Interview with Openbravo COO

Sean Michael Kerner published an interesting interview with Josep Mitjà, COO of Openbravo.

Openbravo is, along with Compiere, opentaps, ADempiere Bazaar, at the top of the OS ERP game but, being fully Web based, it might be the best headed for the future of ERP as we discussed in this post.

Plus, as Josep said:

We do have inquiries about Compiere, mainly because Openbravo's application dictionary originated from a 2002 version of Compiere, and as the application dictionary defines the contents of each screen, the two applications can appear to have some similar features.

Compiere's work was seminal and we are careful to duly identify any original and modified code. However, contrary to Compiere, we have a dedicated engine that delivers a fully Web-based interface. Our current code base is almost entirely comprised of original, continually evolving Openbravo-developed code.

Opentaps (Apache OFBiz actually) is also fully Web based.

Hi Christian.

I believe Opentaps (or OfBiz) is fully Web "enabled" but not "based".

By that I mean that one is built with the Web interface in mind, while the other evolved to have a Web interface, but it is not its funding principle.
