SAP Business One for Small and Medium Enterprises

Constant innovation, change and advancement is the key to survival in the highly competitive business world. Growth and expansion of the business should not overwhelm the enterprise but rather it must be accompanied by development in human resource as well as in organizational systems and tools.

Enterprise resource planning should be on top of the priorities of the Small and Medium Businesses (SMBs) and it is highly recommended that they utilize a highly reliable ERP system such as SAP Business One.

SAP Business One can help them manage their respective businesses and automate many back office functions from accounting, CRM, supply chain management and purchasing. 

But the big question is where do you get SAP Business One in the Philippines? 

Mustard Seed Systems Corporation, a business solutions provider company for Small and Medium Businesses, is one of the major partners of SAP in the Philippines.  They believe that it very important that the country's SMBs would be properly equipped with the right systems and tools is in preparation of the ASEAN Economic Community (ASEAN integration) starting this year. Mustard Seed is among the few providers of SAP Business One Philippines that offer very affordable rates for those who would want to implement the system.

According to Osler Fajardo, Managing Director of Mustard Seed, they take pride in their very simple and out-of-the box way of implementing SAP Business One in two steps which sets them apart from other providers. They make sure that the make the implementation as simple as possible and they make sure that the selling cycle as short as possible too. 

SAP Business One has a robust array of features.  Businesses may not be needing the whole full pack features of SAP Business One in practice. Thus, by being open to the clients as to what can be delivered and what the limitations of the implementation are, the whole process can be streamlined and a direct implementation pattern can be made. Mustard Seed will make sure that it will be tailored-fit depending on your business' needs.

Top 6 Reasons Why You Should Attend the BDJ Beauty Social 2015

Moving to a new, strange place without friends can be quite depressing however, it was not the case for me when I moved to Manila in 2010. I was lucky to become part of the BDJ community as a "bella." Yes, BDJ is not just about owning that beautiful and inspiring planner, Belle de Jour Power Planner but it was a community of empowered women who wants to live life to the fullest. 

Being a "bella" has its perks, I was able to check new places and establishments in a good deal by utilizing the coupons included in the planner plus, I got exclusive invites to the BDJ events and meet new friends. Although, I won't be attending this year's beauty social since I am already in Bacolod, I am inviting all my friends and readers with or without the BDJ planner to attend this fun and exciting gathering of empowered women.

A WAHMderful Weekend that Changed My Life. Find out how it can change yours too.

I have been your typical employee for more than 8 years. Right after college, I was dutifully employed in a non-government organization for 3 years having to work as a technical writer, researcher and a project development officer. Then, I decided to do a career shift in the BPO industry which enabled me to assume different roles in a span of 5 years as HR personnel and as a CSR/TSR/Sales Specialist. 

I do not regret anything about working in these industries. Actually, I am very thankful that the different roles led me to acquire a skill set that has been helpful in my journey through my work-at-home career. Though it took me a while to figure out what I really want to do for a living, I am thankful for the WAHMderful Weekend that changed my life. 

It all started when I won an invite from DSM/ Quality for Life Philippines, one of the sponsors of the WAHMderful Weekend 2013. I did not know anyone who was going and I only got an invitation for one.  It was my first time to attend an event full of strangers alone. With a leap of faith and uncertainty of why am I attending -- I went there because I was curious to find out more about working from home. 

The first person I met was Ginger Arboleda who was very friendly and I did not know that she was one of the organizers. She gave me a kit and I seated at the farthest table at the back. I was just listening to the speakers but did not really participate in the Q&A portion. 

On the later part of the program, there was a mini-group discussion with respective facilitators depending on the topic you are interested. I couldn't remember all the groups but I decided to join the group of Marge Aberasturi and Jennifer Tan who talked about being a VA or a Virtual Assistant. They gave us a background on Virtual Assistance and how to get clients. They also discussed what skills are on demand, etc. 

After a month, I was able to land my first VA job for Full Life Cube with Best author and inspiration speaker Teresa Gumap-as Dumadag and then the rest is history. 

Now, I am happy being a freelancer who works from home handling different clients as a virtual assistant. I am also able to manage my online party store and had started my own blog, My Metro Lifestyle. 

Indeed, it was one event that totally changed my life and I would be forever thankful for attending it. And now, I am inviting you to attend it as well and find out how it change your life too. 

The Work at Home Expo 2015

The WAH Expo is an annual one-day event of talks and mini workshops focused on encouragement and empowerment of Filipino home professionals and those aspiring to be one. This is not just limited to virtual assistants but anyone who is working from home as a entrepreneur, freelancer or even planning to be one in the future. The Work at Home Expo 2015 is the best place to find out and get more information about working at home, network and meet people whom you can work or collaborate with. 

This is will be held on September 26, 2015 at the Bayanihan Events Center, Pioneer St. Kapitolyo, Pasig City. For more details about the program, scheduled talks, you may visit their official website. This is brought to you by Manila Workshops and the WAHMderful community. 

Once again, I am encouraging all of you to attend this expo and find out how it can change your life. If you don't want a career shift, it is also a good place to meet new and WAHMderful friends. 

A Tech Store That Can Make Our Dream Come True

When we moved to Bacolod,Val and I decided to have a simplier life which actually made our plans and goals change. In the next 3-4 years, we are hoping to have the sustainable and organic farm that we have always dreamed about. We were inspired to have this after watching this video from you tube. 

It shows a perfect model for urban sustainable agriculture. It features organically grown food enough to feed their family and actually sell to local consumers, bio diesel technology, claypot irrigation system and solar panels. 

We are hoping to realize this dream and become a model to our communities that change is possible. However, it was a surprise to find out that a tech store can help us actualize this project by providing affordable solar panels and lights. 

I am happy to announce that CDR-King, a one-stop media provider introduces another green technology as it brings solar powered outdoor lights available in the market. With a 6-hour solar charging, it can give hours of light throughout the night. 

What's good about this is that, the investment is only minimal and you can save on your electricity bill in the long run. Apart from that, the usage of solar energy will ensure that we will never run out of energy especially now that there is a looming energy crisis that led to rotating brownouts in Mindanao and Visayas.
