I came across a very good open source ERP solution called OpenBravo. Its built using J2EE which is the same technology used by SAP, Oracle, IBM, BEA etc. The software seems to be mature and has all the features that are being currently provided by mySAP with the difference being that its free to use.
Of course once cannot claim that OpenBravo is a drop in replacement for mySAP. But then its also a fact that not all the features available in mySAP are used by all of SAP's customers. OpenBravo could probably be sufficient for more than 40% of mySAP users.
The fact that it is open source also means that anyone can change its source code to better reflect how things work in their organization.
