> From: W. Martin Borgert: > In an ERP you have much more data than only that. There is a lot of data that should never, ever be on a publically accessible server, such as employees contract data or their illness times. A public web shop should only have the necessary data on the server.
This was probably true many years ago, but I can assure you that in a market like the USA and many others, the vast majority of SMBs are outsourcing their payroll to HR service providers like ADP, Trinet, and hundreds of others who take care of not only payroll but employment contracts, time off,... All these HR service providers provide a web application (ie. portal) for their customers to process all this, which is as a matter of fact sitting somewhere on a server that is accessible over the internet with just a login and password. In terms of private data, I don't think it gets more critical than payslips and employment contracts. But this accessibility is a necessity. It's just where the future of management software is headed. __ Fabrice Henrion _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openerp-community Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openerp-community More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
