[TYPO3-english] Using Typo3 as an accounting system?

[Markus Klein]

Hi!

This sounds like a normal standalone web application.
For accounting you can consider maybe one of the open source accounting system (gnu accounting is one, if I remember correctly).
If you still go for something customized, I'd recommend building this on top of TYPO3 Flow instead of TYPO3 CMS.


Kind regards
Markus
