[Linux-migration-list] migrating off of great plains software

[Robert P. J. D. <rp...@mi...>]

  someone local mentioned briefly that he'd *love* to migrate
his company off of great plains software.  i got no more detail
out of him than that, so does anyone know

a) what that entire software suite represents?
b) a linux-based alternative?

It's  "a total solution for organizational profitability and customer
satisfaction. The combination of a complete field service solution with
superior business management capabilities helps you manage all aspects
of your operations."

Does payroll, accounting (payables & receivables), logistics & supply
chain flow, ISO compliance tracking, commerce, ordering, help desk flow
yada,yada,yada...

complete Business Process management solution.

I'm not aware of a single OSS app or set of integrated apps that will
provide the same functionality.

i thought as much, but this guy was *really* keen to find an alternative,
since the licensing fees were beating them up pretty thoroughly.

on a side note, has anyone tried "compiere" as a CRM?  www.compiere.org.
any reviews one way or the other?
