Not to be to protective, but EGS is not just a CRM tool, it offers 
project management, ticketing, and calendaring too,  the whole point of 
it is to have a single system from which to run a business as a posed to 
several disparate systems. It is not just a salesforce.com clone as the 
majority of those above seem to be, and I have been trying to work on 
weberp integration for some time 
(http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=8517406) although 
have stalled somewhat at present working on other functionality.

Of course integration with some of these tools may be easier and of 
course everyone has to weigh up the pros and cons of what they want from 
the integration (integration with the above products may suit some 
people down to the ground), but when I last looked most of the projects 
above did not have any intentions to add any functionality above that 
required of the CRM, and this is where EGS is different.

At present EGS is in a state between CRM and weperp. All of the CRM is 
linked into the project management and has some job costing and time 
tracking facilities present (it is this functionality we have been 
working on for a client, and why we paused looking at weberp for a 
while), it is on this that we would like to expand by adding the ability 
to run accounting/erp etc from the system. With the possibility of 
weberp running on postgres it seems to be the best system for us to 
integrate (we have looked at sql-ledger too) and that is why we 
appraoched weberp to find out more ( I was unaware of any other projects 
looking to do this too).

Obviously I am biased since a lot of my blood, sweat and tears have gone 
into EGS, but I for one will continue to look at integrating web-erp 
with EGS since I believe it to be a fairly trivial task (famous last 
words) once I have gotten web-erp to run on postgresql due to the way 
out database is laid out.

So my slightly ranting email aside, if anyone has gotten web-erp to work 
on postgresql I would be most interested to your experiences.

Thanks

Jake
