Sage 100

Just as an aside - we are working on a project to capture critical pieces of technical information that is shared from within this group and put them into an Evernote notebook. We're brainstorming ways to best organize the information since Evernote is very much a free form notebook - for now you can look at info at - https://www.evernote.com/pub/mas90guru/sage100 This collection of 90 Minds knowledge has become so important that I'm using it on almost every upgrade. Whenever I spot something here -- or whenever an upgrade is a little odd -- I am making note of all the issues and placing them in Evernote. Does it duplicate Sage? Yep Does it duplicate Socialcast? Yep Then why also Evernote? A. 100% portable - can sync these to your laptop, smartphone B. Easier to search than both Sage or Socialcast C. Easier to share - with both members and customers (individual pages can be shared) I am considering more extensive use of Evernote for customers on a higher level of support with me. It's possible I could create their own private company Evernote notebook of configuration information specific to their system, allow them access to support KB. Just an FYI of one thing we are trying to create an even better KB for everyone in the group.

This sounds like a GREAT addition to any consultant's toolbox!

This is very stimulating. How do you get the items to Evernote. cut and paste? Or is there a more automated trick?

@WayneSchulz - Thanks, this is great! Question for you: if in the course of using these notes we find something to add to one of them, what should we do?

@JerryNorman I use either copy/paste or one of the Evernote browser extensions.

Phil's question: I'm no expert in this, but isn't that modification process essentially what wiki's are all about? I don't want to over-complicate an simple, effective idea, but we probably ought to have some idea ahead how far down that collobarate-after-initial-creation road we want to go?

I'm done sticking my thumb up my ass waiting for group consensus (Tip: it will never come) .... the 90/10 rule will be in play. 90% of the people think it's a great idea so long as they don't have to lift a finger, pay a penny or remember how to use it. You ask and ask and ask and basically we wring our hands. I moved ahead. Have a kick ass DropBox that I use on all my installs. Have a growing Evernote that I use too. Keep refining my required annual support agreements. Beyond a very small core - most are content to lurk and feel entitled - and this is not directed to you Jerry - - it is an overall observation of group dynamics. Happy Monday ;-)

And present plans is that this will be a full 90 Minds tool for people who are actively collaborating online. It will not be something that people can pay a couple bucks to join us and then lurk through all our resources.
