Open Source Vs Commercial
Kok Choon Kow
For open source accounting, it is the best way to integrate
your existing open source projects, though you might need a very strong team of
peoples to enhance the features. Lack of many commercial oriented features and
user friendliness is the biggest problem of open source.
When the company has a lots of development resources (Big
team of programmers), and dedicated to a focus industry, it is always better
and cheaper to utilize open source and create their own proprietary software.
This is not to say small company cannot benefit from open
source, but they must be very focus on a specific area, and be able to extend the
open source project to cover every aspect in that area.
When we turn to commercial solution, everything is
different. Instead of employing lots of programmers for development, we can
always outsource the tools to other vendors. Such tools might include:
Reporting tools
Distribution tools (setup, installer compiler)
Online Analytic and Processing (OLAP) analysis tools
Accounting source code (Require by every business related software)
Many other…
Commercial solution is always the best in term of
features
and
time saving
, but they cost a lot in the initial investment,
including the time and money use to review and purchase of tools, and how to
integrate various different tools into position.
Time and efficiency is always the key to commercial products;
any products that fail to deliver in time will not survive competition in
commercial environment.
For System Integrator or Business Software Company, I would
highly recommend going for commercial solution, unless your company is full of
development resources.
By spending a little bit of money and you will save a lots
of time in development, hence shorten your system delivery time to market.
One big concern from developer is the ease of integration
between existing system and other system. Traditionally accounting software
will provide import/export function in their software, and the integration is
very strict forward: Just import and export, while this might not be very nice,
because:
Time to import / export is always slower compare to integrated system
Time to integrate though is not long, but will not be as easy as Cynics Accounting (I will introduce
later).
Interface and feels is 2 separate systems, decrease the value of whole solution.
Cynics accounting provides easy integration with “integration
stored procedure" ready. There are many commercial source codes available
around, but only Cynics Software provides plug-in architecture in the solution.
Customer may want to try the GL source code before
purchasing the complete accounting. It is pricing at low with full
source code available and ready to integrate with any commercial system.
