Amberdms gives open source accounting green light

“The Amberdms Billing System (ABS) is developed in PHP and
provides a set of business management applications including
accounting, customer management, time tracking, project management
and service billing. ABS runs on the popular “LAMP” stack.

“Amberdms managing director Jethro Carr founded the company in
2007 to support a part-time venture providing Web-based database
software to educational groups.

“A year later Carr left his day job to develop ABS
full-time.

“”Whilst ABS needed to be developed to meet internal Amberdms
needs, the main reason for its existence is the experiences I had
at my previous job,” Carr said.

“”I had been involved with supporting a rather badly-coded
proprietary billing platform for an ISP, as well as being in charge
of a project to link this billing system to another accounting
application.”
