All You Need to Know Performance Management Tools
February 17th, 2010
The current economy means that profit can most effectively be raised by an examination of overhead, not a increase of income. With this in mind, let’s turn to the benefits of that great secret of successful companies, employee performance management software.
While we all know that making the most out of your company requires knowing in what areas each and every one of your staff perform most strongly, and knowing how to customize your procedures to suit. Discovering and making this information ready to use is often where things become challenging, though. Just keeping track of employee appraisal and identifying progress in their performance rapidly becomes a significant amount of work. You first put employee appraisal techniques into action so that you can assess the work done by each member of staff. Should you be employing established approaches, your next move is the manual assessment of the vast amount of raw data you have obtained simply to be able to study further progress and set objectives. Utilizing performance management software you know that this analysis is taken care of and you need only look at the various metrics and factors to find what the right set of targets for this staff member would be. It also renders charting the staff member’s progress much easier. Generating as it does more precise information in less time, this is of course a major saving before putting these findings to use. There is the possibility to examine the raw data yourself and use the process just to organize and record everything. Performance management software doesn’t just work for staff. Both suppliers and clients can be studied using such programs, giving you still more performance management tools. For example, when looking at suppliers you can demonstrate their weaknesses such as poor delivery times, bad loss records, etc.
Turning our attention to clients and affiliates, you can determine who who is your best seller of any given product or service if there are payment issues, which client experiences the highest loss percentage, and more. You can then customize your orders and stock handling to boost your income while cutting spending. This information will allow you to identify your best target audience. With this demographic in mind advertising is free to become more effective and easier to plan.
Analyzing both market and sources is easy with performance management software. It also makes employee performance management quicker and more effective as well as helping you encourage staff by determining definitive targets dramatically. With all that taken into account, it’s clear that the potential benefits of this system are endless and will depend solely on your own creativity and ability to use what you learn…

Hosted Unwanted Mail Filtering Means no Software Concerns
November 6th, 2009
Hosted junk-mail-removal and/or email lets you focus on what is important.
With rising volume of spam e-mails that drain a substantial amount of companies financial resources and eat bandwidth, outsourced hosted server could give them freedom from this headache and increase their productivity.
Internet is a core resource and a vital daily part of both business and private acitivities, however, if it suddenly consists of a lot of ilegitimate email-s and junk, then its becomes irritating and frustrating to both the IT department, the users and in the end the entire company.
Web spreads out widely and is now available for everybody in all age groups, which has a huge impact on the amount of spam mails and following that, an increased cost using time and resources to clear junk and ilegitimate mail from the mail boxes. The cost of deleting spam is usually underestimated by people as it takes a couple of seconds to remove a spam e-mail from inbox. But even imagine a situation of removing tens or hundreds of thousands of spam e-mails could be fearsome.
Spam e-mails are not only annoying in nature, but they also have significant impact on the operation cycle of a company since they drain network resources and use bandwidth. Every unsolicited message delivered uses bandwidth and in some cases spam account for nearly 50% of the entire network.
Companies ranging from big names that have dedicated department of IT security to small enterprises, which spend a very small proportion of their annual budget on web security, are plagued by unproductive bandwidth. Moreover, governments at both national and regional levels have taken strict action against spamming by implementing legislations but their efforts have proved insufficient as cyber criminals continue to thrive on their successful experiments with new technologies.
Those who submit spam mails have build their community consisting of several networkds of hosted servers and advanced attack techniques. Studies clearly shows that junk mail steal vital financial and time resouces from businesses, add to that the increased threat from malware, spyware and virus exposed to the entire internal network.
Such security threats stress the need to implement advanced junk removal on hosted mail servers to decrease the cost of operating and protecting the internal network from collapse. Organisations can especially protect themselves better against online security issues using outsourced hosted servers and services.
One strong feature of employing outsourced hosted server is time saving as companies do not need to be worry about hardware/software integration and maintenance of installed equipments. Qualified and skilled professionals keep round the clock watch on their systems and ensure complete elimination of spam before sending e-mails to their networks.
The hassle of clearing user inbox everyday rests with the outsourced hosted server, which also provides valuable information that makes the process understandable to less tech-friendly users.

Microsoft Dynamics GP: Project Accounting Integration Scenarios - Overview for Consultant
May 13th, 2008
Microsoft Great Plains or former Great Plains Software Dynamics/eEnterprise is very good platform for service business automation, including midsize and large corporations, specializing in routine projects: placement, small contracts to residential and small business customers, franchisee networks, distribution, etc. In our small article we will be giving you example of medical personnel placement projects, where hospitals and clinics are the customers. The advantage of such standard-functionality system as Great Plains/Dynamics GP is reasonable price and very reliable database platform: MS SQL Server. The other way is to deploy rich-functionality ERP, such as SAP R/3/mySAP, Oracle Financials, however the implementation, customization and integration cost would be a way higher.
• Timesheet import. Placement industry is underserved and placement application market is very weak, this results in a high demand in standard ERP customizations. Usually placement agency has CRM application with sophisticated or simple time and expenses logging functionality. This time logs should be integrated with project accounting timesheet header and line tables. Timesheet import should come in parallel with the import of new customers, new contracts and projects. Tables: PA10000 - Timesheet header and PA10001 - Timesheet line, PA01901 - PA Key Master, PA01301 - PA Budget Master, PA01101 - Contract Master and PA01201 - Project Master.
• Employee Expenses. Your temps usually file you expense reports, especially if they are traveling to remote locations/hospitals/clinics
• Billing Process. In the billing itself you usually need fixes to Project, Contract and Timesheet records - if you deploy simple custom logic and user defined fields plus notes. Prior to billing you typically run SQL scripts and stored procedures. The necessity of this custom logic should be attributed to legacy design - please note that GP was designed as database and graphical platform independent application/MRP back in the earlier 1990th. Its IDE and programming language is kind of a shell written in C - Great Plains Dexterity, current name is Microsoft Dexterity.
• Invoice Formats/Forms. Great Plains Project Accounting is former MatchData Dexterity third party module. The initial design was done in Philippines at the end of 20th century. Since then Great Plains Software tried to integrate PA into DYNAMICS.DIC (as well as its new acquisitions - Great Plains Manufacturing), later on the decision was made to keep third party (now purchased and integrated modules) in their own dictionaries. Further complication - Project Green was intended to merge all the applications into one: Microsoft Navision, Axapta, Solomon, Great Plains - currently the idea is to have web portal type of integration. As you can expect - the invoice form is very flexible and is probably too generic for the standard functionality of GP Project Accounting. You might need Dexterity custom touches to activate required features
• For C#/VB.Net developers. With the version 9.0
Microsoft Dynamics GP will be exposing you Microsoft Great Plains objects and forms. This is not a Dexterity, however you should be familiar with Dexterity design and architecture.
• Dexterity Legacy. You should still see it out there: DYNAMICS.SET, DEX.INI, DEX.EXE. In some cases we see ancient legacy applications, coming back to 1980th - Great Plains Accounting for DOS and MS Windows: 9.2, 9.5. The only recommendation to the customers who are without GP/MS support - upgrade to Microsoft Dynamics GP Standard 9.0
• Future Directions. Microsoft Dynamics GP has a long history of success. However in the US, UK, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and Continental Europe Microsoft Business Solutions is now promoting new MRP/ERP application, originally developed and designed by Navision Software - Microsoft Dynamics AX/Microsoft Axapta/Navision Axapta
