SMB And ERP: No Longer Mutually Exclusive Terms
,----[ Quote ]
| Finally, this week Inforworld.com named another open-source ERP provider,
| Compiere, as a recipient of its annual "Bossie" award in the Best Open Source
| Enterprise Software category. Compiere is another strong contender in the
| small-business ERP market; among other features, it offers a very
| well-regarded, cloud-based implementation of its ERP solution.
|
| [...]
|
| The other, based on an Ubuntu Server software stack, is being positioned as a
| better solution for companies that want more control over server
| configuration, including the use of complementary third-party components.
| Both are suitable for deployment as single-server solutions.

Microsoft Losing its Grip on UK Small Businesses?
,----[ Quote ]
| Put another way, according to this survey few small business in the UK intend
| upgrading to Windows 7 soon; the majority want to move to solutions
| independent of the operating system, to those based on the browser; and fully
| a third of the companies are using Firefox, not Internet Explorer, for that
| purpose.
|
| That adds up to a bunch of headaches for Microsoft if those results are
| mirrored across the whole of the UK, because it suggests some fairly seismic
| shifts are underway in the small business sector, and that the company is
| failing on multiple fronts.
