Synopsis

The overview of Hibernate (object-relational mapping) will be presented in the seminar. ERP/CRM solutions are becoming very essential piece of software solutions for many SMEs.  This may be contributed to the competitiveness and higher cost of operations in a ‘borderless’ business world.  However, such a new business environment has imposed higher pressure to the SMEs because of lack of IT knowledge and experiences in choosing of ERP/CRM solutions, implementing and maintaining the running software.  Some even learned it the hard way.  This is a very painful experience because investment of time and cost yield no return.  This evening talk tends to share a ERP/CRM open source solution, its features/functions, implementation experiences and lessons learned from this exercise.
