ERP, or Enterprise Resource Planning, software was developed in order to
integrate the flow of business information throughout a company. ERP
software solutions were originally developed for very large companies, at costs
of tens of millions of dollars. Smaller companies also needed ERP solutions that
integrated financial accounting software, supply chain management software, CRM
software, and many other business software elements, but couldn’t afford the
high up-front cost for license and implementation of traditional ERP software.
Open source software delivers
major cost and implementation advantages over traditional software.
Hardware costs such as servers can be up to 50% lower with open source software,
because the open source code is less storage- and processing-intensive than
Microsoft-based software. Maintenance and modification of the code is easier for
the same reason. OpenPro ERP software solutions can be implemented in as little
as one day. OpenPro ERP solutions provide a complete set of business
functions, providing our clients with an open source ERP solution that costs
