If you've been around xTuple for a while, you probably used our Hosted Demo service at one point. While you've always been able to download the xTuple client, and set up your own PostBooks® database locally, many people have found it helpful to use the same client to connect to a hosted instance of their own xTuple Enterprise database. We're pleased to announce the successor to that program —...
Technology endures at the forefront of a generational change in business. The haves and the have-nots (or the on-boards and not-on-boards) show us a digital divide that is ever widening.
The recent National Association of Electrical Distributors (NAED) National Meeting held in Boston, Massachusetts, was another excellent example of how a national association can and does help its...
Speaking at the Software & Information Industry Association ( SIIA ) “All About the Cloud” ( AATC ) conference, Marc O’Brien, Vice President of Business Development at xTuple, noted a key trend — morphed into “the cloud” — the concept of commercial open source . As open source software becomes mission-critical, it’s important to have a reliable vendor who can support it. The open source...

After his company outgrew their old business management software, Kevin Biltz of Kemp Electric Supply Co. embarked on a search for a replacement. Biltz knew he needed more — and better — information from his internal systems. He was wary of older systems acquired over time by...

PostBooks® is another open source tool with all the usual accounting features: general ledger, accounts payable and receivable, invoicing, bank reconciliation and more, all accessible via a well-presented interface. But that's just the start.
A new Advanced Purchasing Authorizations extension package has just been released.
The Advanced Purchasing Authorization package adds comprehensive purchasing limits to the xTuple system and prevents the release and printing of purchase orders unless the user releasing the PO has sufficient authority to release those orders. Purchasing Authorizations are set up as a matrix of...

Now those guys, they know how to squeeze customers!
Some delightfully straight talk from Dell's software chief, John Swainson, in an interview with IDG . He's talking about their challenges rationalizing all the (largely IT admin) products they've acquired, notably through their buyout of Quest Software. That specific field is a little out of our wheelhouse here [at xTuple], but the...
