If you are enthusiast of SEO and internet publishing, regardless whatever is your motivation: increasing your website google page rank or yahoo web rank, getting more publicity to your name as internet publisher or advertiser, general college education credits, etc, we encourage you to familiarize yourself with publishing strategies, FAQ and guidelines
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
1.	Picture or Video size.  In the case of picture you can go slightly higher in height and width and in the case of movie attachment we recommend you to stay conservative and use something like 340x200, if you are addressing to general public or to the “blue”
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
2.	Author or company logo.  This is typically created in GIF format, as it allows you to place it above background picture and phone
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
3.	Picture file size restrictions.  At this time digital photography are capped at 5MB, and for media portal hard drive space it is OK, check with the publication site, where you publish, for our site it is fine
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
4.	Video file size restrictions.  Well, here you should be moderate and restrict your movie clip to 15 MB
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
5.	Press Release and google adsense.  If you are on the tight budget for your internet marketing campaign and you still need to generate reasonable number of internet leads, please relax and do not panic, if your media portals include internet ads with your publications: google yahoo, MSN do not downgrade pages, if they have ads
&lt;br /&gt;

	<title>Articles Available for Publication - Gaining in Google</title>
	<link>http://www.softwaremarketingresource.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=5579#5579</link>
	<description>Author: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.softwaremarketingresource.com/forum/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&amp;u=65&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;feedforall&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Subject: Gaining in Google&lt;br /&gt;
Posted: Mon May 12, 2008 2:14 pm (GMT 0)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Google tends to not rank new domains. In an effort to deter spammers from generating new websites, Google has implemented filters for new websites, which means that it can be a challenge for a new website to rank in Google's organic search results until they are deemed trustworthy. 
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The Sandbox
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Many websites are relegated to what is called &amp;quot;the sandbox&amp;quot; while Google makes a decision about what to do with them. It is strange to think that Google cares, as if Google has some sort of human attributes. Whether Google really cares or not is really not the point -- the point is: there are factors that help Google discern whether a site should be relegated to the sandbox, or whether the site should appear in the organic search results. The factors are all part of Google's algorithm to rank sites, with the ultimate goal being to provide searchers with the best possible search results. Here are some factors that influence whether a site is destined for the sandbox, or is able to join the party... 
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Age &amp;amp; Maturity 
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
With age comes wisdom. The search power house looks not only at the age of the domain, but also at the history of the domain. If an old domain has recently changed hands, it might find that it drops from the rankings. In hope of making a quick buck, spammers will often buy domains that have high page ranks, or are considered &amp;quot;trusted&amp;quot; by the search giant. But Google considers this factor as part of their ranking algorithm in order to thwart such attempts by spammers to manipulate search results and rankings. 
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Optimization 
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Optimization can impact whether a website is destined for the sandbox. The key is finding a balance and allowing optimization to appear natural. Optimization should be a tool to assist search engines in ranking a specific webpage; it is not intended to manipulate search engines. Webmasters should include keywords in the web page title, description, URL. Keywords should also be used in anchor text in text links, alt tags, and integrated into the body of the web page. 
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Links
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Is the website loved by reputable sources? The links need to be from related and reputable sources, which are popular themselves. It is best to gradually amass links over time. 
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
History Of Visits 
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Google tracks how long visitors stay on a domain using their Google Toolbar, search requests, and click-throughs in the organic search engine results. If a historic pattern is established that web visitors clicks through to a domain but never actually spend any time on that website, it is clear that the value of the website is questionable. 
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Content Freshness
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Google prefers a website that is current. Google gives better rankings to websites that maintain existing content with current information, and adds new content on a regular basis. Google is partial to an old site with continuous new content that is updated on a frequent basis. 
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Keywords
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
You should target keywords that are less common. If you are attempting to compete for highly popular and competitive keywords, you will have a difficult time. It is far easier to rank well for obscure (but relevant) keywords and phrases. 
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Avoiding Google's sandbox can be a challenge for even the most experienced webmasters. Considering the volume of traffic and number of searches conducted each day in the search giant, appearing in the top search results for critical keywords and phrases can make or break an online business. Take care to avoid Google's sandbox, so your business can benefit from Google's traffic.

