<p>webERP is a complete web based accounting/ERP system that requires only a web-browser and pdf reader to use. It has a wide range of features suitable for many businesses particularly distributed businesses in wholesale and distribution. It is developed as an open-source application and is available as a free download to use. The feature set is continually expanding as new businesses and developers adopt it. There have been in excess of <a class="ext" href="http://sourceforge.net/project/stats/detail.php?group_id=70949&amp;ugn=web-erp&amp;type=prdownload&amp;mode=alltime&amp;package_id=70351">80,000 downloads to date</a>.</p>
<p>The growth of webERP adoption has been entirely through word of mouth testimony - there has never been a marketing or advertising push to &#8220;sell&#8221; webERP. Of course there are no funds nor commercial incentive to do so for free software. Instead this growth is built on reputation and solid practical functionality that works as tried and tested by an increasing number of businesses.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.openbravo.com"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-45" title="openbravo-logo" src="http://opnbusiness.com/wp-content/images/2008/04/openbravo-logo.gif" alt="" width="220" height="54" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.openbravo.com">Openbravo</a> is a fully functional, integrated, web-based, open source ERP (enterprise management system) that offers a unique value proposition - a higher value at a lower cost. The system is for small and midsize enterprises that are looking for an integrated system to manage their business. One that is capable of managing daily operations, optimizing business processes, improving customer satisfaction and, ultimately, increasing profits.</p>
<p>OpenBravo&#8217;s customers have decided to take ownership of their ERP systems and only pay for the services they really need, when they need it. Thanks to their highly qualified network of partners, Openbravo ERP has been successfully implemented in companies of different sizes and across a wide variety of sectors and activities. Openbravo offers its partners the opportunity to build a truly differentiated business based on Openbravo ERP.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.openbravo.com"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-46" title="openbravo_screenshot" src="http://opnbusiness.com/wp-content/images/2008/04/openbravo_screenshot.jpg" alt="" width="340" height="243" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Fully Functional</strong><br />
Openbravo includes the full suite of functionalities that are common nowadays in an extended ERP: procurement, warehouse, project management, manufacturing, sales and financial processes. Basic CRM (Customer Relationship Management) and BI (Business Intelligence) are built in as well. Openbravo is already in production in companies spanning several industries, including distribution, services and manufacturing.</p>
<p><strong>Truly integrated, truly an ERP</strong><br />
Openbravo is different from other &#8216;ERP solutions&#8217; that piece together independent modules, often resulting in unnecessary complexity and unstable interfaces. From the start, Openbravo was designed with the whole at heart: all functionalities share a common architecture, philosophy, rules and user interface. Yet, you can still decide if and when you configure or use each functionality provided by Openbravo.</p>
<p><strong>Open Source</strong><br />
Openbravo&#8217;s open source license permits unrestricted access to the source code and makes it possible for an independent community of IT professionals to provide services without any type of vendor lock-in. Additionally, Openbravo provides a broad range of functionalities that can be easily customized to fit the common business needs of SMEs. We understand that each company is unique and has its own specific particularities. For these companies, that require a more particular customization, we offer something more: unrestricted access to the underlying source code to tailor to your specific needs. You&#8217;re not likely to get this kind of flexibility if you license a solution from a traditional vendor.<br />
<strong><br />
Revolutionary Architecture</strong><br />
Openbravo is developed around a revolutionary architecture that results in a better way to build software applications. Through a combination of well known standards such as MVC (Model, View, Control) and MDD (Model Driven Development) an abstraction layer has been created that provides the automation of code generation. This strategy enables higher productivity than in other architectures or development platforms. Besides, it provides better quality because the files are coded always using the same rules and style. Consequently, if a specific requirement, not met by the standard solution, needs to be developed from scratch, coders can greatly benefit from a consistent coding framework.</p>
<p><strong>Fast Implementation</strong><br />
Openbravo can be installed in just a few hours. After having your business needs defined, it can be customized to fit them in a matter of days.
