Open Source ERP

Open source products have long been a cost effective way of allowing users to share software and simultaneously work on the existing software to help improve it. The number of users that interact and work on a single software product can help improve products dramatically at a very low cost.

The introduction of an open source ERP system is big news to companies that may not be able to afford the more expensive traditional ERP systems. The availability of an open source ERP software should benefit many smaller and mid sized businesses. The potential for open source ERP to improve is unlimited. With a wide variety and number of people working on different ERP systems, the collaboration of all these people should be able to create an ERP system that is pretty advanced.

OpenERP, a provider of an open source ERP system, has made it very easy to gain access to an ERP system. Providing free licenses and free redistribution, the spread and improvement of open source ERP solutions should be widespread in the near future.
