Skill Building: Make the Most of Lockdown

Wazzup Pilipinas!?

With the ever-increasing scope of lockdown, it can be easy to feel like there is nothing for you to do but hunker down and wait until the worst passes. While this is certainly one approach you could take, you could always try to make the most of this time instead. How do you do that? By learning a new skill.

Learning a New Skill

It may seem like a stressful and convoluted process, but learning a new skill is actually much easier than most people even realize. Online learning facilities such as LinkedIn Learning allow people access to an enormous amount of tutelage and information for almost any topic. This makes the process of learning new skills much easier; all you need is a little time and dedication.

Coding

There are very few skillsets as misunderstood as coding. For the most part, people tend to look on programmers and software developers like techno wizards that know the beautiful machines' secret language. This is for a good reason. From the outside, coding can seem a lot like magic, but once you’ve broken into the nitty-gritty of the skill, you’ll see just how straightforward and interesting coding can be.

There are a ton of different ways that you can break into the coding skillset, and it often depends on what you want to do with the coding skills you are developing. Often the best way to start is to learn python. As a coding language, it is one of the most versatile and is widely regarded as the easiest to learn.

Art

The ability to create beautiful works with just a pencil or a computer is one that almost everyone who has seen an artist at work is jealous of. However, this isn’t some mystical gift passed down by the gods. Artists put a lot of work into honing their craft and sharpening their skills which means that you can too. With a bit of time and effort, you can create art every bit as beautiful as any you’ve seen others make.

There are a number of different ways to go about learning art online, from studying theory to instruction courses. In all likelihood, the most effective methods are the courses that lead you through learning the basics and offer exercises every step of the way, such as DrawaBox.

Risk Management

There are a number of ways to learn how to deal with risks, but one of the most surefire methods is to engage in controlled risk-taking. One of the best ways to do this is to play games. Ruby Fortune is the best online casino Canada has to offer and supplies many games that would help you learn to mitigate and manage risks.

You might not consider it one, but risk management is a skill, an important one. If you don’t develop your abilities with these skills, you will find any situation where you have to deal with risks far more challenging than is necessary. In fact, you may even freeze up and fail to handle such situations at all. Whether in business or just day-to-day life, risks are a part of living, and knowing how to deal with them will make your life much easier.

5 Reasons Why You Should Integrate ERP Systems with Your Company’s Accounting

Wazzup Pilipinas!?


When faced with the need to upgrade your business’s accounting system, you typically have two choices. Your first choice is to purchase standalone accounting software that does only accounting-related operations, such as financial accounting, managerial accounting, or cost accounting. Your second choice is to explore all-around enterprise resource planning (ERP) software that handles accounting along with other business processes. The software will allow you to complete accounting functions as well as functions for sales, project management, inventory, material requirements planning (MRP), and corporate banking.

The tendency for many companies, especially those comprising the small-to-medium enterprise (SME) sector, is to buy only the accounting software. At first, purchasing an accounting solution may seem like the cheaper and more practical choice over purchasing a whole ERP system. But at its best, this kind of investment is only capable of improving accounting processes and nothing more. What if a software solution could help a company improve its overall business performance and not only its accounting practices? If ERP can be thought of as a holistic business software solution, it makes more sense for companies to invest in it.

If you’re the chief financial officer or other decision-maker for your company’s finances, here’s why you should consider a more integrated approach to your accounting. Below are the five best reasons for using an integrated accounting system with an ERP instead of a standalone accounting solution.

It Will Help You Get the “Big Picture View” of Your Enterprise

One thing many businesspeople learn over the years is that core business processes cannot be done in isolation. The company’s performance in one aspect, such as its financial management, will affect its performance in other aspects, such as future sales and production activities.

It’s good to be aware of this interconnectedness in your business operations and, moreover, preserve it by using an ERP system. When you’re overseeing tasks like accounting, you won’t feel as if your work is isolated from the work being done by other staff members. In other words, an ERP system will allow you a “bigger picture” perspective for your company’s processes, which would be impossible with just accounting software.

