Open your mind with open source ERP
,----[ Quote ]
| ...open source is having a big impact on a range of software
| segments, including development tools, databases, operating systems,
| office products - and inevitably a knock-on impact for the application
| layer. Names such as Linux or MySQL are recognised by IT professionals,
| but open source applications such as Mozilla Firefox have also found
| their way onto mainstream user desktops. Ultimately, everything that
| can be built in open source will be in time.

| "People using old SAP R3 and pre-Version 11 Oracle Financials systems in a
| few years will be looking at [SAP's] Netweaver and [Oracle's] Fusion
| [middleware platforms] and say, 'We don't want your middleware,'" he

| "I had lots of concern over the consolidation of the industry. I
| felt locked in to those two guys," recalls Alperin. That lock-in
| made him nervous, since he was already frustrated by lack of
| flexibility with his old homegrown ERP system, which was not
| built around a relational database. Also, customization was a
| vital need when Vertex acquired other companies or needed to
| integrate with new customers. "We've grown because of our
| flexibility," Alperin says. He didn't want to risk that growth.
