OpenPSA – an Open Source Professional Services Automation suite

OpenPSA is a nifty little application with integrating several thing you could need in a service organization or micro-corporation using the MidGard CMS framework (that's how i actually found it…)

It's not a full fledged pm solution, but could come in very handy if you are satisfied with these features that even include time reporting and some small CRM options:
