?? Greetings, readers and Odoo enthusiasts! Welcome to another edition of The Odoo Scoop.??

As a technology enthusiast and Odoo partner, I was thrilled to attend the exclusive one-day training program organized by Odoo India.

The event promised insights into sales, marketing, implementation methodology, Odoo Accounting implementation and the continuous integration platform (odoo.sh).

Let me share my journey with you!

??The Venue

The training took place at the Odoo India headquarters, located in Gandhinagar, Gujarat.

The office, situated in IT Tower 3 at InfoCity, provided a vibrant and conducive environment for learning and networking.

Sessions Overview

??Implementation Methodology:

The day started with a session led by Ravi Thakkar on implementation methodology.

It covered fundamental aspects like team roles, implementation phases, and critical success factors. We also explored best practices for deploying Odoo solutions to achieve seamless integration and ensure maximum client satisfaction.

Additionally, we received a handy booklet detailing Odoo's implementation methodology to keep everything fresh in our minds.

??Working with Your Account Manager:

In the next session, Akshay Panchal introduced the pivotal role of a partner account manager and underscored the significance of seamless collaboration.

This session emphasized effective communication, strategic alignment, and client-centric approaches essential for ensuring successful project execution.

I also want to give a shout-out to Shivam Mishra , our Partner Account Manager, for his incredible support all along the way!

??Continuous Integration with odoo.sh

Odoo’s continuous integration platform, odoo.sh, took the center stage.

Hosted by Pratima Gupta, this session delved into the nuances of on-premise hosting challenges and provided a comprehensive overview of odoo.sh’s features, benefits, and practical applications.

We also learned about crucial topics such as database replication, integration strategies, and the intricacies of restoring databases in case of server crashes.

As a developer, I found this session incredibly enriching and even volunteered for hands-on experience to further deepen my understanding.

??Odoo Accounting Implementation:

We then took a deep dive into Odoo accounting implementation methodology, hosted by Ajaykumar J. .?

The session covered localizations, understanding the Go Live checklist, best practices for importing master data and transactional data, and discussed what’s new with Odoo accounting.

??Boosting Marketing Activities:

After the serious talk about money and papers, we had a fun session on marketing. Marketing plays a pivotal role in business growth.

We learned strategies to enhance our marketing efforts, promote Odoo solutions, and attract clients. The host, Mishika Parwani , along with Mr. Sandeep Tomar , addressed many queries from the audience, making the session interactive and engaging.

??Q&A with Odoo India Director:

The day wrapped up with an engaging Q&A session featuring Mr. Mantavya Gajjar , Managing Director of Odoo India.

Attendees had the chance to ask about Odoo, business strategies, and technology trends. Personally, I seized the opportunity to discuss the potential of AI within Odoo.

As Odoo keeps levelling up to meet all sorts of user demands, who knows? Maybe soon we'll see Zomato and Swiggy integrated in Odoo !?

???Networking and High Tea:

Between sessions, we networked with fellow partners, exchanged ideas, and shared experiences.

The Odoo Partner Training Day was not only about learning from the experts but also about connecting with like-minded professionals. Attendees came from diverse backgrounds and cities, and it was inspiring to see the passion and dedication each participant brought to the event.

The high-tea break with hot samosas provided a relaxed atmosphere for informal discussions, where we shared our experiences with Odoo implementations, success stories, and tips on overcoming common challenges.
