Our clients are mostly into the Retail industry with few of them from Manufacturing industry. As osserpguru has mentioned, Compiere being a very user-friendly product some of its features are not available with the Open source version. OpenTaps has a Classic User interface and due to the enormous issues that we have faced during our evaluation we have ruled out both these products. Now we are currently deciding between Adempiere and OpenBravo, the former being a closest match for our requirements. Can you please give us more information on Adempiere? ~santosh Hi,

I think going for an open source ERP is the best way to start - you can easily download,install and start "playing around" with the software. As for the question about the best open source ERP to start with - I don't think there is one answer to that. I believe the question should be "What is the best open source ERP solution <b>for my customers</b>?". ERP software is designed to support so many different requirements-either built into the product or as part of customization-that you really have to know your customers well to decide which solution is best for them I would suggest reading <a title="Open Source ERP solutions to consider" href="http://opensourceerpguru.com/2008/01/11/open-source-erp-solution-" rel="nofollow">Open Source ERP Solutions To Consider</a>. As for the solutions you mentioned: 1.Compiere is the most popular open source ERP solution on the market today. That means many live customers,knowledge around implementation project and a large ecosystm of system integrators and customization partners. Compiere does lack in Manufacturing related functionality, so if many of your customers are manufacturing companies, they might need a complementry manifacturing solution.I understand a manufacturing model in in Compiere's roadmap Also note that some Compiere components (e.g. WEbUI) are not free. 2.Openbravo - a very promising project with a very active community. Their solution is easy to install and configure,has a very sleek UI and offers a lot of functionality. They also raised funding capital which means they can put all their energy into improving their product. They have a strong MRP module which is imperative for manufacturing companies. 3.Opentaps - build on top of the Apache OFBiz framework, this is a relatively young offering, with a limited partners ecosystem. They are currently not offering a manufacturing solution. However, because they are based on Apache's OFBiz, I think they have a good chance of becoming a significant player in the open source ERP arena. OFBiz's service-based architecture is a modern,flexible approach to enterprise information systems and Apache projects usually employ some of the best open source programmers available.
