Corporate Software Free: CMR, ERP, accounting, management

In the working-business, we are always looking for the best solutions for the management of the various business units and programs are complex and very expensive to make even simple tasks.

We're not talking so companies such as Enel or as the Italian Post Office which can afford to buy the software management and business management more expensive configured by professional advisors, but small and medium enterprise programs where as SAP could become a boomerang that lead to heavy investments .

The point is that there are programs completely free and open source software that can do the same things as the commercial ones that require, as a single investment, the human in the sense of study and adaptation of the product to the company specific.

After then saw some programs and management software aimed at economic budgets and movements of money, we see here the best free open source software and open source for companies and business management.

The categories in which to enter these programs are those of business management including: Accounting or Accounting, CRM / ERP, Document Management, Project Management, E-Commerce and Human Resources.

Their common characteristic and modernity lies in their easy implementation and integration as well as web applications.

 

For the branch Accounting or Accounting software free we have two reports:

1) PostBooks CRM is a comprehensive accounting solution that includes GL, AR, AP (are to indicate the financial terms of Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, General Ledger), financial reporting and inventory management.

For the CRM / ERP we see 5 programs that I describe very fast for sake of brevity.

5) vTiger combines an excellent CRM software with an ease of use that greatly reduces the learning curve of this kind of products.

Project Management in fact we had already seen the free software talking about Microsoft Project and alternatives.

On this occasion, for integrated and multi-user, we mention two other software: Dot Project and Gantt Project

 

Finally it is very important to say that these and other programs free business management, can be tried on the internet, without downloading anything, Click2Try on the site that contains reports and other investigations.

Really, given the prolonged period of crisis and the fact that many companies end up cutting into the workforce, it would be better to try to save on the management tools and software that can be seen and seen that the power of open source is by no means inferior to that of programs celebrated as the market leader.
