• Aordable
Flexible and Easy to
Adapt
Openbravo’s agile business platform enables IT/business
alignment, ecient organizational responsiveness, and the
aggressive pursuit of time-sensitive business
opportunities. Benets include:
• Adapt Software to Your Needs, Not Your Needs to Software -
Openbravo breaks away from the ‘one size ts all’
nature of monolithic ERP solutions which force you to install
a massive code base then use expensive consultants to
scale it back. Agile ERP from Openbravo is dierent because it
features a lean, exible architecture that allows you to
adapt the software to the needs of your business, not the
other way around.
• Modular Architecture - An extensible architecture lets you
quickly add functionality from hundreds of pre-packaged
modules that can be installed from a central repository in
some cases with only a few clicks. Modules add capabilities
and tools such as Dunning reports, extended costing, tracking
attributes for inventory and more. Modules also integrate
with other applications or deliver local language and currency
support.
• Model Driven Development – Model driven development uses
‘rules’ instead of ‘code’ to dene business processes.
This means once you create a rule for managing a process, it
can be easily applied throughout Openbravo without
repetitive and error-prone code changes.
• Integrate with Other Applications – Openbravo’s open
API allows simple integration with other enterprise
applications
like ecommerce, CRM, BI and more using a best-in-class, secure
API based on RESTful web services available via
XML, JSON, and SOAP.
• Always Easy to Update – With most solutions, once you
customize something, it becomes nearly impossible to upgrade
anything. Openbravo’s core, modules, and your customizations
can always be automatically updated, so you
can easily upgrade any component risk-free how and when you
want to.
Web Based and Cloud
Ready
A fully web based ERP solution is still rare in today’s
market, as most products have monolithic client-server
architectures
requiring extensive IT management. Openbravo’s **0%
web-based Agile ERP, requires only a single server and
single
point of administration for all business units and
employees. Benets include:
• Anywhere Access – A web-based solution means employees
can access the system and stay productive from anywhere
in the world using their preferred internet-enabled device –
Mac or PC, tablets and smart phones.

cost of provisioning servers at every oce, warehouse, or
store,
Openbravo dramatically accelerates your ability to extend ERP
support to new facilities an any location, saving resources
and eliminating capital expense.

Openbravo eliminates the cost and frustration of pulling

Accelerate Employee
Productivity
Openbravo’s broad functional footprint and best-in-class
user experience improves productivity and collaboration,
while streamlining operations to support real-time
decision-making across your business. Benets include:
• Easy Information Access – Unlike applications with
complex interfaces that are dicult to use, Openbravo looks
and feels like a desktop application, so users of spreadsheets
and other common applications immediately feel comfortable
with it.
• Accelerate Employee Productivity – Intuitive commands
allow employees to complete common tasks faster and
more accurately than before. As a result, users recapture time
lost to old manual processes so they can add value to
your business in new ways.

solutions is poor employee adoption due to unfamiliar
user interfaces and non-intuitive commands. With it’s
familiar look and feel, Openbravo users require minimal
training
to realize new productivity gains.
• Low Risk – When you combine desktop quality
productivity, intuitive commands, and high adoption rates – the
risk
of poor adoption and organizational resistance drops
dramatically, allowing companies to select Openbravo with a
high degree of condence.
Aordable
Openbravo changes the economics of ERP by enabling the
cost-eective deployment, growth and maintenance of
a battle-tested suite of business applications that are
truly tailored to the needs of your business. Benets
include:
• Open Source – Commercial open source software is widely
understood to cost less than proprietary solutions because
you don’t have to pay for the right to use some versions of
the software. Because the code is freely available to
developers, innovation within open source ecosystems is rapid
and cost-eective which further lowers long-term TCO.
• Adaptability – Adapting an ERP is always a necessary
step for any implementation. With highly aordable licenses,
Openbravo customers realize signicant savings that can fund
customization and additional development so your
implementation meets the precise needs of your business.
• Subscription Pricing – Most ERP vendors require
perpetual licenses with a large up front payment, which can
result
in a loss of vendor motivation after the sale to ensure
adoption rates and customer success. Instead, subscription
pricing from Openbravo places additional weight on us to
ensure your ongoing success and satisfaction.
• No Vendor Lock-in – Because Openbravo is open source and
uses trusted open source license terms, you never lose
the right to use your instance of Openbravo Professional
Edition - even if you become dissatised with it for any
reason.
• Extended Open Source Aordability – Openbravo relies on
mainstream open source web technology through our
stack, including Java, Javascript, Web Services, PostgreSQL,
as well aspublic wiki-based documentation. This minimizes
platform and supplier lock-in, while assuring a global supply
of competitive Openbravo-capable IT talent.
