<br></span>Hi Folks<br> Two matters:<br> Firstly - hope you guys who went to Idlelo3 had a good time. (I would<br> have loved to come but no ticket!.)<br> Secondly - I have been researching FOSS in business and the market has<br>
really changed from the last time I looked. There are now several<br> production ready FOSS erp solutions suitable for small and medium<br> sized businesses. This could be real boon both for medium sized<br> African businesses and for local African developers/consultants.<br>
I attach a review article from University of Vienna (2006) - only that<br> I should add that much has even improved since its publication. The<br> quality is such that I can readily recommend these solutions to my<br> clients in the UK. (What a difference a few years can make!)<br>
If anyone has any comments let me know.<br> <br> regards<br> <br><br> Dapo<br> <br>
