That means you don't pay any licence fees on any of the official modules and you can download and use the whole suite Licence FREE !Modular Concept
The modular concept of OpenERP means that all modules can work as either a 'stand-alone' module or can used together with other modules to build a complete end-to-end business flow - for example order-to-cash or purchase-order-to payment! You just need to install the modules you need. Other modules can be installed any time later - sharing all core master-data between modules.
Workflow and Process Driven SolutionsAs OpenERP is a web enabled 'workflow and process' driven application, you can easily adjust the OpenERP workflow to suit your specialised business processes and workflows. There are also 1000's of industry specific solutions available as additional 'Apps' to install. You'll see that by using open-source solutions and joining the OpenERP community you'll inherit high-end technology at a fraction of the costs!
No Dreaded 'Lock-In'
OpenERP is developed on Python, Java and PostgreSQL; an Open Source development environment which gives you peace of mind your solution is non-propriety and avoids the dreaded 'lock-in' - commonly found with commercial solutions. With open source, there is a lot of leverage with the vendor. If you don’t like the particular vendor it’s pretty simple for you to pick it up and take it somewhere else.
Open Source Apps generally give a much higher ROI and much lower IT/IS 'Total Cost of Ownership' (TCO).
Good references are companies that have already migrated to using opensource solutions such as MySQL, Linix / Red Hat / Ubuntu, Talend, Apache, OpenOffice, Google mail, Android, etc. Let's face it - most of the Internet is driven by Open Source applications! Havard and MIT have also recently signed a joint venture to build on MITx and Harvard distance learning solution - using an open-source on-line learning platform.
It is always recommend to keep modifications of an ERP system to an absolute minimum. This keeps implementation and maintenance costs down. However OpenERP is flexible enough, should your business demands customised processes - Opensource is a better platform to build on -> read more.
As with any IT software solution - 'free' Open-Source software - in this case means free licences & FREEDOM to use - It however doesn't necessarily mean totally free of implementation and operation costs. Depending on the size of your organisation you still have your own costs to consider and for larger companies you will need to initiate a structured project and allocate resources to configure, train key and end-users and support the roll-out the solution for your needs - with in-house or external resources.An open source system should normally end up costing roughly about half of what a proprietary system would cost. While many of the costs are the same - whether you are choosing open source or commercial software – such as establishing the project; going through evaluating processes; tweaks; customisation and training – you will primarily save on ongoing licensing and maintenance cost if you choose open source.
