No longer is it a special case for companies and their teams to find themselves in a meeting with participants who aren’t sitting (or standing) in the room with them.

Kai Rödiger, Jonas Depoix, and Mario Truß were at the ERPNext Conference 2019  in Mumbai representing //SEIBERT/MEDIA as both supporters and as users. The following article is an overview of their experience at the conference. ERPNext is an open-source ERP system, meaning that it’s also free of charge and license-free. It’s developed by the Indian software producer Frappe. //SEIBERT/MEDIA has decided to use ERPNext as a central customer database, and they’ve put an internal IT team in charge of implementing the system. For us, this is an investment in the future.
