Information Systems have played an increasingly visible role over the past several years in improving the competitiveness of business. More than just tools for handling repetitive tasks, they are used to guide and advance all of a company's' daily activities. Integrated management software is today very often a key source of significant competitive advantage.

The standard response to a need for responsiveness, reliability, and rapidly increasing expectations is to create an organization based on departments with a clear linear structure, integrated around your operating processes. To increase efficiency amongst salespeople, accountants, logistics staff and everyone else you should have a common understanding of your problems.

For this you need a common language for shared references, policies and communication. An ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system provides the ideal platform for this common reference point.

Risks and integration costs are important barriers to all the advantages you gain from such systems. That is why, today, few small- and medium-sized companies use ERP. In addition, the larger ERP vendors such as SAP, Microsoft and Oracle have not been able to reconcile the power and comprehensive cover of an ERP system with the simplicity and flexibility wanted by the users. But this is exactly what small and medium enterprises are looking for.

To make an ERP system fully available to small and medium enterprises, cost reduction is the first priority. Open source software makes it possible to greatly reduce development costs by aggressive reuse of open source software libraries; to eliminate intermediaries (the distributors), with all of their expensive sales overhead; to cut out selling costs by free publication of the software; and to considerably reduce the marketing overhead.

Para que un sistema ERP este totalmente a disposición de la pequeña y mediana empresa, la reducción de costes es la primera prioridad. El software de código abierto permite reducir considerablemente los costes de desarrollo por la reutilización de las librerias del software de código abierto; por eliminar los intermediarios (los distribuidores), con todos sus gastos generales de ventas; por recortar los costes de venta mediante la publicación gratuita del software; y reducir considerablemente los gastos generales de comercialización.

Since there is open interaction among thousands of contributors and partners working on the same project, the quality of the resulting software greatly benefits from the scrutiny. And you cannot be everything at once: accountant, software developer, salesperson, ISO 9001 quality professional, specialist in agricultural products, expert in the customs and habits of pharmaceutical vendors, just as a start.

|
|
Desde que existe la interacción abierta entre miles de contribuidores y colaboradores trabajando en el mismo proyecto, la calidad del software resultante se beneficia gratamente del escrutinio. Y uno no puede ser todo al mismo tiempo: contable, desarrollador de software, comercial, profesional de ISO 9001, especialista en productos agrícolas, experto en cliente hábitos del sector farmaceútico, solo para empezar.

Faced with these wide-ranging requirements, what could be better than a worldwide network of partners and contributors? Every single person adds own contributions according to his or her professional competence. Throughout this book you will see that the results exceed any reasonable expectations when such work is well organized.

Enfrentado a esta amplitud de requerimientos, ¿qué podría ser mejor que una red internacional de contribuyentes? Cada uno añade sus propias contribuciones de acuerdo a sus competencias profesionales. A través de este libro verá que los resultados exceden toda expectativa razonable cuando dicho trabajo se encuentra bien organizado.
