Opentaps to be unveiled in Santa Clara

The open source ERP / CRM solution Opentaps is set for official unveiling at the MySQL Users Conference in Santa Clara, Calif., later this month. Opentaps is a fully integrated ERP / CRM suite that works with open source databases to offer scalable solutions for accounting, customer service, inventory, manufacturing, warehouses and such. The software may best be described as a Java-developed combination of Open For Business applications, OFB CRM and modules from Open Source Strategies, Inc.

The Opentaps ERP+CRM suite, as is typical, supports operations with a centralized database, allowing several users access simultaneously and the opportunity for real-time decision making. What is unique about opentaps is its status as a freely usable and modifiable open source solution. Opentaps also features potential deployment in an open source stack. Opentaps project manager Si Chen states that “Access to the source code gives users unprecedented flexibility to create a solution that suits their needs, while open source databases such as MySQL can deliver the lowest ultimate cost of ownership.”

The MySQL Users Conference 2006 takes place in Santa Clara April 24-27, 2006.
