Working with Shannon on content for the adilas master plan. Finished up the enterprise level content (see below). We then reread the whole value add-on core model page.

Here is the content we came up with for the Enterprise level:

Level five of the value add-on core is what we are calling enterprise, or the enterprise level. Not every client or corporation needs this level of interaction and functionality. That is why this level is the top most level of the value add-on core model. For those who do need it, it becomes the unlimited top end and allows for all kinds of functionality between multiple locations or multiple corporations. Enterprise could be a number of different things, but essentially you start getting into a scenario where you have one master corporation that controls smaller entities. Think Sci-Fi (science fiction), top level control or dominance. You always have the aliens with a master ship that controls all of the sub ships and sub armies attacking the planet. Below we will paint a small picture of how this may look. Once again, this is not required but has huge potential for those who want and need it.

Back to the business Sci-Fi levels... In a world building analogy, imagine a universe level. You have multiple planets, solar systems, clusters, all kinds of things that are interacting together. Normally, most of your transactions that happen inside of adilas are on a single world, or on a single planet type level. That is what we would call a corporation or business entity. In the enterprise realm, you are starting to mix and blend worlds and/or corporations. This is great for all kinds of businesses where you have either franchises, mother/daughter type corporations, vendor/distributor, or entities that are somewhat connected and have either shared financials or shared ownership.

Inside of the enterprise level, we have already defined a number of pieces with data flow going both up and down the chain, big to small or small to big. Data flow is really important and helps with communications and reporting. The real value of that communication channel is too broad for this discussion, but it is essential for enterprise level transactions. You could also add any amount of custom code to create rules, automations, functionality, special relationships, or define any other need for the flow of data. Custom code at this enterprise level is how you fine tune your processes and cater the software application to your business needs.

One of the goals of an enterprise level system is normalization, meaning normalizing or standardizing your data. You can have multiple different businesses, all running on adilas, and they can all use the same terminology and the same type of accounts or landing places for your data. This allows data to flow up and down and in between worlds to help with reporting and business intelligence. It then allows you to pull standardized reports so much easier than pulling individual reports and trying to blend them together with spreadsheets or other methods. Depending on the size of the company, some of this normalization can be very cost intensive and even painful. Sometimes there are even teams setup specifically for the purpose of extracting and normalizing data from multiple software systems. The adilas enterprise level has incredible value and helps to overcome some big pain points for traditional companies. Think business intelligence on an enterprise or universe type level.

Here are some other benefits of the enterprise level:
- Master lists or libraries of data - items, vendors, customers, photo galleries, etc.
- Shared loyalty points and gift cards
- Multi-locational or multi-corporational
- Bulk tools, rules, processes, and scheduled tasks
- Consolidated banking and financials
- Consolidated reporting and business intelligence
- Permission levels and security
- Automated routines and processes
- Options for custom code

Amazing potential in the enterprise level! This is the top most level of the value add-on core. You get to mix, blend, and use any of these sub pieces to create your perfect dream business, track and record your story, ease your pain, and have the necessary pieces to help your business thrive!
