Closed Caption:

the the this video outlines the free
procurement project and totally free
version spend
that automates purchase orders and a
whole lot more you can learn more about
the project
and free software at Sri dash
procurement dot com
okay the most common question that we
get is whether or not the software is
truly free
so for the record this is totally free
software
it's not just a demo reel a minute
version there's no limit on the number
of users are suppliers are items
transactions
and it'll never timeout if it works for
you you can use it for ever
for free here this might help I found
this image on the internet that shows
the three hundred or so top web sites
what I find most interesting about it is
that the four top sites Google Facebook
Wikipedia and YouTube
all offer their software for free so I
think it's fair to say that we're in
pretty good company with this free
version expand map
that said with the first that we know of
to offer totally free procurement system
so if you need a little reassurance that
it's not some kind of gimmick or
something
that's totally understandable Rafferty
rising free version spend map as free
purchase order software
but we're actually including all the
models in system including requisitions
and approvals receiving supplier invoice
approval
and even inventory control an asset
management but please don't feel
obligated to use anything more that you
need
other than purchase orders everything
else is optional the free version spend
map is also expandable
so you can start with just automating
your purchase orders if you like
and then maybe bring on other models
down the road in most cases to enable a
module
there'll be a checkbox like this and set
up system error that module
okay when you download the free version
of spend map you get a group of icons
like this on your desktop
and in your start menu it's best to
start by taking a quick look at the
Getting Started documentation what
reviews important things like how to
install the system on your network for
multi-user access
how to get help if you need it and most
importantly the Getting Started
documentation provides tips and tricks
for how to best go about implementing
the system next you'll notice these
three icons for your evaluation alive
and testing cops spam you don't need to
use all three systems if you don't want
to
but we set up each one to perform one of
three specific tasks that most people go
through when they implement systems like
this
the evaluation copy is spend matters
exact same software as the life copy
that you'll actually use to run your
business
except with preloaded it with a bunch of
sample data seeking evaluating learning
software
without having to configure the system
from scratch so in the evaluation copy
you see the sample items and suppliers
as well some sample requisitions and
purchase orders and other transactions
you can play around with to get a feel
for your system look like
if you decide to implement span so go
ahead and play around with your
evaluation copy
don't worry about making a mistake
that's exactly what the evaluation copy
is therefore
be ready to actually implement spend
mapping your business
fire up the life copy and run the setup
wizard the was it'll take care the basic
configuration for you
so you'll be able to start processing
your purchase orders in just a few
minutes
the setup wizard will take care of
things like setting up your bill to and
ship to address
what you want your comment keep your
numbers to be you can select from syriza
templates for your purchase orders and
other documents and you can even upload
your logo
that'll show at the top of each or your
testing copy is completely optional
may have no need for it and the
evaluation copy with that sample data
might be enough for you when you need to
do some testing or learn some new
features
but if you ever wanna test something
that might be affected by the day their
settings in your life system
the test in copula to make america image
if you live system
to be sure that whatever you test will
perform in exactly the same way once
it's in production
again this is totally optional so please
don't feel obligated to user testing
copy if you don't want
in addition some pretty cool free
software
we also put together a whole set of
resources to help you get the system
going
