Notes:
ADILAS TEAM MEETING - JANUARY 2014
(Steve, David, Craig, Shari, Brandon, Shannon)

-Taxes for MMJ - put it in the parts section, or on the location homepage - basically being able to change
-More one to many - on the categories
-Those 2 pieces together - multi-leveled categories (also important for eCommerce) + the tax category (so the ability to set the taxes per category)
-Packages - RFID
-Split Cart
-Custom Labels
-Ice Down Date - pop-up calendar, maybe these two would go well together since we are already touching every page
-Content server
-Financial history page - this will be a great asset for the future. Probably a lower priority currently but this will be a really neat feature.
-More validation on different pages - the example was of a B.S. item on an e/r - but more things are coming with the balance sheet
-A search sort by column.... but maybe that could come later
-Bringing in things this year to enhance some of the smaller feature or functionality of adilas....
-Button links that open and expand - like on the printable invoice, allows for more space and it can open up
-What if you were able to save setting on reports?
-Bring the Report Builder back - save your settings on reports
-Expand out the "Chooser" - Exposing all approved customer interfaces - approve all of the generic customer interfaces and then you can put the custom ones in their own special place
-Some of these need to be industry specific - to approve for everyone.... For example - there are a lot of custom pages for MMJ and it would be really nice to be able to know what needs to be assigned for anyone in that industry
-Steve's making a Splash Homepage for MMJ, sounds great! Basically they get in and can decide whether they want to go from the Splash page - this can be in the chooser
-Expand the GPS graphic - it would be really neat to expand the new GPS graphic and make that into a really neat interface and homepage and then taking it to the next level - the graphical interface currently would be the main or home.... but then expand, so when you get into a sub homepage then you have about 3 sections... Section for the sub homepage, then little graphical buttons for all of these and your next steps... so what you can do from that homepage... and then what you can do with the data and having a special input link so you could type in the ID number for the item and then click on the graphical link you want - i.e. the main for that object, the line items for that object, etc., etc.
-Graphical display or something that we can continually use to show: Tips, news and info
-User guide: Tips, tricks, helpful info.....
-Prep the consultants - so that you can turn on those 2 main permissions and then let them go to it and set up those companies... that would be fantastic and help take the load off of Brandon and Steve so much
-Expose eCommerce - we could add validation, so if you don't have certain pieces it won't let you move forward.... let the system be the bad guy, work it through validation
****Empower the users**** - that is really what so many of these ideas are about
-Allow people to setup their own Merchant Processing - all of these things would be so great - it empowers the users and takes work off of adilas
-Allow them to setup their own logos... set up standards for what they need to have or if you don't know how to do a logo you could have a link that they could feed that to Russell or other developers that could work that, bill them directly, and create quite a few logos for them (Steve talked about this really cool idea that he heard from a gentleman about what he did to get his logo online - logos.com or something, but a really neat idea)
-3rd party settings:
**Adilas World NEEDS to come into play - so many skills and so many people that are ready and willing to help with things happening in adilas.... people want to play
-Developer's Notebook - get our back story
-Adilas University: Get the Help Files up there, SOP's, User Guide, Videos
-Training: multi-day mini sessions
-Categorize our videos, rate them, get them ready to be consumed easily
***API, API, API - that is where it is headed, that is where we need to go - MAKE ADILAS CONSUMABLE!!!
-Generating revenue: Set up your parameters & standards or maybe you do want to keep if flexible - but your setup and optimization fees, activation fees, etc......
-Having an adilas team that can pick up so many of these pieces that people are willing to pay for... pick up the money and projects from those that are around
-The byproducts are worth far more money than the actual code - training, consulting, custom pieces, .....
-Training - where do we want to go with this????
-Feb & March - Logan. April - ???? - Shari even offers one on one training at the training meetings that she does not charge for... good ideas, good stuff, such a great place for networking!!!!
-Mini training sessions - and charge for the mini sessions, topic specific possibly??? Or really super flexible, whatever you want to do with it
***Adilas World - networking capabilities,
**Our need is in trained people - there are so many clients and potential clients out there - but we NEED trained people - once you build that up, though there is the initial investing, then they turn around and can produce so much more
-Who can I grab and train? We can get people busy doing work in so many ways.
-Setting up mini sessions - let someone set it up and go with it
*Adilas eCommerce up and going - then you can start showing some of these pieces and start charging for some things
-Having a team that can help pick up the money - $$ - Custom pieces - having someone pick up what is already out there
-Custom pages - they are getting what they want, they are happy and those are some solid customers,
-Steve's charging $100 per client for setup right now... or if it's tiny $50 - very cool stuff
-Custom servers -custom boxes - we will be having clients that will want this, it is coming
-Hosting - this if following a similar model to how we even have been setup on servers, do you want your own environment, shared, semi-shared, etc., etc.
-We are excited where things are going and we will just keep moving forward! :)
-We need to help people feel like they can succeed once they get in adilas... we want to empower the users... but we don't want to make them feel like they are alone in this big forest. Good stuff coming!
-Trained people are going to make money - we need to help them get the skills.
-Interesting - it's often not when people are slow that they want to get all their stuff together, but it's often when they are busy and they feel like, yes, I need help, I need to get organized, I need to get things together.
-Certificate of training - makes them feel like they have value.
-Steve would also like to work into doing some workshops in some big cities, maybe do some consulting, networking, that could be some great work
-Possibly Texas for April training - that could be a really neat opportunity
-Work some mini sessions in Denver. That could be huge! Charge for the mini sessions, you have so many potential workers or people teaching.
-Shari, was also expressing that you could do an 8 hour session or something....then it was inputted that you can break it up with some flex time, but then you can say from here to here we are covering this (i.e. 9-11 E/R's, 12-2 B.S., 3-5 ???? whatever you want).... maybe give yourself an hour in-between the sessions so that they can network and you can move on to your next training on time... etc. That could be a great setup
-Or schedule some time and create sectioned mini sections so that you can have focused classes that they can pay for. Great stuff! Charge $25 a class.
-Chatting about someone in Texas that could set us up with something - a venue, etc., etc.
*Mini sessions in Denver - because Denver could use a training session every month for sure - take care of the user base in Colorado, keep things going here
-Longer training elsewhere
-All sorts of stuff - have specific topics, or even industry specific topics, you could have a rep/consultant only class
-With the mini sessions - if we set it up for a focused topic and ask people to pay, then we do not stray from that either, that is where the focus needs to be
-Trying to get more people to the Logan trainings.
