I like tiny for accounting & invoicing. I don't know well the CRM part of it. I tried ERP5 a year or two back and I just quit trying because there was too much dependencies and problems. I don't know what is their status now, but I definitely prefer Tiny. My reasons ? - Tiny uses an SQL database (Postgresql) where ERP5 uses zodb (may have changed or may be possible to use a db back-end but it was not deployed like this in the demo I used) - Tiny has a real thick-client GUI (GTK) that works on any platform were you can find python+pygtk. Whereas ERP5 only proposes a web interface that I did not find compelling (may also have changed). I know this is a source of debate and I don't want to feed a troll, but having the choice between the two of them will make you more confortable when you will have to answer questions in a pre-sales presentation. - Tiny uses TG for its web-interface :) :) whereas ERP5 uses Zope (zope2 last time I looked). I like Zope; it is a wonderful application server, but the cheer number of small packages that were nearly impossible to find worked against ERP5 at the time I tried. The only way I could have a real ERP-5 running was by using the demo live-CD. It may have changed but last time I looked, the documentation and level of support was very low on ERP-5, as if the guys preferred to do consulting so much that they did not want to share knowledge on how to use the product. I could find many other reasons... the last thing I'll say is that after a good hesitation time I choose Tiny for my ERP. And I am running my company's invoicing and accounting with the help of TinyErp. Regards, Florent Aide. PS: I do not have shares in Tiny sprl nor do I get money from them :) Just to make things clear. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears" group.
