The solution is probably in here ...

The Z-Factory contains all sorts of in depth documentation and plug-and-play software for CMN/ZMF, which is not contained in standard CMN/ZMF. Everything originates from real world requirements, experiences and needs in various CMN/ZMF implementations, and is related to a specific Z-Factory category.

The target audience for the various Z-Factory categories is a mixture of one or more job functions, as illustrated in the table below ("V"=currently available; "4Q2011"=planned for 4Q2011; "1Q2012"=planned for 1Q2012):

For each topic in any of these categories, the information is structured as follows:

• The Z-Issues contain the problem statements for commonly known issues in CMN/ZMF (mostly enhancement requests, sometimes problem tickets).
• The Z-Clues contain the documentation about how a possible solution of the specific Z-Issue might look like. It actually contains the details about the customization that AbitMORE ever implemented at a CMN/ZMF customer before. So with Z-Clues you learn how you can build the customization yourself (which we know/assure solved the issue already at another CMN/ZMF customer).
• The Z-Files is simply the complete set of software related to the specific solution (compliant to what is documented in the Z-Clues also), including installation instructions, info about configuration options, etc.

After you've explored some of the solutions within the Z-Issues, Z-Clues and Z-Files a bit, you'll understand that you might consider each of these solutions as a disclosure of our trade secrets about how to solve the corresponding Z-Issue. And this without expecting or forcing you to hire (sometimes expensive) consultants to come on site (or work remotely) to simply cut-and-paste the very same customizations that were implemented before at another customer. Attention: of course we can offer you appropriate consulting services (e.g. to implement these or new solutions in your environment), but if you rather want to implement those solutions yourself, that's fine (and doable) too.

Talking about disclosing trade secrets, we even take this a step further, by looking at the legal aspects of it. For all solutions within the spectrum of Z-Issues, Z-Clues or Z-Files, we assure to be authorized to publish these solutions to any CMN/ZMF customer interested using them. Moreover, our customers for which we ever implemented these solutions, are aware (and have agreed) that we publish selected solutions to other CMN/ZMF customers.

To encourage development of Z-Files software by Dr.Chgman's certified core developer(s), you can also participate in the Z-Bounties program. Funders of Z-Bounties help developers to enhance the Z-Files (and its related Z-Issues and Z-Clues) in particular areas of interest to its users.

Last but not least, you may also want to checkout the Z-Factory Roadmap, which will give you an idea of what we currently have in mind about additional Z-Factory topics for the near future.
