Open Source Business Management Framework
Features
Nervatura is a business management framework based on open-data principle. It can handle any type of business related information, starting from customer details, up to shipping, stock or payment information.
The open-data principle regulates the access to our business data. The point is the logic of the data storage. It means that the data are defined for storage so, that those are compliant with an open data-model which could be accessed and interpreted by anyone. It doesn't concern the physical storage of the data, that can be implemented according to one's needs. However it should ensure that data can be managed safely according to published description. Retrieving, new data creation, possibility to export the entire data structure should be provided.
What are the main advantages of open-data applications?
- safety: provided one's have proper usage rights and physical access to a database, then will be able to interpret and process the data correctly without any help or permission from a third party. Information in the data becomes independent of any management system, its treatment is not tied to specific programs or technologies.
- efficiency and cost reduction: the business management system can be developed and diversified in accordance with one's needs. There is no need and pressure to be tied to a solution of any vendor, the most appropriate tools and programs can be selected for all tasks. The only criteria is that selected applications should be able to communicate and exchange data with each other or with a central database according to the open-data description. The elements of the system can at any time be flexibly developed or new ones added by choosing the best offers available on the market.
