iDempiere Functional & Technical Training for a Lebanese Customer

A Lebanese Customer wanted to build an in-house iDempiere capability to own their ERP implementation, customization, and long-term support without perpetual vendor dependency. We delivered an 8-week iDempiere functional + technical training program — producing 12 certified consultants ready to go live on their own project.

The Challenge

The Lebanese customer's leadership had chosen iDempiere open-source ERP for a major internal rollout but couldn't find qualified iDempiere consultants in Lebanon or Beirut. They needed to upskill their existing in-house Java + PL/SQL team to full iDempiere implementation and plugin-development capability — fast, and without flying everyone to India for onsite training.

Our Solution

We designed a blended virtual + onsite 8-week training program combining functional modules, technical OSGi plugin development, hands-on labs, and a capstone project reviewed by our senior architects.

  • Week 1–2: Functional foundation — Finance, Sales, Purchase, Inventory, BPartner master, Application Dictionary
  • Week 3–4: Configuration mastery — accounting schema, tax rules, document types, price lists, workflows
  • Week 5–6: Technical track — OSGi plugin development in Java, callouts, model validators, process classes, REST web services
  • Week 7: Reporting — Jasper + BIRT report development, data access, printable templates
  • Week 8: Capstone project — each team implements a real-world module end-to-end with code review by SCM Software Lab architects
  • 40+ hands-on labs in a dedicated sandbox environment with sample data and assessment rubrics
  • Blended delivery — 6 weeks virtual via Zoom + 2 weeks onsite in Beirut for capstone and intensive labs
  • Certification — SCM Software Lab iDempiere Certified Consultant (Functional + Technical) after passing written exam + capstone

Consulting Cost Avoided

In-house team's annual run-rate savings vs. hiring external consultants.

We wanted to own our ERP, not rent consultants forever. SCM Software Lab delivered that. Eight weeks of training and our team went from zero iDempiere knowledge to building production-grade plugins. Worth every dollar.
