We prioritize and focus on members of the People, Ideas & Objects user community. They are one of our three competitive advantages. Quality ERP software can only be developed when users are involved. Through an innovative user community license, our user community members gain the authority, responsibility and means to affect the necessary changes in the oil & gas business model. This will provide North American producers with the most profitable means of oil & gas operations, everywhere and always.
Individuals interested in making the much needed changes to deal with oil & gas issues are welcome to join People, Ideas & Objects as user community members. Our users are compensated for work while involved in these software developments. We are establishing permanent oil & gas ERP software development capacity & capability to accommodate the changing needs of the industry. In addition, our user community members are licensed as the principal owners of a service provider in the reorganization of the administrative and accounting resources of the oil & gas industry. Their service provider organizations will deliver the People, Ideas & Objects software and their services through our Cloud Administration & Accounting for Oil & Gas service we are building. The scope and scale of the Preliminary Specifications modules are well beyond what could be expected of a volunteer community. North American oil & gas producers are a $800 billion industry. Our budget supports our user community in this difficult task and will fund them through to a successful conclusion. It will also fund them to transition to their operational service provider organizations.
To become a member of this community, please review the following.
Gain a strong understanding of the differences between using the Joint Operating Committee and six other Organizational Constructs in the Preliminary Specification. Differences between this system and traditional ERP systems. How these differences are captured in the Performance Evaluation, Analytics & Statistics, Research & Capabilities, Knowledge & Learning, Operations Management, Compliance & Governance, Financial Marketplace, Resource Marketplace, Accounting Voucher, Partnership Accounting, Petroleum Lease Marketplace, Blockchain, AI and Security & Access Control modules.
People, Ideas & Objects Preliminary Specification is an “addition” to Oracle Cloud ERP. Oracle's additions reflect they are deeply embedded in their offering and not application modules that sit on top of the Oracle offering. Prospective members of our user community should pay close attention to the 2022 and 2023 Oracle CloudWorld Conferences. There you’ll find the focus of Oracle’s and People, Ideas & Objects et al’s desire to engineer the generic (Oracle) and oil & gas related (People, Ideas & Objects et al) processes to deliver the ultimate value for the oil & gas industry.
To enhance our understanding of the dynamic and innovative nature we are seeking to build in oil & gas, I recommend downloading and studying Professor Giovanni Dosi's "Sources, Procedures and Microeconomic Effects of Innovation."
I own the copyright to the ideas presented in the blog, wiki, and overall software development. This Intellectual Property must be maintained and held in pristine condition for these ideas to help the industry. It must also be published for the benefit of all participants in this user community, their service provider organizations and the broader oil & gas economy. Therefore it is necessary that our user community members involved in these software developments have unencumbered access to all of these concepts to prepare derivative works. Both for software development purposes and for their own service provider organizations. The Copyright and End User License Agreement both provide this. And assign the derivative work done by each User, Developer and Project Manager etc. It will remain available for use by all other licensed users to prepare further derivative works. The fees paid to our user community members for this development work are the act of purchasing their Intellectual Property.
Members of our user community are compensated for their time and should consider this software development project a cornerstone of their service provider organization's future revenue and income. And particularly those Users that wish to establish their service provider organizations based on this software offering.
Management of copyright in this manner focuses the energies of the industry on one solution. The industry cannot have multiple software developments at once. The scope and scale of these developments and the critical nature of the industry's issues demand a comprehensive focus for success to be achieved.
Please submit these two deliverables for consideration in our user community.
Submit up to 2,500 words on how and what you could provide to this developing community. What are your business plans for yourself and your service provider? What area of focus will you be looking at to build value in the industry?
Submit a 5 minute video production introducing yourself and highlighting the detailed document.
Answering the following questions.
What was the most difficult issue you worked on and resolved?
Tell me the story of your life, what decisions did you make, and why did you make them?
What are your experiences in oil & gas, where you believe the industry could be more innovative if it had the software to define, support and enable it? What would that software look like and how could you contribute to its making? This will begin a discussion around membership within our user community etc. These summaries will be posted in the People's wiki and enable user search and discovery of like-minded people and resources. (Once our budget is secured, until then there will be absolute confidentiality to ensure people are protected from the producer's officers and directors potential retribution.)
Disintermediation through Information Technology is the process being applied through these developments. Where structured hierarchy cannot meet market demands, more efficient organization methods must be provided to meet consumer needs. It will be through the distinct competitive advantages of our user community members and their service providers that these more efficient methods are obtained in the software and services they develop. Competitive advantages such as the application of specialization and the division of labor, automation, innovation, leadership, integration, identification of conflict and contradictions, issue identification, issue resolution, creativity, collaboration, research, ideas, design, planning, thinking, negotiating, financing, observation, reasoning and judgment. People, Ideas & Objects values the contributions our users make to increasing the value of the greater oil & gas economy. Not the contacts you have. Proving it’s a different business world than today.
