It seems like a different era, but I vividly remember the excitement my wife and I felt when thinking about names for our two girls. We decided to keep it a mystery, so we had lists of both boy and girl names. Lots of discussion ensued — as anyone who's been in that happy situation can certainly confirm.
We're going through something similar here at xTuple. We already know quite a bit...
So a handful of us got together a week or so ago to fix some bugs. No big deal, right? Actually it was.
Five xTuple partners and I met at erpDevelopers' worldwide headquarters in Chicago — many thanks to Jeff and Rob for their warm hospitality. We sat around a conference table for three (3) days and nights , collaborating and hacking. A few had done this before; others were fairly new...

Having built out its mobile credentials over the past few years, xTuple is now eyeing opportunities involving commerce applications.

This just in: The infamous Chicago syndicate calling themselves "erpDevelopers" has sent us this "threatening" note regarding Gil Moskowitz, xTuple's director of software development , as follows:
"Once Gil lands in Chicago…he’s ours. The Ransom Demand will be horrific!!!!! Just a bunch of Chicago gangsters ‘doing their thing’!!!!!"
And this image was included in...
Last month I attended the association for operations management ( APICS ) conference in Las Vegas. It’s been a while since I exhibited at that show — partly because trade shows in general have been slipping downward on a slow decline since the early 2000s. Trades shows have always been a great way for companies like us to meet customers and prospects face-to-face and hear from the "horse's...

A smart company’s leadership will always probe their operational departments on “How do we do this?” and “Who does this?” — followed up by the hard question “Why do we do this?”
Yes, the reasons vary widely as to why a business would want to implement an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system. First and foremost firms want to knit the organization together on a common platform, an...

Payroll . It's a word that evokes a visceral reaction from most business owners. (And, let's be honest, business software vendors, too!)
It can be a real black hole for staff and management time — and expense . The very definition of something that's not a core competency for really any business BUT a payroll provider. Something that, in a nutshell, begs to be outsourced.
