Implementation
- Presently trying 2Pack to export AD out for import into ADempiere.
- Then source code rationalising into separate jar package for 2Pack.
- Now at presales stage. Hopefully commencing some live implementations among the top construction industry companies soon using the package and improvements made shall be constantly updated to the 2Pack.
Future Roadmap
- Cooperating within bazaar to incorporate OpenProj (the Open Source version of MSProject) into the construction module
- Looking at understanding A Step by Step Guide to Libero Manufacturing as a better basis to reuse.
- Thinking of using Excel Map for MS Project Integration, useful also to Libero Manufacturing.
