new SFA system
David, Anil, Vikas and others
I have a customer interested in the new SFA system using leads,
contacts, accounts, activities, opportunities and communications.
Currently they use an older version of CRMSFA as test however they are
interested using the new SFA system as it is currently in Jira.
Anybody else interested? We could build the system in the next 3 months.
I see that the activities stopped....what are the plans for the next few
months?
I can contribute substancially, but cannot do it on my own.
can we work together?
Regards,
Hans

Weizhan,
Sure please. Everybody is welcome to join this effort. The Jira issues
I have created are based on David's spec document. Few developers from
our company will be contributing patches on those issues.
You can help various ways, like
1) review those patches attached to Jira issues
2) contribute implementation/improvement patches
3) Add more details to Jira issues that will help developer.
4) ....

Re: new SFA system
Posted by Hans Bakker <ma...@antwebsystems.com>.
Anil,
My priority for this customer are the following entities and the related
functions:
leads
contacts
accounts
opportunities
activities
requests
In this order and then the rest. My customer is prepared to start with a
basic system, and extend later....the list above would be enough for him
for a first version.
I am prepared to implement the functions according the general OFBiz
principles which i also use in the projectmanager. Review we need to
spread over the people who actually want to use it.
For this customer i need the above functions in about 3 months. If you
can commit for half of the hours (150) in 3 months we could have a deal.
REgards,
Hans

Hans,
Development is progressing in SFA. At the same time we are also
working on AR, AP and HR app, so its going to remain slow progress in
each app for sometime. I am sure very soon it will pick up.
It will be useful to know which part of development effort will you
like to contribute, "Analysis and defining requirement Spec",
Implementation, Review and Commit. Based on which part you are
interested in, I can switch resources to work other tasks.
Also like David mentioned, I am also interested to know what your
plans look like for Project Management app.
Regards
Anil Patel

Re: new SFA system

Hans,
It would be great to work together on this. Our goal right now is to
create a generic Sales Force Automation (SFA) application that will
add in to OFBiz.
I did some analysis and design for this a long time ago and just
cleaned up the document a little bit, and it is now posted here:
http://docs.ofbiz.org/display/OFBIZ/CRM+Sales+Force+Automation+Plan
We plan to have some people working on this here and there in the near
future, but any and all help and collaboration is of course welcome!
BTW, this might be better in another thread, but we eventually want to
pick up on the Project Management app and help with that some more too
(we're working internally to do some analysis and define some specs
and such right now). One of the things that we definitely want to do
is create a separate webapp specifically for clients, and another
specifically for non-manager employees and consultants.
Anyway, yeah, let's move these along!

Re: new SFA system
Posted by Geoffrey Metais <gm...@octo.com>.
hello all ofbiz dev,
Actually I'm realizing an internship that would end to a generic CRM
development solution for my company.
So ofbiz seems to be the good solution and OCTO can become implicated in
ofbiz threw our needs.
In fact, the CRM developments would be realized fot telecom companies so, we
will need to do some features matching their demand.
As Jacques said, I just discovered ofbiz framework and I have to learn it
from scratch for now.
For training I think customizing opentaps' CRM would be a good thing. (if
you have any suggestion you're welcome)
This new ofbiz module is more interesting for my projects goal, so I will be
interested in taking part on this development (but I may have some
constraints), and my company will be pleased to take part of the community.
(it's already the case by developing and maintaning a plugin for grails
integration in maven2, and the grails project also)
So I hope to quick learn ofbiz and be able as soon as possible to provide
you some help !
Geoffrey
