Building an ERP-Framework with the SharpDevelop-Core

Hi there, long time no see, but now I have a realy interesting issue for blogging.

Currently there is a project at my UAS for which I and some fellow students want to realize a ERP-Framework (Enterprise Resource Planning aka Warenwirtschaft in German).

The idea behind it is, that we build Add-Ins on the #D Core for functionalities like database access, user rigths management etc.. On top of these, we will build plugins for the real ERP stuff, like customer management, invoice system and so on.

Currently we are in the planning stage and thought we ask the community, how it thinks about that idea. At the moment there is no thinking about positioning the software on the market, it's just about producibility.

I'm looking forward to read your comments.

Regards, Oliver

Protean is a COM based two tier object oriented ERP solution. The customizing of the application can be done via COM Objects for each Business Object. The framework behind is not open but my technical skills in programming the Protean-API gives me the possibilty to see behind the scenes (I already was in theire Lab in Boston!) and may this helps to assist you by creating a framework.

	William said: Dear Oliver, Title of "Building an ERP-Framework with the SharpDevelop-Core" project excited my interest. Most of ERP framework behind is not open, user are difficult to enhance it with their business process rules. I beleve an open framework is a MUST for ERP roadmap. I have experence in Inventory System design & programming. And I would like to join the team of the framework development. What is the status so far ? Regards, William Mai 6, 2006 6:26 AM
	OliverRau said: Hi there, Yes, the project is still active. We had currently some trouble with the planning and the time, because we had to do some other projects, too. The current planning is therefore a bit limited, which means, that we have 3 main topics, which we want to realize till the project ends at the university: - Database access (via NHibernate) - Update / Addin Manager (to verify the modules and their authenticity) - User / Rights Management (selfexplaining) As soon as we have some "nice to read" docs, I'll post them here. After the project has finished at the university, I'd like to make it a community project and all your knowledge or help would be appreciated :) So far for now, I'll keep you up to date about the progress Regards, Oliver Juni 15, 2006 10:39 PM
