By the way there is many open source ERP softwares that are actively developing with many different viewpoints and goals.

Currently at Sethack we are working at a project to localize a great piece of ERP software named OpenERP and these works published in Iran soon.

 

OpenERP

This software is one of the best amongs its competitors both by design and support of community.

Sethack by considering the abilities of OpenERP, started a project to localize this software and develop current and new modules for it. This may be interesting to note that we simoultaneously both developing it and used it. This caused to we can feel what our client will feel and it certainly can enhance the usage and reduce the bugs in final product.
