Credativ and OpenERP partner to take on ERP software giants
1 min read
Credativ, the UK arm of the largest independent open source consultancy in Europe, is partnering with OpenERP in a move it says is aimed at increasing the latter's share of the UK ERP market for SMEs.
"OpenERP provides a flexible, robust and cost-effective alternative to proprietary systems such as SAP, JD Edwards EnterpriseOne and Sage, and is especially attractive to SMEs that may have previously found the cost of ERP systems prohibitive," comments Chris Halls, managing director of Credativ UK.
He explains that OpenERP's suite of modular applications caters for everything from CRM to project management, warehouse management, manufacturing, financial management and HR.
"Credativ has already introduced OpenERP to UK SMEs and enterprises in the manufacturing, ecommerce and logistics industries," says Halls. And he claims that manufacturers using OpenERP have already realised business benefits "including cost savings, streamlined processes, improved visibility and simplified reporting".
Halls insists that his organisation's partnership with OpenERP underlines the pair's commitment to improving the system's functionality.
"We want to highlight open source ERP as an alternative to less flexible proprietary platforms, and believe that this new partnership will bring our experience, size and range of services to organisations who are considering OpenERP," he states.