	<title>Articles Available for Publication - Tips for Choosing a Domain</title>
	<link>http://www.softwaremarketingresource.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=5578#5578</link>
	<description>Author: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.softwaremarketingresource.com/forum/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&amp;u=65&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;feedforall&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Subject: Tips for Choosing a Domain&lt;br /&gt;
Posted: Sun May 11, 2008 6:59 pm (GMT 0)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Choose a Domain
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Choosing a domain is one of the first steps in establishing an online presence. Changing a domain after-the-fact can be time consuming, and can be harmful to search engine ranking, so it is best to get it right the first time around. Follow these simple steps to select a domain name that will represent your online brand... 
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
1. Nice Neighborhood 
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Stick with .com or .net domains for businesses, .edu for schools, and .org for non-profit organizations. Some search experts say that any other extensions will have a more difficult time ranking well in the search engines. 
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
2. Easy To Verbalize And Understand 
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Domain names should be easy to verbalize. Often in conversations, similar sounds are difficult to discern. Select a domain name that is clear and easy to understand without having to repeat it. 
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
3. Easy To Spell
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Select a domain that is easy to spell. Certain words can be spelled in a variety of ways, and this can cause confusion and result in people being unable to easily locate your website. Use a domain name that is intuitive and easy to spell.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
4. Keep It Brief 
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Shorter domains are easy to remember, so if possible, avoid selecting a domain name that is excessively long. The domain name can not exceed 63 characters, and may consist of letters, numbers, and hyphens. If you decide on a hyphenated domain name, be sure to articulate it so that it is easily understood.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
5. More Than One 
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Domains are reasonably inexpensive, so register multiple domain names that relate to your primary domain name. The additional domains can be permanently redirected to the main domain. Also, purchase domains that use common misspellings, plurals, or that alleviate any confusion. This way you will be sure to capture all of your traffic. 
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
6. Extend It 
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Protect your brand by purchasing common extensions for your domain (ie. .net, .org, etc). And consider purchasing country extensions if you sell globally (ie. .uk, .au, .fr, etc). 
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
7. Written Form
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The written form of the domain should be clear and not cause unnecessary confusion. If the domain contains multiple words, make sure that the written form cannot be misinterpreted. 
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
8. Make It Memorable. 
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Select a domain name that is easy for people to remember. 
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
9. Related And Relevant 
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The domain name should relate to your core business. Building a brand does not end offline; brand continuity should encompass all aspects of your business, both online and offline. A related relevant domain should reinforce your brand and corporate identity. 
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
10. Check Trademarks 
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
As with any name, be sure to check carefully for trademark infringements. Do not take chances by infringing on another company's brand. The extra effort might save you from a court case or hours of expensive legal maneuvering. Search the USPTO website at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.uspto.gov&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://www.uspto.gov&lt;/a&gt; for any existing trademarks.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
11. Brand vs Keywords 
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Many webmasters struggle with the decision to use a brand as their domain, or to incorporate keywords into their domain name in an effort to rank better in the search engines. The decision does not need to be absolute. Domains are inexpensive, and redirects are easy to set up, so there is no reason you can not purchase both brand and keyword domain names. 
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
12. Location Specific 
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Unless you only serve a specific region, avoid using the location in the domain name. A geo-specific domain will limit a company's ability to expand into other regions as it grows. 
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
And before doing anything, use the database at Network Solutions to determine whether a desired domain name is actually available or not. 
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
NetSol - &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.networksolutions.com&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://www.networksolutions.com&lt;/a&gt; 
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Selecting a domain name is an important step in establishing a web business. Take your time and think carefully about selecting a domain, as it will be the hallmark of your online presence. 
&lt;br /&gt;

	<title>Articles Available for Publication - Submit Video Press Release with MPG or AVI movie file</title>
	<link>http://www.softwaremarketingresource.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=5577#5577</link>
	<description>Author: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.softwaremarketingresource.com/forum/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&amp;u=429&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;akarasev&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Submit Video Press Release with MPG or AVI movie file attachment – Pegas Planet
&lt;br /&gt;
If you plan to extend your company news, personal internet article or author blog with short video rollick, here we would like to give you guidelines.  Press releases in some cases could be placed to trusted internet media sites for free and, considering this fact, you can beef up your internet page rank, improving SEO or head out of such traps as google sandbox, for example
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
1.	PR header.  Here you should incorporate few of your keywords as well as make this name very natural.  Press Release typically allows you to make its header longer than the header in article or weblog
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
2.	Introduction.  Here you should continue adding your keywords.  Plus this introduction section typically is copied via RSS feeds to news announcing web sites.  Considering these facts, you may decide to make your introduction a bit intriguing, encouraging readers to read the main section of your video news
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
3.	Author or company logo.  If this is just photo, then BMP or JPEG should do the job.  However if this is clipart or something which should slide over background graphical image, the make it GIF
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
4.	Main Section.  Consider enumerated paragraphs, as in this publication, or open each paragraph with bullet.  In main section, as SEO strategy, consider placing exact keywords combinations
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
5.	Video file attachment.  Here the question is about video file format.  Considering modern PC screen resolution to be in average 1024x768 (try to be conservative and do not expect people surfing from public libraries use wide screens), please consider making your movie clip resolution something like 320x240, and deploy either MPG or AVI
&lt;br /&gt;

