Compiere launches enterprise ERP version
One leading open source ERP provider this week launched an enterprise edition of its software as well as upgrades to its standard and professional versions.
Redwood Shores, Calif. based Compiere has released a version of its open source ERP application that offers more scalability and availability. The company knows a bit about the enterprise: it was founded by and is managed by several former Oracle execs, including CEO Don Klaiss.
The new enterprise edition offers customers the ability to deploy Compiere on multi-server configurations and supports hundreds of concurrent users as well as large transaction volumes, Compiere announced on Wednesday.
The enterprise edition of Compiere 3.5 also offers management dashboards and patent pending web service support.
"The role-based management dashboards contain an intuitive graphical representation of data through multiple charts and graphs and enable users to easily customize and create new dashboards without programming," according to a press release issued by Compiere this week. "Utilizing a new drag and drop workbench, changes to applications can be easily made using a modern Visual Dictionary Editor, such as reconfiguring screen layouts, changing field types and business logic."
The enterprise edition's "patent-pending web services support supports the rep[resentational state transfer (REST) protocol and enables easy integration between Compiere and other application programs, Compiere announced. The technology was use to create another of the company's recently introduced product: Compiere ERP Connector for Salesforce.com.
Meanwhile, upgrades of the existing professional and standard editions offers more than 100 enhancements inclusing new financial reporting capabilities with pre built reports.
The open source ERP market is a crowded one. Others players include xTuple and OpenBravo.
