Opensource options for enterprise IT systems - ERP

Isn’t it frustrating when you work with a prospect, get them excited about the benefits of Open Source, then its time to choose an ERP system and the short listed platforms are SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, Oracle Financials, Pronto or other large royalty based systems? Many times these vendors come in and give Drupal the boot with their own solutions that is “fully-integrated” with their platform.

What if you could give these vendors a boot instead?

What if there were solutions that can handle the ERP needs of medium to large companies and are at par with these ERP systems?

What if this system was pure open source, similar to Drupal – a GPL based system?

Yes, it does exist and it is called Adempiere. And yes Adempiere and Drupal can be connected so that Drupal can handle the CMS needs, with Adempiere handling all the CRM, ERP needs of these organizations.

I think ERPs are going to be part of a lot of the big Drupal projects going forward, and I had not heard of Adempiere, although I have just spent some time reading about it. I am looking forward to this talk.
