What is GNUe? An Overview.
GNU Enterprise is a meta-project which is part of the
overall GNU Project.
It is three linked things:
- A set of tools, such as a
data-aware user forms interface, a reporting system and an
application server, which provide a development framework for
enterprise information technology professionals to write or
customise data-aware applications and deploy them effectively
across large or small organisations. The GNUe platform boasts an
open architecture and
easy maintenance. It gives users a modular system
and freedom from being stuck with a single-source vendor.
GNUe supports multi-language interfaces and non-ASCII character sets.
- A set of packages written
using the tools, to implement a full Enterprise Resource Planning
(ERP) system. From human resources,
accounting, customer relationship management and project management
to supply chain or e-commerce, GNUe can handle the needs of any
business, large or small. GNUe supports multi-currency processing
(including euro support).
- A general community of
support and resources for developers writing applications using the
GNUe Tools (whether part of the 'official' GNUe Packages or not).
It is designed to collect Enterprise software for the GNU system in
a single location (much like the GNOME
project collects Desktop software).
GNUe is a Free Software project
(released under the GNU
General Public License) with
a corps of volunteer developers around the world working on GNUe
projects. This provides the added benefits of easy
internationalization of applications.
The project is working to provide a worldwide GNUe community,
allowing everyone who is involved in the project access to other
talented business information technology professionals.
NOTE
GNUe is a work in progress. For the status of various packages, please view
our Current Status document. In general,
most of the tools are usable, despite
their pre-1.0.0 version numbers, and are actually in production use
at a number of live sites. Most of the
packages are at proposal stage or
earlier, but this is expected to change soon.
GNUe Small Business is an unofficial sub-project of the GNUe
project, designed to produce a quick solution to the needs of
small to medium enterprises (SMEs). More information can be
found on the gnue-sb
website.
