Golly, what a can of worms is open here. Actually what drew me to ofBiz was the
amount of updates to the system.
The last commercial ERP solution we considered was SYSPRO. The folks at Syspro
PRIDE themselves on weekly ports to their software. I have/had an .iso of a
marketing DVD they have with almost two hours of non-stop preaching how ERP
systems must and should be updated on a continuous basis, and that point release
updates are evil. (e.g. 5.0 -> 6.0 on done every 18 months)
I was sold. Couldn't justify the seat costs for the number I needed, but I was
sold on the concept. During our courting period I also got a weekly email that
was similar to what Si Chen does with his blog listing the dozen or so
improvements to the system in the past week, and this in an ERP system with
15,000 current installs.
As a end user, what I am looking for is non-failure. Thus far I have more than
enough trust in the core developers to always do the right thing.
