A free, open-source software for managing projects using an open-source approach.
I recently had the opportunity to review ]project-open[ software, an open-source project management system that offers a wide range of features to aid in project collaboration, management, and reporting. With functionality ranging from internet collaboration to timesheet management, customer relationship management (CRM), and more, this platform is truly comprehensive.
One of the standout features of ]project-open[ is the ability to tap into thousands of "manyears" of development time from other open-source projects. By utilizing existing projects such as OpenACS, AOLServer, PostgreSQL, CygWin, CVS, Postfix, Linux, Pound, Inno Setup, and others, this platform already contains many of the same features that are currently being developed and announced by large international companies.
Additionally, ]project-open[ offers a variety of modules to further enhance its functionality. These modules include Data Warehouse, Room Reservation, e-Commerce, Automatic Testing, Content Management, Events, Bug Tracker, Categorization, Wiki, RSS Support, Blog, WebDAV, Soap & XML-RPC, Calendar, Performance Profiling, CRM Campaigns, Jabber Integration, Filestorage, Glossary Database, News Aggregator, Online Surveys, and Webmail.
Overall, ]project-open[ is an ideal solution for project-oriented companies such as IT consultancies, general consultancies, and advertising agencies. While it may not be the best fit for companies dealing with physical goods, alternatives such as Compiere or Open for Business may provide better solutions for their needs.
