March Meeting: OpenPro LAMP-Based ERP

Main Topic: OpenPro Software: LAMP in the Business World - Jim Clark

OpenPro CEO Jim Clark will explain how his company uses Open Source LAMP technology to create a full-featured ERP application. He will describe the business model for competing against closed-source packages in the mercantile world.

Jim will demo the user interface which has to be simple and consistent across applications yet flexible for power-users. PHP and JavaScript allow all applications to be Web accessible across the Internet.

Business software requires sharing of information among most departments in a company. Jim will show us how the MySQL database was designed to facilitate intra-company sharing. OpenPro uses ADOdb to reduce inconsistencies between MySQL, PostgreSQL, and other databases.

Jim will divulge OpenPro's future goals which may include opportunities for bright LAMP programmers.
