Open Source ERP Projects Worth Evaluating

Monday, March 29, 2010

This is not meant to be an exhaustive list, by any means.  These are projects that I have played with some, and believe they can work well for small-medium enterprises.  List is in alphabetical order, nothing more is implied by placement.

They each have their strengths and weaknesses.  Each have a free version, some have commercial versions with additional features.  Compiere, Openbravo, OpenERP, and openTaps all have web-based interfaces.  All can run in the cloud (usually Amazon EC2) or will be with new releases soon.  Hosted versions exist as well.

I plan on publishing more details about each as I continue to test and evaluate against other ERP solutions (mainly Dynamics GP), so stay tuned!
