Sumer is only a tool


Buying into a proprietary modular system can be like selecting a data boss who dictates how you should run your business. Maybe it's the way you want to do it, and maybe not.

The boss might explain that there so many nuances to your data that they require specialized modules that you need to add on... blah-blah-blah...

That's nonsense. It's all the same data. There is no difference, for instance, in data between a small cafe and a sit-down restaurant. But they do have different needs for forms and reports, and breaking down forms and reports is raw meat to modular software marketing.

Sumer presents a variety of form and report templates in the library that anyone can reconfigure to their own needs. Sumer is just a tool, not a dictator. The templates are open-source. Other Sumer clients can contribute to the library.

Sumer's aspiration is to see that the best source of information for SMEOs will become managers at other SMEOs.
