Thank you for all your replies,
I will check out all the accounting software mentioned but the decision is
ofcourse in the end with the company heads. If tally is available for
linux then i would presume they would go head with it so that there is
minimal learning curve to be negotiated.
I'll ofcourse keep everyone posted on developments if people are
interested but this implementation (if i may call it that) might take a
while. My intention is to have atleast one(to my miniscule knowledge) of a
highly successful linux implementation for a small manufacturing unit cost
wise and strategy wise. A unit which will grow but need not depend upon
external proprietory vendors who charge exhorbitant rates. Even playing
with the idea of a mix with one system for AutoCad, and all others using
software like spreadsheets/email etc. on Linux.
Idea is to reduce to functioning of IT to only an incidental level as
opposed to it being a strategic function. I may be wrong here, but any
corrections recommendations, suggestions are welcome. This unit has no
experience with IT (4-5 computers) whatsoever and am a management guy and
nowhere close to an IT whizz :)
Regards,
Sachin G. Nambiar
PS: Am more or less a linux newbie ..
