I had come from the big-iron ERP world where pricing was NEVER revealed. In that world, pricing would go to the prospective customer only AFTER exhaustive demos and sales meetings and qualification phone...

One of my favorite quotes these days is from “ Sideshow ” by Sheri S. Tepper: “Evil comes from unchecked power.” Oracle's recent lawsuit against Google over their use of Java in the Android operating system is ample proof of this if there wasn't enough already in the world at large.
How does Oracle get away with this? Java is mostly open source, isn't it? Well, actually, software can...

It's easy for us full time developers to get sucked into blogging mostly about our own achievements in a release cycle. However, as an open source project I don't think we should neglect shining the spotlight on contributions from our community. After all, these are the people using the software in the real world and trying to solve real world problems with it. In fact well over 100...
We recently released version 3.5.2 of our xTuple ERP application. This release fixes a couple of discreet, yet significant , issues that were discovered after the 3.5.1 release was sent into production. While on the surface this release does not appear to be a significant departure from previous releases, it is. Our goal is to provide the best products and services possible and in order to do...

Why do we implement ERP? Ask several different companies and you will get a variety of answers. The one answer I hear most often, indeed a common refrain from those who are most successful is: “To integrate all facets of our business on a single application platform.” This makes sense especially when you consider that the 'E' in ERP is Enterprise.
