1) Turn on your site feeds

Turn on your site feeds – this is very important. This sounds like a little thing but it’s one of those little things that make a big difference. You want people to be able to read your post on the fly.

Add your blog to EVERY blog listing you can find. Google it. Here are a few blog search engines you can get started with:
Weblogs.com
Blo.gs
Technorati
Feed Burner
Syndic8
NewsGator
My Yahoo!
PubSub.com
Blogdigger
BlogRolling
BlogStreet
Moreover
Weblogalot
Icerocket
News Is Free
Topic Exchange
Google Blog Search
Tailrank
Bloglines

These sites feed to hundreds of other sites and thousands of people come looking at places like this everyday. Also it creates a link to your site. Pingomatic.com is a great multiple blog pinging service, it make you blogging life easier.

2) Link to other blog

Link to other blog sites (as many as possible).
here are what happens when you link to a blog site :
The link comes up in their “referral logs” and they will link back. Make sure to keep the linking site to similar or related themes.

3) Install Blogroll

Install blogroll This is similar to linking.
Blog posts eventually fall of the front page and get archived. blogrolls are more of a blog favorites list and keep the blogs visitors eyesight constantly. If you don’t have blogroll for your blog go here it’s free:

4) Submit your blog to the search engines

Submit your blog to the search engines! Many of the search engines will only take top level domain names so try and keep your blog at the root level.

5) Syndicate or be Syndicated

Make sure to syndicate and or be syndicated to as many blog sites that are in your related theme. DO NOT go outside of your theme if possible. You can submit articles or “press releases” for free here and include your link and of course all SEs will pick it up and show the link.

6) Blog submitting Crucial

Something very important to remember when submitting your blog to search engines and other blog sites and this is crucial:

1. PITCH the POST NOT THE BLOG SITE! No-one is looking for a new blog to read. They may, however, be interested in a specific new story you’ve found, or a new idea you have. Therefore, pitch the blog post (“How to SEO wordpress”) not the blog (“Blog SEO”).

2. Good grammar, spelling, punctuation, and other details boost your credibility.

3. Keep your post SHORT. It’s not a sales letter. You’re trying to get someone to read a thought provoking headline. (that of course has links to your main site for the solution to their search or problem) Let your site do the selling. Lead them there with your blog post.

4. Try and submit to high traffic blog.

7) Make sure your blog “PING”

Make sure you set your blog to “ping” the weblogs.com and others like them. “Ping” is the way that blogs automatically notify other blogs of a posting update. This means that when you have ping turned on it automatically updates other sites of your most recent post and they will include your post in their “recently updated” list and other assorted things.

Implementing an ERP system is a complicated task to achieve, in fact it is time consuming for planning, consulting and in most cases 4 months to 1 yearor even longer. However, a large, multi-site or multi-country implementation may take years. ERP systems are extremely wide in scope and for many larger organizations can be eventually complex. Implementing ERP software is typically not an “in-house” skill, so even smaller projects are more cost effective if specialist ERP implementation consultants are employed. Implementing an ERP system will require significant changes on staff and work practices. While it may seem reasonable for an in house IT staff to handle the project, it is commonly advised that ERP implementation consultants be used, due to the fact that consultants are usually more cost effective and are specifically trained in implementing the ERP systems.

To implement ERP systems, companies often seek the help from third-party consulting companies. These firms typically provide three areas of professional services: consulting, customization and support. One of the most important traits that an organization should have when implementing an ERP system is ownership of the project. Because so many changes take place and its broad effect on almost every individual in the organization, it is important to make sure that everyone is on board and will help make the project and using the new ERP system a success.

Data migration is one of the critical activities in determining the success or failure of an ERP implementation. Unfortunately, data migration is the last phase before the production phase of an ERP implementation, and therefore receives minimal attention.

The following are steps of a data migration strategy that can help with the success of an ERP implementation:

Step 1 : Idebtification of the migration data

Step 2 : Data migration timeframe determination 

Step 3 : Generate the data templates 

Step 4 : Freezing the tools for data migration

Step 5 : Decision on migration related setups

Step 6 : Decision on data archiving

ERP stands for Enterprise Resource Planning. It is the planning of how business resources (materials, employees, customers etc.) are acquired and moved from one state to another.  ERP is a way to integrate the data and processes of an organization into one single system. Usually ERP systems will have many components including hardware and software, in order to achieve integration, most ERP systems use a unified database to store data for various functions found throughout the organization. An ERP system supports most of the business system that maintains in a single database the data needed for a variety of business functions such as Manufacturing, Supply Chain Management, Financials, Projects, Human Resources and Customer Relationship Management (CRM).

The term ERP originally referred to how a large organization planned to use organizational wide resources. In the past, ERP systems were used in larger more industrial types of companies. In fact, ERP systems are used in almost any type of organization.

An ERP system is based on a common database and a modular software design. The common database can allow every department of a business to store and retrieve information in real-time. The information should be reliable, accessible, and easily shared.

ERP software system must provide an organization with functionality for two or more systems. While some ERP packages exist that only cover two functions for an organization, most ERP systems cover several functions.

Today’s ERP systems covered a wide range of functions and integrate them into one unified database. Ideally, Functions such as Human Resources, Supply Chain Management, Customer Relations Management, Financials, Manufacturing functions and Warehouse Management functions were stand alone software applications, usually hosted with their own database and network.

Navision reporting tools is suck and hard to use. Unlike Crystal Report or other reporting tools, Navision report was executed line by line, therefore we programmer having nightmare generate and design reports to meet some client requirement. ( for example the Total or SUM of the amount calculated MUST appear at bottom because of the line by line execution. )

We can’t create cross tab table, resize the field one by one, can’t highlight object for resize, miss alignment when adjust the position….

Navision Reporting probably need 1 hour to be complete where only 5 minute job using other reporting tools, is it a wasting of time ?

Looking forward to seeing some great improvement in the coming Navision version …

Cons of ERP

Here are some of the most common obstacles experienced:

The major problem with ERP systems are mainly due to inadequate investment in ongoing training for involved personnel, including those implementing and testing changes, as well as a lack of corporate policy protecting the integrity of the data in the ERP systems.
The common problems with ERP systems are :

• Customization in many situations is limited
• loss of competitive advantage due to Re-engineering of business processes to fit the “industry standard” prescribed by the ERP system.
•  ERP systems can be very expensive.
• Technical support can be shoddy
• High accuracy needed in other applications to work effectively. A company can achieve minimum standards, then over time “dirty data” will reduce the reliability of some applications.
• Once a system is established, switching costs are very high for any one of the partners.
• The blurring of company boundaries can cause problems in accountability, lines of responsibility, and employee morale.
• Resistance in sharing sensitive internal information between departments can reduce the effectiveness of the software.
• ERP System may be too complex measured against the actual needs of the customer.
• ERP’s may be too rigid for specific organizations that are either new or want to move in a new direction in the near future.
