Hi, I wonder if we should not change a bit this paragraph:. <<Apache OFBiz is a foundation and starting point for enterprise solutions, be they for one organization or one million. OFBiz can certainly be used OOTB (out of the box), but if you're looking for something that works really well for that there are many open source projects that do a great job there. OFBiz is great for creating specialized applications for use OOTB by other organizations. OFBiz is also great for organizations that need more than what an OOTB application can offer in order to grow their operations, but find the deployment and maintenance costs of traditional enterprise systems that can handle such things to be unreasonable or unjustifiable.>>
It seems (Sastry was not the only one who interpretated it like that) to suggest that OFBiz is more a framework to build on, than an usable software OOTB. Actually, what makes me worry is the sentence <<but if you're looking for something that works really well for that there are many open source projects that do a great job there>> For me, this means that there are a lot of other projects that are designed to be used OOTB. But, from my experience, I wonder if some persons do not interpret this phrase as <<look rather for an application built on OFBiz and ready to use>>. I'd propose to simplify: <<Apache OFBiz is a foundation and starting point for enterprise solutions, be they for one organization or one million. OFBiz can be used OOTB (out of the box), and OFBiz is great for creating specialized applications for use OOTB by other organizations. OFBiz is also great for organizations that need more than what an OOTB application can offer in order to grow their operations, but find the deployment and maintenance costs of traditional enterprise systems that can handle such things to be unreasonable or unjustifiable.>> What do you think ? Jacques From: "sastry mln" <[email protected]> Hi, In https://demo.ofbiz.org/ofbiz/cms/cms , there is an Introduction paragraph that reads : "Apache OFBiz is a foundation and starting point for enterprise solutions .... " To me it suggests that OfBiz may not be fully usable OOTB and we should take it as a base line to build applications using that frameworks & tools that come with ofbiz. "OFBiz can certainly be used OOTB, but if you're looking for something that works really well for that there are many open source projects that do a great job there. " What aspect of functionality this refers to, that does not really work well in ofbiz ? and what other open source projects we are suggesting here? Please provide your views .. regards Sastry
