Since there is open interaction among thousands of contributors and partners working on the same project, the quality of the resulting software greatly benefits from the scrutiny. And you cannot be everything at once: accountant, software developer, salesperson, ISO 9001 quality professional, specialist in agricultural products, expert in the customs and habits of pharmaceutical vendors, just as a start.

Faced with these wide-ranging requirements, what could be better than a worldwide network of partners and contributors? Every single person adds own contributions according to his or her professional competence. Throughout this book you will see that the results exceed any reasonable expectations when such work is well organized.

But the real challenge of development is to make this solution simple and flexible, as well as complete. And to reach this level of quality you need a leader and co-ordinator who can organize all of these activities. So the development team of Tiny[nbsp]ERP, today called OpenERP, is responsible for most of the organization, synchronization and coherence of the software.

And OpenERP offers great performance in all these areas!

The OpenERP Solution

14.

Because of its modularity, collaborative developments in OpenERP have been cleanly integrated, enabling any company to choose from a large list of available functions. As with most open source software, accessibility, flexibility and ease of use are important keywords for development. Experience has shown that there is no need to train users for several months on the system, because they can just download it and use it directly.

So you will find modules to suit all kinds of needs, allowing your company to build its customized system by simply grouping and configuring the most suitable modules. Hundreds of modules are available.

They range from specific modules like the EDI interface for agricultural products, which has been used to interface with Match and Leclerc stores, up to the generic demonstration automation module for ordering sandwiches, which can take care of the eating preferences of your staff.

The results are rather impressive. OpenERP (originally called Tiny ERP) is a Management Software that is downloaded more than any other in the world, with over 600 downloads per day. Today it is available in 18 languages and has a worldwide network of partners and contributors. Over 800 developers participate in the projects on the collaborative development system.

To our knowledge, OpenERP is the only management system which is routinely used not only by big companies but also by very small companies and independent companies. This diversity is an illustration of the software's flexibility: a rather elegant coordination between people's functional expectations of the software and great ease of use.
