Open Source software has taken a definite interest with small businesses and off-loads a great amount of stress from the owner in regards to licenses and subscription costs.

Since "open source" and "enterprise" are in the same sentence, don't assume that open source software doesn't have quality characteristics. Open source software powers most small businesses and gives them a sigh of relief when filling a certain business need with little or no cost to the business.

The initial setup of certain applications may cause some distress, but the gratification is immediate when installed properly.

Now to the list. Intranet Journal describes the Top 10 Open Source Applications for Enterprise Users. Out of the 10 applications listed, I've used seven of them and I would definitely recommend this list to business startups.

If you are looking for more open source applications for enterprise users, check out last year's post on Free Open Source Business Applications.
