Hi all, I've read the IRC meeting logs and someone raised the following issue: the larger customers pays very little (comparatively) for OpenERP. If a medium sized company (~100 users) chooses the corporate edition, it will pay less then EUR 6/user/month. It's very very different from the EUR 140/u/mo charged by the SaaS solution (I know this will be changed).
Let's compare to other offerings. Netsuite's offering STARTS at $79/user/mo. Salesforce.com which is only a CRM ranges from $6/u/mo to $69/u/mo. I know the on-demand and on-site offering are quite different, but from the user point-of-view he's almost the same solution. I don't know about the SaaS offer, but IMHO the editions should be sold also in a per user fashion - better yet if priced per module x user. This way you attach the cost with the customer's perceived value: the more I benefit from the software, the more I pay). I'm a prospecting customer - not a partner - and I raise this question because if I choose OpenERP it will be the most important piece of software my company depends on and I really want it to thrive. Software development costs a hell lot of money and if we can get the financing from the larger customers with the "quality assurance" from the small customers and the community, it should become a great ERP and my company surely will benefit from this. -------------------- m2f -------------------- -- http://www.openobject.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=33505#33505 -------------------- m2f -------------------- _______________________________________________ Tinyerp-users mailing list http://tiny.be/mailman/listinfo/tinyerp-users
