The best opportunity to #GrowYourWorld for your “Next Business” is the democratization of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP). Businesses of all sizes — from startup to Global 1000 — should have the same access and ability to actively use powerful business management software, at an affordable cost.
To that end, xTuple — the word’s #1 open source ERP — hopes as many companies as possible use their free software version. We’ve seen the power of the “network” clearly over the past few years—the more people using the system, the better and more valuable the system is for everyone. xTuple PostBooks® (free) has been downloaded more than 1,000,000 times, making it among the most active open source software in the world. Nearly 30 language translations have been created by passionate, problem-solving people around the world, and most new xTuple customers are recommended by current customers.

One shining example of add-on product development from a xTuple company partner is the Fixed Asset product suite — a partner in New Zealand (and former SAP consultant) wrote a package for one of his customers to do basic fixed asset tracking. That app is available for free on the xTuple xChange store.
