The survey, conducted by Sequoia Open Source ERP, found that over 90%
of respondents preferred to use an open source database for their open
source ERP application. In contrast, only 7% of the respondents
preferred to use a commercial database such as Oracle or Microsoft SQL
Server.
“This seems to confirm the theory that as users become comfortable with
one open source solution, they will naturally look to other open source
software to fulfill their needs,” notes Si Chen, Principal of Open
Source Strategies, Inc. “As open source ERP and CRM applications
mature, they could become a key driver for open source database
adoption.”
Sequoia Open Source ERP is an open source ERP and CRM application which
is compatible with all major databases and can be downloaded from http://www.sequoiaerp.org Open Source Strategies, Inc. (http://www.opensourcestrategies.com)
is a strategic and technology consulting firm specializing in open
