Our Plan, Part IV
I am pleased with the audience that we have been able to generate through our blog and wiki. Our numbers are small for a website when we compare them to most sites, however, you have to consider we are talking about obscure oil and gas ERP systems. We’re also talking to a small subset of people who are the leaders within the industry. In that sense our numbers are very impressive. It is these people that we need to leverage in order to get our message out and begin the process of raising our budget.
My banishment from the industry over the past decade as a result of these ideas has lead me to lose direct contact with the industry. If I’m to cold call each of the producers we will have our first funds in about ten years from now. Which is not acceptable for anyone. What we need is the leadership of the user community to begin to assert themselves in the marketplace. Now is the time in which to spread the word amongst your peers and toss the Preliminary Specification, our budget and revenue model in front of the CEO’s and CFO’s of the producer firms you are currently engaged with. I can’t have people ask me how come my company hasn’t been asked to participate? Leverage of the potential members of the user community is the way that we’re going to be able to mitigate the time that it takes to deliver the software represented in the Preliminary Specification and the user community.
During these past 26 years I have attempted to herd cats on several occasions. So much so that I’ve sworn never do so again. And I am not asking the user community to undertake the herding of cats on my behalf. I am asking the user community to lead the oil and gas industry by bringing their own individual cat to the table. That will be more efficient and effective and provide us with a reduction of the time and frustration of one individual trying to do an impossible job under ridiculous time constraints.
Our user community is about leadership in the oil and gas industry. The administrative and accounting domains are the responsibility of the user community. As change occurs within the industry the user community will accommodate those changes on behalf of their clients the oil and gas producers. Both by leading the development of software changes at People, Ideas & Objects and as service providers in their services based organizations. It is my expectation that our user community will be able to anticipate the necessary changes in the industry and move the industry in the direction that future changes will occur.
I’m asking that the user community begin their role as leaders in the industry today. The scope and scale of this issue demands it. The time allotted to resolve this issue will be far less than what we would be comfortable with. Our expectations of our budget brings its own demands into the equation. We will have many difficulties in developing the Preliminary Specification that will challenge the user community and the industry to resolve. I am not underestimating the scope and scale of these tasks and that is represented in the publication on this blog of our budget in January and February 2014. I understood the issue then and I think that understanding is represented by the situation in the industry as it stands today.
Therefore the ball is now in the user community court. Those that want to participate in this fashion should complete their application and join the user community as soon as possible. Our goal here is to reduce the time required to deliver our solutions to the oil and gas marketplace. I believe the market expectation of when the software and services are required will be completely unreasonable, and justifiably so. We need to meet those expectations and that can only be done on the basis that we undertake the tasks ahead of us in the manner spelled out here.
The Preliminary Specification, our user community and service providers provide the dynamic, innovative, accountable and profitable oil and gas producer with the most profitable means of oil and gas operations. Setting the foundation for North America’s energy independence. People, Ideas & Objects Revenue Model specifies the means in which investors can participate in these user defined software developments. Users are welcome to join me here. Together we can begin to meet the future demands for energy. And don’t forget to join our network on Twitter @piobiz anyone can contact me at 403-200-2302 or email here.
