and from my research so far believe it to be something I will look to do again in the future. I have a client in mind for this, with a job due to start early 2009. This client is an extremely large manufacturer with production and sales in most major countries and I look forward to the challenge.
I consider the installation for my current client a smaller scale test-run and am eager to provide feedback and look at ways pERP can be enhanced. I rate myself as extremely skilled in PHP, MySQL and Linux. I've already made some changes to the pERP system to fix some bugs which I will contribute back to the project after I've got a number of other minor issues resolved.
Please do feel free to get in contact with me!
Current work
At present I am creating some Sage to pERP data import scripts to help migrate my current client away from their Sage installation. Sage is a very popular and common accounting/CRM package and I hope to contribute my scripts to the pERP community as they have been completed and proven to work.
One of my suppliers, and close friend, is a Sage expert and he has already helped develop software for me to read/write Sage data directly for another project. You may not be aware that although Sage is a commonly used product, getting access to its data is often far from easy (can anybody say vendor lock-in?) I hope I can take some of this ability and create an OS tool for Sage data extraction.
I'm eager to work with anybody else on a more complex import system to contribute back to the community so certainly do leave me a message here and we can get talking.
