Richard Duffy put together a nice video about how to publish your implementation of Acumatica as a Google Chrome App. This isn’t anything fancy from a technology standpoint, but I think that it provides a nice user experience and has the “cool factor” which is very important.
I personally am a big fan of using Google Chromebooks (click here) for internal training. It’s very easy to bring a stack of ten Google Chromebooks into a conference room, setup a projector for sharing your screen, and conduct a simple one hour training session. It makes it easy to have training sessions on a regular (maybe weekly) basis. If you had to carry in ten computers, ten computer monitors, ten keyboards, and ten computer mice then you would be much less likely to conduct regular training sessions. The other advantage is the cost. I just checked Amazon.com and they are selling Google Chromebooks for $250 (click here) which is very reasonable.
Google Chromebooks make it easy for you to conduct simple regular training sessions in your organization and regular training sessions are very important to ensuring a successful Acumatica implementation.
Here is the video from Richard:
Sounds good. Thanks Richard.
Hi…Glad you found this one useful….it also works on the Mac with the Chrome Apps Launcher as well.
Let me know if there are other areas you are interested in and I’ll build some content for you as well!
Richard
Nice. Thanks for the tip Trevor.
If you have a Mac you can get a similar effect, making Acumatica look like a APP rather than running in a browser by using http://fluidapp.com. Provides a full screen Acumatica instance without the toolbar, URL bar etc.
