Well, it looks like the open source ERP/CRM marketplace has really exploded over the past 4 years or so. So many products (er “solutions”). I feel that the server architecture in terms of programming language used might also be a deal breaker.
Why? Well, PHP has really moved up the “Enterprise” ladder in comparison to Java (note that Sun is going to be purchased by Oracle so will Java still be a big deal?) so does a client choose a PHP or Java solution?
Also, Python keeps making headway in IT shops (both large and small) and I feel it’ll eat away at Java’s installed base over the next few years. The RAD features of the language and it’s relative “ease of use” compared to Java is another point to consider. Look at the rapid pace of development of OpenERP (formerly TinyERP) and its related OpenObject.com site (repository) with tons of solutions to plug into OpenERP. This is very powerful and favours the use of said software.
Although I have no issue with Java’s merits and capabilities, I feel that systems based on Python and PHP will (or should) evolve more QUICKLY. Hence this aspect is important for ERP/CRM would be shoppers — regardless of it being open or closed source.
