question about customers "management" webapp

[Jonathan Ben Avraham]

Hi Hetz,
I suspect that this idea would be a misuse of technology.

Unless you have more than about 100 customers, you should be able to 
organize your business around three or four OOo templates, a spreadsheet 
with two or three pages, a small set of PDF documents, and a simple web 
site. For billing user something like "Rivhit", or outsource your billing 
to a bookkeeper. That's all you need for consulting.

I would have second thoughts about hiring an IT consultant who needs a CRM 
system to manage 10-20 customers ;-)