Submit News with Video and Photo Attachments: MPG, AVI, BMP, GIF, JPG – Pegas Planet
&lt;br /&gt;
Writing and Posting Articles, Press Releases, Internet Blogs or Web Logs and News should be considered as important direction of your internet marketing, SEO, ecommerce and lead generation campaign.  This is especially efficient if you are taking small niche on Nationwide market, meaning that you are not local store, but render your services and ship your products USA and Canada nationwide plus potentially internationally .  Please review the following PR writing guidelines:
&lt;br /&gt;
1.	News or Article header.  Here you should include your product or service keywords, but keep header to look natural.  Include each keyword only once, you do not need to double keyword in your blog header
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
2.	Introduction Section.  Here you may include more related keywords.  Good idea to make intro section to look a bit intriguing or be to some extent paradoxical.  Again – do not overburden it with your keywords, however feel free to include new combinations here
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
3.	Article Body.  It is very nice when news main section paragraphs are enumerated or each new begins with bullet.  Some editors and PR submission sites require additional space line between the paragraphs.  Article main section may be stretched over one or even two pages and here it is good idea to include likely keywords exact phrases to secure your blog to show up in so-called deep or structured internet query, when internet google, yahoo or msn query contains more than five words
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
4.	Video and Photo attachments.  If you’d like to compete with such sites as youtube, google images, google movie, then you should attach video or photo files: author or company logo in the form of GIF, BMP or JPG file and illustrative movie in MPG or AVI or photo illustration
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
5.	If you are new to press release writing, you should consider the strategy first to probe your author pen on new submission sites or media portals, where the criteria to the news quality are more democratic.  
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

	<title>Articles Available for Publication - Great Plains Installation and Implementation overview</title>
	<link>http://www.softwaremarketingresource.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=5575#5575</link>
	<description>Author: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.softwaremarketingresource.com/forum/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&amp;u=429&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;akarasev&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Subject: Great Plains Installation and Implementation overview&lt;br /&gt;
Posted: Fri May 09, 2008 6:00 pm (GMT 0)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Microsoft Dynamics GP, or also commonly known as Great Plains is Microsoft SQL Server database application and at the same time it has its own IDE and programming language, known as Great Plains Dexterity.  Dexterity in turn is written on C as a shell.  Recent versions, such as 10.0, 9.0 are tightly integrated with Microsoft Outlook, plus version 10.0 has integration with Sharepoint and SQL Server Reporting Services (or SRS).  Having said that, however we would like to inform you that installation itself is streamlined and not overly difficult.  Let’s review:
&lt;br /&gt;
1.	Server Side.  When installation wizard loads application files, it launches Dexterity Utilities to create DYNAMICS and then company databases.  Here you should interact and enter maximum account length and number of segments.  We recommend you in order to install lesson company to have at least three segments and length of the first three should be 3, 4 and 2.  If you would like to know what is really going on and which objects are installed – atomic stored procedures (needed for Dexterity engine to manage tables by Dex indexes), tables: master, setup, work, open and historical, SQL stored procedures including eConnect encrypted ones
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
2.	Workstation.  Here when you add users workstations, for versions 9.0 and newer you don’t need to create ODBC connection manually – installation does it for you.  If you are curious and would like to understand technical side, please review Dynamics.set file to review modules installed.  Each module, listed in this set file has three lines: one for code logic dictionary, one for modified forms dictionary and one for modified reports dictionary.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
3.	Implementation.  As GP is mid-size business ERP application, to implement it you need professional GP implementation consultant, who should help you install software, map business processes, perform data conversion and migration from legacy MRP to GP, train users, modify reports and customize the system if required
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Syncro Soft Announces New Release of Oxygen XML Editor, Schema Editor and XSLT/XQuery Debugger.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Release date: May 9, 2008
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Version 9.2 introduces a new XML Author edition specially tuned for content authors providing a well designed interface for XML editing by keeping only the relevant authoring features. The major additions in Oxygen XML Editor 9.2 are related to the WYSIWYG-like editing support and in particular to the DITA support. The general visual editing improvements include displaying the resolved content in the editor and navigation through links. With the new DITA features that include a new DITA map editor, actions for inserting conref links, a tight integration of the latest version of the DITA Open Toolkit, Oxygen XML Editor becomes the leading DITA editor and the easiest to use. Other improvements are browsing of XML databases using WebDAV connections, better handling of Chinese, Japanese and Korean (CJK) text, support for the Intel® XML Software Suite and multiple component updates.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
For the complete list of new features and more information please visit 
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.oxygenxml.com/index.html#new-version&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://www.oxygenxml.com/index.html#new-version&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
New in version 9.2:
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Oxygen now offers a version specially suited for XML authoring enhancing the authors productivity by providing a clean and easy to use interface. The new Oxygen XML Author is available both as a separate product (standalone and Eclipse plugin) and also as a part of Oxygen XML Editor. 
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The DITA support reaches maturity with the new additions in version 9.2. The new DITA maps manager allows viewing and editing DITA map files and also acts as a project manager allowing to open different topics for editing. The tool chain for generating DITA output in a multitude of formats (XHTML, PDF, HTML, JavaHelp, Eclipse Help, DocBook, etc.) is ready to use out of the box as Oxygen tightly integrates the latest version of the DITA Open Toolkit through its normal transformation scenarios support. There is also special support for easily inserting content references. 
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Version 9.2 provides also significant improvements for the generic WYSIWYG editing support. The authors can have an overview of the actual document with the included/referred content presented in the editor. The support for navigation using links makes going from a reference to the referred content just a click away. 
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
To enhance productivity with XML schema validation and XSLT transformation using Intel® XML Software Suite, Oxygen XML Editor 9.2 provides special support to easily configure and use the Intel XML Software Suite in its normal development work flow.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
There are also improvements in the support for XML Schema, Schematron, XML databases and XML editing.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
A number of components were updated to their latest version. These include the DITA Open Toolkit (1.4.2.1), the DocBook XML framework (schema version 5.0 and stylesheets version 1.73.2) and the Saxon B XSLT processor from Saxonica (9.0.0.4). Oxygen XML editor supports also the Saxon SA 9.0.0.4 (that requires a separate license from Saxonica).

