What is a good content management system my business can use to replace using microsoft excel for records.?

My business is currently using a series of excel spreadsheets to manage purchase orders, quoting, invoices, inventory, etc.

I have looked into open source ERPs to find a solution, but i plan on creating that in the future to replace the spreadsheets, and my current manufacturing software to be integrated together.

So for now, I was wondering if there are any open source and preferably web-based (to use in an intranet) solutions that can replace using excel for recording logs.

Thanks in advance.

Here are a few ideas I can think of off the top of my head.

Both of the above options provide good solid choices but cost money. If you are looking for an open source document management or content management solution, then you definitely need to look at Alfresco.

What is the best Content Management System ?

I guess the title says pretty much that’s it. What I meant by "best" is easier to use and flexible to change the layout without actually digging up into CSS.

Why do we need a Content Management System?

Why do we need a Content Management System for a website?

Yes Filip is right,
Websites need to be continuously monitored and updated. Manual configuration and updating of Websites can really be a tiresome job. With a content management system, the website owner or non-technical staff can directly edit the pre-defined content on the web pages. This system allows our clients to specify an area in any one of the web page where the clients needs to make the changes without messing the entire webpage.
