in thread LAMP is practical model?

My usage of "LAMP" is rather constrained. I use it to refer to simply the kernel, web server, database, and programming language typically used in the business. In terms of LAMP, anything not covered by the 'LAM' part will be custom-built with the 'P' bit of the acronym. But a company that sells stuff online would be silly to write its own accounting package.

    It actually depends heavily on your business. If the core competence in the company is writing software, it may be silly not to make use of it to build an accounting package that fits very precisely your needs and may give you a huge headstart on your market.
