A Hosted Solution that Reduces your TCO
Because ERP5 Express is hosted on the servers of Nexedi you do not need to buy any costly hardware or hire any IT specialists. For the price of your subscription you get the expertise of a company that has rolled out ERP5 servers to many customers worldwide and manages many ERP5 servers.
You also don't need to upgrade your local computers because all the heavy lifting is done on the server and all you need to access your system is a webbrowser which is installed on all modern PCs.
You can simply use your existing computers and do not have to worry at all about hardware, network devices or even IT personal which allows you to strictly focus on the activities that generate value for your company.
Because ERP5 Express is updated automatically you don't even have to waste any time with this, all it takes for you to use and run ERP5 Express is the initial five to ten minutes that it takes to configure the system.
As a result, ERP5 Express can tremendously reduce the total cost of ownership (TCO) of your information infrastructure. More savings are even possible by using ERP5 Express in combination with open source software.

Unlimited Users
ERP5 Express has less limitations than many paying on demand services. It is possible to create as many users as needed, to add as many accounting transactions as required, to upload as many documents as possible. Only the guaranteed data size and the usage profile have some limitations. Such limitations are very unlikely to be reached by a small company using ERP5 to operate its daily business. However, companies looking for larger storage capacity or for the ability to stop using ERP5 Express for a long period of time should purchase ERP5 Express professional services described hereafter.
