09.04.09 Openbravo Helps Take ERP In New Direction By Doug Caverly Openbravo, the specialist in Web-based, open source ERP and POS solutions, is having a good week. Things started out (on Tuesday, technically) with the launch of a new application aimed at small businesses. This morning, the company received an award from InfoWorld. Let's touch on the launch of Openbravo Quickstart Edition first. Manel Sarasa, Openbravo's CEO, noted in a statement, "The ERP industry makes it very difficult for small companies looking to acquire their first system, with a confusing array of compromises around options such as license cost, services cost, time-to-value, technology and expandability. With QuickStart, Openbravo throws down the gauntlet in the form of a simple, no-compromises approach . . ."

Then there's the award angle to consider. If Openbravo's products are award-worthy, then they're even more likely to attract new users to the industry. And indeed the products are (award-worthy), according to InfoWorld, which named Openbravo "Best of Open Source Enterprise Software." So what's been a good week for Openbravo should prove a pretty decent one for the ERP sphere as a whole, too. Having a three-day weekend ahead doesn't worsen the situation, either, of course.
