Elaborately discuss about the Client Server solutions in commercial ERP packages.




In commercial ERP package describe the Open Technology and User Interface.

Benefits of Open-Source ERP

There are many reasons to choose open-source ERP software. Here are some of the benefits:

Lower costs

ERP software isn’t cheap. Solutions generally cost between $75,000 and $750,000 for SMBs and $1 million to $10 million for larger companies. These high up-front costs can stop many companies from investing in the technology.

More control over customizations

Simpler to scale

One of the biggest challenges in selecting an ERP solution is considering future scalability. Many growing companies realize too late that upgrading their software or increasing the number of users requires costly reimplementation.


Demo at your own pace

Companies that want to test out an ERP solution usually have to contact a vendor, request demos and set up a meeting. This process takes time, and the company will likely sit through a sales pitch.



High-quality coding

“High-quality” and “low cost” are words that are seldomly paired. But many low-cost open-source ERP solutions offer high quality coding because they’re built on previous open-source projects that have been reviewed by various independent developers.

Challenges of Open-Source ERP

Underestimating the cost


1. Basic input interfaces

New data and commands. This is one of the two basic ERP user interfaces. These are used for many tasks such as new orders and purchase order receipts and accounting accruals. Whatever the particular function, the user wants exactly the fields needed for the transaction in a logical sequence and no other fields. Once they hit enter, the screen should input the command with no visible delay

2. Basic output interfaces

3. Configurable screens

4. Mobile interfaces

5. Dashboards

6. Collaborative interfaces

7. Command line interfaces

8. GUI – graphical user interface

3 .Demonstrate the Application Integration in various ERP packages

and justify the Integration utility


The fact that ERP Systems don´t automate all processes of any organization implies the existence of other application software, either legacy or to be developed, that must be connected to the ERP system [1] [2]. In the hospitality industry, where the need to integrate internally and externally is even more marked, it is critical to map all available technology to integrate the applications running within the organization, as well as the connections to external players in the industry value chain. Each type of integration has solutions focused on determined areas, sometimes sharing functionalities with the rest. This reality difficult the choice of the most appropriate solutions and complicates the understanding of existing technology. It is important therefore to describe and analyze such solutions.
