4. OpenERP
https://www.openerp.com/it/
We use it for accounting and HR
management.
While it has a plugin for project
management it doesn't have any
document management capabilities.

5. Scrumdo
http://www.scrumdo.com/
More focused on product development than
consulting, it doesn't have time tracking
and it's not as open as we'd like it to be.
We love some of its features and its quick UI.

6. Zest - Extreme management
http://plone.org/products/extreme-management-tool
We used it until now, we can
customize it easily but its data
structure is too deeply rigid for us.

11. Epics.
Mutuated from scrumdo, allow a higher level
planning that is useful to "get the big picture"
when managing big projects.
Could also be used to present the customer with a
more familiar "waterfall-like" planning.