Submit Blog, Article, PR with Logo: BMP, JPG, GIF formats – Pegas Planet
&lt;br /&gt;
Photo or picture file attachments are becoming norm and even requirement for nowadays news posters.  If you are journalist or press release writer, you should support your publications with photo and video illustrations.  We invite you to post your articles to Pegas Planet Media portal, where we are supporting novice writers and internet blogs authors, making first step in their journalism.  Let’s review guidelines:
&lt;br /&gt;
1.	Logo formats.  Please consider making your company logos in GIF as there you can specify transparent areas for logo naturally fit to background pictures.  If this is not a concern, then you can deploy JPG, BMP as well
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
2.	Picture size.  Here you should consider contemporary monitors, where resolution is probably on average 1024x768.  Of course, you have something like 1600x1200, but typical internet surfers do it from public places or from their offices, where monitor resolution is typically lower
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
3.	Author small photo.  If, instead of logo you place author photo, make it relatively small to follow the rules of genre
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
4.	Movie.  If you like to support your PR with film, try to make it fit to bandwidth restrictions as well as monitor fraction size – MPG, AVI formats will do the job
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
5.	Why should you go beyond old-fashion text only posting?  This is up to your believe in modern technology – if you think text will do the job in placing your news high in google, yahoo, msn page rank, then you should only post text articles.  However if you believe that media is breaking text-only borders and internet readers expect more from your publications, the you should place photo and video blogs, press releases, news and articles
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Submit Article, Press Release with JPG, GIF, BMP author logo and photo attachment 
&lt;br /&gt;
Internet news writing of journalism is changing and it is common requirement for writers to support their news, blog, PR or article with illustrative materials – typically author or company logo and one additional photo.  In certain cases you would even like to go further and upload video, but this will be subject for our next article
&lt;br /&gt;
1.	How photo or picture is automatically placed on our news outline?  The answer is simple – typically it is placed just below the first paragraph.  Author or company logo is usually smaller file and it is often placed just below author name (if article) or company name (if press release)
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
2.	Photo size.  We recommend you to analyze typical user monitor resolution.  At this time, we would even recommend you to be conservative about internet reader monitor: 800x600 would be good assumption.  This makes it feasible to restrict your photo illustration to maximum 400x300 to give you the idea.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
3.	Which graphical format to use for your photo or logo file?  Our recommendation is to make your own research, you should probably be aware about such cool feature of GIF file as be transparent, in other words you can allow transparent areas of GIF photo to be placed upon another background photo image
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
4.	Photo support and SEO.  Most of the search engines at this time: google, yahoo, msn, altavista are in the image recognition initiation phase, meaning that it is not yet a decisive factor, but technology is leaping as time goes, meaning that as time goes and your web page will be aging and getting its page rank, chances are higher with photo, logo and movie or video support
&lt;br /&gt;

