Krishnakant Mane and his team have successfully made a tally alternative called GNU Khata. They have docs on how to migrate Tally data into GK.
They
even do it at your place for a fee. The only roadblock I see is the CAs' refusal to work on non Tally software as they get heavy discounts and promotion from the company.
That is not the real problem. The real problem is the old standards
issue.
Peutronics <whatever they are called now> keep changing their data
formats.
It is not only a CA or one client who has to switch. It is all clients
of a
CA firm and other collaborating CA firms who have to switch. Else one
will
require a continuos ongoing seamless means of data export to / from GNU Khata to Tally.
There is also the never ending issue of keeping up with the utterly daft ROC, ST, Excise, VAT departments' idiotic implementations of security certificates for esigning. Most of the above services do not function behind a proxy / firwall and require disabling to ZERO all security to
get
them working. Add to the mix M$ document formats, forms embedded in PDF, etc etc and one faces a herculean task in switching a CA's office to a GNU/Linux environment.
Plug: Hundreds of companies in India are already using ERPNext successfully. Lots of them without any external "support" from 3rd parties.
FYI: Its also "Free Software".
