Today’s difficult economic climate dictates a conservative approach towards operational expenses. ERP is the backbone of an organization’s operations, and many critical factors influence the selection of a solution. In the past, there have been limited choices: either adopt traditional ERP solutions or develop custom applications. Both these choices incur high upfront costs, a large budget, and long implementation time. The ongoing maintenance costs and complexities -- integration, upgrades and maintenance – are also prohibitively expensive.

Get an understanding of how commercial open source ERP solutions are allowing corporations to meet their business objectives at a low cost. Hear from the President of Southern Book Company, a distributor of educational materials, on how the company increased productivity and doubled revenue at a fraction of the cost and time of a traditional ERP implementation. Discover the capabilities of a commercial open source ERP solution and compare them to traditional ERP solutions.


Attend this webinar to learn:
  • Why Southern Book selected a commercial open source ERP solution
  • How Southern Book successfully implemented the solution in 2 months
  • What you get from a comprehensive open source ERP solution
  • How you can easily extend Compiere ERP (without programming) to meet your unique business requirements

BPM: Big in 2012

Today’s companies not only need to do more than ever before—they need to do it all faster, cheaper and with higher ROI. That's undoubtedly why, in two recent surveys, business and IT pros ranked BPM as a top priority this year.

ebizQ Site Editor Anne Stuart reports.

BPM Forum: What is the value of process mining

  • " I think that process mining as a principal concept will be extremely important in the future but rather than following the ideas of data mining, it has to provide a real-time capability."
  • "I have had direct experience in using process mining with real customers and real data...the results are nothing short of amazing."
