Open ERP Book (Foreword) | ||
Foreword | ||
Information Systems have played an increasingly visible role over the past several years in improving the competitiveness of business. More than just tools for handling repetitive tasks, they’re used to guide and advance all of a company’s‘ daily activities. Integrated management software is today very often a key source of significant competitive advantage. | Informationssysteme spielten in den letzten Jahren eine zunehmende Rolle in der Verbesserung der Wettbewerbsfähigkeit von Unternehmen. Mehr als nur ein Werkzeuge zum Lösen von sich wiederholenden Aufgaben, dienen sie der Leitung und Optimierung von täglichen Aufgaben einer Firma. Integrierte Verwaltungssoftware ist heutzutage häufig eine der Hauptquellen für eine sichtliche Überlegenheit in der Konkurrenzfähigkeit. | |
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. | ||
For this you need a common language for shared references, policies and communication. An ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system makes the ideal platform for this common reference point. | ||
Open Source software at the service of management¶ | ||
Risks and integration costs are important barriers to all the advantages you gain from such systems. That’s why, today, few small- and medium-sized companies use ERP. In addition, the larger ERP vendors such as SAP, Microsoft and Oracle haven’t been able to reconcile the power and comprehensive cover of an ERP system with the simplicity and flexibility wanted by the users. But this is exactly what small and medium enterprises are looking for. | ||
The development processes of open source software, and the new business models adopted by their developers, provide a new way of resolving such problems of cost and quality for this kind of enterprise software. | Der Entwicklungsprozess von quelloffener Software und die neuen Geschäftsmodelle die von den Entwicklern übernommen werden stellen einen neuen Weg für die Lösung von Kosten- und Qualitätsprobleme für Geschäftssoftware dieser Art dar. | |
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. |
