Background
Open source applications, like ERPlite, are continuously improved and developed collaboratively by
large numbers of programmers/users around the world. New features are
added faster, and quality tested by thousands of real-world users. Bugs
are identified and fixed more quickly, and with an openness and candor that
most traditional IT managers find refreshing.
Most of these customizations are tested and integrated into the
regular commercial releases by erplite.com inc for distribution to all other users
with a valid support license.
Building Blocks
ERPlite is built using mature building blocks: Microsoft Access, VBA, C
#, VB.net, asp.net, MySQL, SQLserver.
Fully Customizable:
All ERPlite Reports, Labels, Forms, Queries and VBA
source code are free for Microsoft Access 97/2000/XP. Several ERPlite ActiveX components
are included that can be used for customization. Source code is not
available for these ActiveX components. However, the user can choose to use their
own custom methods rather than the methods from these ActiveX components. The
bottom line is that 100% of the functionality of ERPlite is customizable.
Licensing
ERPlite
is available via commercial license, under which erplite.com inc takes
full responsibility for its products.
GPL License
Some products (such as Linux and MySQL), are
available free under a pure 100% source code GPL/OSI license.
http://opensource.org/licenses/gpl-license.php Under the GPL licence,
there are no warranties or representations from the developer (i.e. from MySQL
AB). Market size has not justified releasing ERPlite under a GPL license, yet.
Quotes for Customization
erplite.com inc will support the customers
chosen customization team (either inhouse or contract) as long as the customer
has a valid support license. erplite.com inc will gladly provide quotes for
customization for customers. Usually, erplite.com inc quotes will be
compellingly competitive because:
- erplite.com inc
programmers know the existing code inside/out
- existing code may be
modifiable to meet the need
- the custom changes may
increase ERPlite's market, thus allowing erplite.com inc to
recover some of the developement costs via future sales.
For example, the average
cost of a custom report has been $200. More complex
customizations may cost more. To request a free quote, contact
