If not,
review the basics of S ->I->T->E ERP Methodology
again.
Once you've absorbed S
I
T
E ERP methodology, please realize this is not "theory." It has been proven thousands of times as the only way for the small business person to succeed with ERP -- it is reality. You are now ready to...
Step 2 -- Act upon the "Open Source ERP Implementation Reality."
As just mentioned, the reality of Open Source ERP Implementation is that it works... if YOU work it! Thousands of ordinary, everyday business people have done exactly that. They have used the integrated SOSE! tools to execute S
I
T
E.
The reality is that it is all under your control, far more so than in the risky, proprietary ERP business world. This reality can be summed up as follows...
"Nothing happens by accident in the world of computers, customers and the business response. There is always reason for what happens, good or bad, that reason is YOU. "
Once you realize the logic and power of S
I
T
E ERP methodology, then you know that success really is DO-able. It is indeed "yours to be had." And if you don't succeed immediately, keep trying until you find the right approach.
You only fail when you quit. Patience and persistence ultimately rule the day.
Persistence wins. Keep pushing it... the business software you implement will take on its own momentum. It will fulfill all your objectives, if you put in the right approach, the time and persistence that are required to grow anything that is worth achieving.
Bottom line...
SOSE! sweeps away the barriers (technology, training, etc.). You literally have all you need to determine to make it work. So decide now to join the majority of SOSEers who make it into the successful ERP implementation.

Follow this Action Guide. It's wonderful to have the persistence to push your way past errors. But why not reduce the amount of trial-and-error and save your persistence for bigger matters? Follow the Guide and reinforce your understanding by reviewing these materials!
We're making superb progress. You understand S
I
T
E ERP methodology. More importantly, you are ready to invest (and "invest" is the perfect word!) time to build S
I
T before you Expand. Once you do, Expanding implemented system is the easiest (and most fun!) part. Let's do it...
Step 3 -- Maximize Return On Investment (ROI) and profits
Selecting right software (free open source software without license fees), systematic implementation and adequate training will minimize total amount of investment required for ERP implementation. If you follow these steps and start using one module by one in your organization you will start getting benefits of ERP implementation. SOSE! provides you required templates for accurately measuring ROI of the same. On day 10th SOSE! will guide you, how to use ROI templates.
Moving Forward...
Ready For DAY 3?
You're ready for DAY 3 if you understand that Expand comes last, not first.
You are really ready if you understand that the E is the easiest part of S
I
T
E ERP methodology and that you will only start S after DAY 6! And speaking of S...
Before you can do that, you must do ...
- DEFINE business needs and get a shortlist of solutions.
- COMPARE your shortlisted solutions using thousands of criteria.
- ANALYZE the strengths and weaknesses of each solution.
And THAT is exactly what you
are going to be doing from DAY 3 to DAY 5. Remember... don't rush. The rest of your business depends on it.
Onwards and upwards...
DEFINE Business Needs And Get a Shortlist of ERP Software Solutions.
