@vrs,
> from what I found the best expert on openERP is Rafael Valyi Hey thanks. I'm actually a "visible" expert of OpenERP but I sure in a great range of features (like accounting) there are lots of independent guys here that know it much better. My "added value" has been in digging deep into the other open source alternatives thanks to the Smile whitepaper initiative. Still, lots of folks here also know proprietaries ERP's so much better than me. > p.s. is it openObject platform behind it? The submission form looks very > much openERP-ish. Yes absolutely, it's the "comparison" module inside the trunk-extra-addons branch on Launchpad here: https://code.launchpad.net/...addons/trunk-extra-addons BTW, Fabien, I agree with what has been told here, it's difficult to trust someone who is somewhat both judge and party, no matter how honest is your comparison (even if I agree on the centric stuff and bug levels also plays a huge part in implementation cost, it's not reflected). An immense part of OpenERP competitiveness is also its ease of extension by coding simple modules, that study doesn't reflect it either, that's a bad point for OpenERP. Finally, my take is that you better allocate those resources on your product, it will soon be so great that no one would question it instead. I even think that Smile's withepaper I wrote will be dead in 6 months or so, for the same reason that Smile and me are now judge and party (we weren't), the product evolves and neither Smile neither me can claim to extend the study further impartially unfortunately (but others could do it). An other reason why this withepaper will be dead is that I really bet OpenERP will be so much stronger than the OSS alternatives in say one year (Not only you are years ahead already, but you also develop times faster using a fraction of the resources other like Compiere or Openbravo spend). Who will really care comparing OpenERP to say ERP5 then? Chance are this would be like comparing the Linux Kernel to GNU Hurd, not even pertinent anymore. However, I'll myself rather spend time showcasting OpenERP, I believe this will just be way more efficient in promoting it, cause there aren't so many products embracing such a large scope you can download for free and start ensuring what is showcased actually works (well, when there is no bug ;-). Most of your open source rivals are doomed to slideware demos instead, ashamed by their own obsolete interfaces and lack of business features, with no community contributing awesome stuff to show every month. ------------------------ Raphaël Valyi CEO and OpenERP consultant at http://www.akretion.com -------------------- m2f -------------------- -- http://www.openobject.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=43090#43090 -------------------- m2f --------------------
