Servers are important but you can use web based applications. They really are the future. For your Office Word processing softwares and spreadsheets you can use Google Docs or Live Documents.

There are a couple of Web Based CRM Clients as well (cant remember the names!)

For Project Collaboration, setting milestones you might want to use Deskaway (http://www.deskaway.com/). Deskaway will soon double up as an ERP and CRM tool for small businesses (or atleast thats what i heard). Either way i’ve been using it for a while and iv been really impressed.

I only use web based applications. You can lease server space on other people’s servers. Saves physical space as well.

If you are starting out – just look to systemize your processes and making few mistakes.

I highly recommend NOW deciding to not use Microsoft products.

It will, initially, be painful – but you’ll never look back. Use either Linux, FreeBSD or MacOS.

Your running costs will be less, your environment will be more reliable, etc.

You can do alot with OpenOffice 2.0 (free), a substitute for MS Office. There are all kinds of business/inventory packages that run on all of the above (not experienced with the stuff on FreeBSD, but have had good luck under Linux and MacOS).
