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.

Open Source software at the Service of Management

7.

The development processes of Open Source Software, and the new business models adopted by their developers, provide a new way of resolving such cost and quality issues for this kind of enterprise software.

8.

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.

The OpenERP Solution

This diversity is an illustration of the software's flexibility: a rather elegant coordination between people's functional expectations of the software and great ease of use.

19.

And this diversity is also found in the various sectors and trades which use the software, including agricultural products, textiles, public auctions, IT, and trade associations.