You Can Keep Your Accounting, POS, and Inventory Data Up to Date

Compared to standalone accounting software, an ERP system will be much more helpful in your everyday management of your business data. You’ll have an immense advantage if you can streamline your accounting data with data in the other modules of your ERP system. Every time you do accounting, you’ll be confident about your figures aligning with those of your inventory and point of sales. This is definitely faster and easier than drawing up separate applications and trying to reconcile the figures manually.

Using an ERP system will also reduce the likelihood of data-related errors, like double entries, missing entries, or inconsistent entries. It’ll certainly save you the grief of doing accounting processes with incorrect financial data, finding out after the fact, and doing it all over again. As such, it’s a worthwhile investment to make.

You’ll Save Time Doing Accounting and Other Vital Business Processes

Another key advantage that an ERP system has over standalone accounting software is a wider range of automation capabilities. ERP software can automate accounting procedures like those for payroll, accounts payable, and accounts receivable. At the same time, it can auto-generate invoices, auto-bill your retail and corporate customers, and automatically update your inventory.

You and your staff will end up saving so much time with an ERP system because a larger number of your tasks can be automated. If you invested in a standalone accounting solution, you’d benefit from this kind of automation capability on a much smaller scale.

It Will Tighten Your Data Security

Whether you’re doing your accounting on spreadsheets or using an application for it, you’ll constantly be worried about your data security. What if someone in your accounting team commits a serious error by accident, and you end up losing a large chunk of your financial data? What if your system falls prey to a malicious hacking attempt?

If you invest in an ERP system, you can enjoy a higher level of data security than you would on a standalone accounting solution. ERP systems are built for security and typically have more comprehensive backup protocols than standalone applications. Therefore, in the worst-case scenarios, you’ll be readier to implement a backup plan with an ERP system.

It Will Make Record-Keeping for Taxes So Much Easier

Lastly, an ERP system may contribute so much more than standalone accounting software in the task of keeping financial records for taxes. An ERP software suite like SAP Business One can auto-generate the accounting records you pass to government agencies. Come crunch time for paying business taxes, you’ll be happy to have an all-around software suite to consolidate all your data on your revenues.

Just so long as your ERP follows the BIR’s documentary requirements for the use of a computerized accounting system (CAS), you’ll be all set. You can ask your ERP software vendor to help you navigate through your CAS registration, as they’ll likely have experience dealing with this process.

Conclusion: Adaptable and Efficient Business Management Practices with ERPs

The great thing about ERP software is that you can customize it according to your needs. That means that you can choose which modules to use on it aside from an accounting module. You can make your ERP system as lean or as inclusive as you need it to be, depending on your budget or your company size.

One thing’s for certain. If your company is in a position to do so, it’s better to purchase a system that integrates accounting with other business processes. If you invest in an ERP system, you’ll see for yourself what benefits it will have on your business beyond improving its accounting practices. Here’s to flexible and all-inclusive business management strategies using ERPs.

#ArmyOfTheDead: Zack Snyder's vision gets full freedom

Wazzup Pilipinas!?

I'm pleased the zombie purists seem to be dying out. The genre needs variety and I'm excited to see how the zombies in #ArmyOfTheDead behave. So far they seem pretty terrifying. I'll always trust #ZackSnyder to deliver a kick ass zombie flick.

First full trailer for Zack Snyder's #ArmyOfTheDead takes zombies to a new level.

An isolated Las Vegas, a hungry horde of the undead, and the last chance to get $200 mil. 

This is #ArmyOfTheDead. In select theaters May and on Netflix May 21. 

#ZackSnyder is coming to rule the internet and streaming chart yet again with #ArmyOfTheDead 

Who would have thought that #ZackSnyder could make an even crazier zombie movie than Dawn of the Dead......but here we are.

I'm so fascinated by the zombie heirarchy, and think this could be the first time in a while zombies are actually scary.

I am SO here for an organized zombie horde. There is a ton of room for stories with that, and I can't WAIT.

The trailer was so great. I am happy to see him return back to Zombies and also change up his color pallette. The cinematography looked great. I think this will be a really unique step forward.

Trailer was awesome. Looks like this could be the best Snyder movie since Watchmen.

A far different movie than I had been expecting, with evolved zombies that look awesome and remind of George Romero's smart zombies. And it looks like animals aren't immune in this world!