Submitting Article, PR and Blog – fuelling your website traffic, SEO and Page rank improvement
&lt;br /&gt;
Journalism and writing was all the historical time good way to become known in your industry, product expert, or simply popular.  Internet is also similar in this sense – it is media, not paper, but electronic, but still similar.  The fact that internet space is so cheap and at the same time available for worldwide auditoria – it opens unlimited opportunities for writing and publishing your articles, press releases, weblogs, internet news with photos and videos.  Be creative and share your knowledge and your site will find the way to become popular.  Let’s review suggestions and guidelines:
&lt;br /&gt;
1.	News Genre.   You should understand the rules of the genre: article, PR, blog and news have different criteria, especially for editors to pick the relevant work for being selected for publishing
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
2.	Article: here you need to be expert in what you are writing about.  Article doesn’t allow you to go emotional or guessing about something that is well known.  Article is objective knowledge.  Article is typically syndicated by media portals, and it allows you to place link back to your web site into about author section
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
3.	Press Release.  Here you are writing on behalf of your company, being in essence official spokesman.  You will see more restrictions, comparing to article up to the point that company should stay behind every promise or announcement in your press release
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
4.	Blog or weblog.  Here you can let your emotions to get exit and critique something, expressing your own opinion
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
5.	Internet News.  These publications are typically left to newspaper and magazine staff journalists, however you can try this genre in some of the liberal media portal or publication directories
&lt;br /&gt;

SAP Business One Implementation: simplicity, flexibility – Alba Spectrum
&lt;br /&gt;
SB1 ERP was originally designed in Israel and later on purchased by SAP as solution for small businesses.  It was successfully localized for major countries around the globe and current version 2007 is available in USA since the end of April 2008.  SAP BO covers broad functionality, but rather with simplified approach, meaning that it has just major features of such logics as Production, MRP, HR, Purchasing, Sales, Service, CRM, Financials, Inventory.   This accounting application is at this time on the rise it its ERP life cycle, as we can estimate
&lt;br /&gt;
1.	Simple ERP.  Imagine that you are small or mid size business and then tell if you know small business oriented ERP package, where discrete manufacturing is available as the feature.  SB1 has both production module, which is discrete manufacturing oriented, plus it has MRP in the form of MRP wizard
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
2.	Disassembly Production Order.  This is often needed functionality and again it is very rarely seen for small business ERP systems.  Disassembly order allows you to receive manufactured item back as return and then disassemble it and place parts back on their bins
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
3.	Customer Vendor Consolidation.  SB1 treats customers, vendors and prospects as business partners and it allows you to settle payments from customers with payments to vendors, where customer and vendor are the same entity.  Of course Business Partner should be duplicated as customer and vendor, however reconciliation works in B1 as customer vendor consolidation
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
4.	Flexibility.  SB1 often offer alternative logic in its standard flexible way.  This in turn means for you that you should first try to invent the procedural way to implement your possibly custom logic in SB1
&lt;br /&gt;

SAP Business One In Chicagoland: Implementation, Upgrade, Customization, Reporting
&lt;br /&gt;
Alba Spectrum, one of the leading nationwide ERP systems integrators is re-announcing its SB1 implementation, user training, modules selection, reports design and modification support practice in Chicago, IL metropolitan area.  This small and medium size business ERP is a good fit for Northern Illinois and North West Indiana light manufacturing and assembly industries, who are in essence Nationwide distributors of their products.  Let’s review SAP BO implementation bullets:
&lt;br /&gt;
1.	Licensing.  It is all-in-one per named user, however there are combinations, especially for CRM and web CRM components users: for service, for AR and for web only named users
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
2.	Discrete Manufacturing.  SB1 production and MRP modules cover small business manufacturing needs, plus they include out of the box such often required features as disassembly production order – this is when you are disassembling and placing the part back to your inventory warehouse bins
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
3.	Warranty Contracts.  To speak in general about generic ERP application, warranty contracts and service features should be in, but you not always expect them to be available for Small Business ERP, or at least not out of the box
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
4.	Pick and Pack in Inventory Control.  If you are shipping containers or boxes nationwide, you expect robust ERP functionality to track what is inside each unit
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
5.	Rentals Items.  SB1 has wonderful features of ERP flexibility, and we often see the case, when customer, originally requested specific custom feature to be programmer, as time of SB1 using progresses, finds its own way of replacing custom logic by adapting SAB Business One standard logic with specific procedure.  Rentals is very good example – you can deploy transfer to technician and return from technician as sample procedures to implement relevant inventory transfers between warehouses: rented out and items for rent for example
&lt;br /&gt;
