Subject: Re: ComputerWorld Article, Mentions OFBiz
"So Rosa hired a consultant to customize the Apache Open For Business
open-source ERP software for his firm's distribution arm.
But the project management spun out of control, causing the effort to go
over budget. The first problem: The consultant had no experience with Open
For Business, and its learning curve was steeper than expected. The second
problem: Because Open For Business is very customizable, both Prevention
Partners and its consultant "got caught up" in much customization, Rosa
recalls. And Open For Business is based on Java, which Rosa's developers
aren't experienced in, so they couldn't take over."
This guy didn't ask his consultant if he had any experience with OFBiz?
That's just that guy being stupid.
They're implying that OFBiz is "too customizable"... that sounds to me
like someone who marries his wife because she's great at conversation and
then divorces her because she talks too much.
That last sentence may as well say "OFBiz is based in Java, which is an
obscure programming language that no one knows and is a bitch to learn"...
that just makes me laugh.
Yes, David, terribly inaccurate. :)
