REASON #2 PROVIDE HIGHER QUALITY

IT professionals from large companies agree that open source ERP solutions provide higher quality, because many independent, and passionate developers have looked at the solutions, criticized the code, and contributed enhancements.

Competition between developers is very common in open source software communities and that is the main drive that improves quality and encourages innovation. What most of the commercial ERP providers usually do is “reinventing the wheel”.

REASON #4 HIGHER SECURITY

If you compare a team of 50 talented programmers with a team of a 1000 talented programmers, then whom do you think will be able to produce a better quality product?

The main reason for an open source ERP solution to be more secure is the number of contributors.

Other reason for being secure is the code being open source. Anybody can identify a bug or loophole and can quickly fix it. This results in a better secured software.

Open source ERP solutions reduce dependence on a single or multiple vendors, and in this way they may reduce business risk.

Allow you to integrate apps and modules from different vendors in a way that will increase the overall productivity of your daily operations.

You own the system and its full source content! There is no lock-in or dependency on the vendor, and you are freer on how you are going to implement and modify the software. You can do this all by yourself or hire an ERP provider.