#ArmyOfTheDead Trailer was Absolutely Insane. The idea of Zombie's developing an animalistic tribe mentality is absolutely Bonkers!!!!

What we know so far about the zombies from Zack Snyder's ARMY OF THE DEAD:

- According to the cast, they're unlike anything we've seen before

- They're fast and agile

- Rumored to be intelligent

- and the virus origins are tied to AREA 51!

#ArmyOfTheDead is expanding zombie lore by adding a new type called "Alphas" with a level of consciousness.

"I want the audience to get a chance at having sympathy"- @ZackSnyder 

I’ve liked less than half of Snyder’s movies, but one of the ones I liked was not only one of the best remakes ever, but one of the best zombie films ever. I’m guessing this will be more eye candy fun with gore than serious horror, but I’m down either way.

Fun isn't his preference, it'll be balls to the wall insane. There’s a cartoon zombie tiger. I genuinely hope that’s just meant to be fun.

I can’t believe it has taken this long for Snyder to return back to his horror roots!! Very excited to see what he does with this.

Snyder on working with Netflix: There are no other cuts of the movie. I didn't have to fight them. It was the opposite. #ArmyoftheDead 

"You don't have to see the bastardized version." You get to just see the awesome version first.

Amazing that we sense relief for a talented filmmaker being treated as such. That's the depths of Warner Bros and how they operate.

Zack is getting so much love and respect from Netflix. They never doubted him unlike the other studio. Truly powerful! 

As it should be Zack. As it should be. Happy for you Mr Snyder. Trust in the directors vision. Executive's aren't hired to do a director's job.

Because they believe in his vision and doesn’t doubt or question him. Warner Bros sabotaged Zack starting with Batman VS Superman. So much for being a “director-driven” studio.

So awesome there are studios that give artists full creative freedom.. what a concept.

Legendary moment. He may be controversial but I have loved zack snyder as a director. Love how Zack is subtly dissing WB and Joss Whedon without naming names. That is some serious shade thrown at Warner Bros. 

And I loved reading. 

Zack is key to the success of DC movies. It’s time to get rid of the old guard of execs, who won’t let creativity and imagination thrive...leading to less $$$ for them. Army of the Dead could have easily been theirs.

Yet a portion of the fanbase wants him to remain at Warner Bros, a studio that doesn't want to continue his vision, so he keeps being screwed. 

Fighting for more Snyder DC films is not worth it because he will have to deal with the same studio that butchered Justice League back in 2017.

I love when zombies have personality, which is something George Romero was so good at. One zombie from the trailer of #ArmyoftheDead looks to be a sort of Queen-like leader, a true Vegas Zombie ruling over the wasteland. Interesting to see Snyder picking up the "smart zombies" baton from Romero. 

Athena Perample plays the zombie queen in #ArmyOfTheDead and it is so on brand and not at all surprising that, the second she popped up in the trailer, I knew she'd be my favorite character... 

Richard Cetrone (@300StuntMan) who you probably know as Ben Affleck's Batman stunt double, is playing Zeus in Army Of The Dead.

Can we also take a moment to appreciate how flawless Tig Notaro's addition to ARMY OF THE DEAD is?

Tig Notaro was brought in to replace Chris D'Elia, however due to the pandemic, they filmed all her work on green screen. She never actually interacted with the cast.

This is just a reminder, the way Netflix is promoting and hyping up #ArmyOfTheDead is pretty normal. The way @WarnerMedia is handling the #SnyderCut is the very strange psychotic like behavior.

It’s so ridiculous that when you tell someone out of this circle they won’t even believe you lmfao.

Well we are still trying to make sense out of it and we have a good understanding of their bullshit politics.

#ArmyOfTheDead, which reportedly sat in development hell at WB for 10 years before Netflix bought it, has a $90 million budget, just $20 million more than what was spent to finish ZSJL, 3 years after spending $300 million on the 2017 disaster.

You can't make this stuff up. 

One of life's small pleasures is how WB manages to look dumber with every passing day.

We will always keep fighting to #RestoreTheSnyderVerse but if WB never work with Zack again, that's their loss. Im just so happy Zack has found a home at @netflix where he can roam creatively free. He has fought too many battles with WB. Long live the #ArmyOfTheDead
