How to Avoid an ERP Cloud Migration Nightmare

Forbes is great at putting together excellent resources for ERP users, and this one is no exception. Planning any type of ERP upgrade or migration can be complex, but it can quickly get out of hand if the proper steps aren't taken - including deciding what to keep and what to change.

From The Blog: A New White Paper

Well, after a lengthy battle of procrastination, it is finally ready (almost).  Its ready, but when I went to post it to the website today, I found that my website is not working correctly.  Several months ago my site was destroyed by a hack.  I restored the entire site and everything was great, but since then something else has gone wrong.  So hang tight, as soon as the issue is resolved, I will announce the new white paper's availability.

Who's Smarter than The Panda?

Well many of you (95 people) went to answer the contest question last month: What does TUXEDO stand for in the PeopleSoft world? Answer: Transactions for Unix, Extended for Distributed Operations!

Surprisingly I received only one correct response from Don O. from Kentucky and his Starbucks gift card is already in need of a refill! My good friend Ian C. from IC Technology came up with the creative answer of: "I am quite sure it stands for frustration, stress, and anxiety attacks!"
 

Stay tuned for another contest coming soon!

Message from Wade:

Happy Halloween!  I was just out in Edmonton Alberta this past weekend and it SNOWED! As Ned Stark has been known to say "Winter is Coming".  

We are working on system review #10 of the year right now, and it is becoming increasingly clear;  Technology is advancing so quickly organizations are having a hard time determining who, what, when, where and WHY when it comes to their ERP Systems. If you are in this boat, trust me your not alone, and the best part is: The Smart Panda is ready to help!

Panda + Community

For the first time in months there were no buildings to jump off, roads to run or activities to be done in the community. However, we did get to have some turkey up in Canada!  Happy Thanksgiving to all the Canadians and Happy Thanksgiving to all the Americans next month.

At The Smart Panda we were thrilled to help over 30 deserving people get a delicious turkey diner earlier this month.

Next we are ramping up for Christmas Care!  The St Thomas Railway City
 Rotary Club will be selling teddy bears for $20.00 and if you would like to get one let me know and/or if you would like to purchase one and donate it to Christmas Care we would be thrilled to make that happen! Email us at:  panda@thesmartpanda.com
