From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Openbravo is an open source web-based ERP business solution for small and medium sized companies that is released under the Openbravo Public License, based on the Mozilla Public License[1]. The model for the program was originally based off of the Compiere ERP program, which is also open source, released under the GNU General Public License version 2. The company is also a member of the Open Solutions Alliance, a non-profit organization working for open-source standardization[2]. The program is among the top ten most active projects of Sourceforge as of December 2007[3] Development decisions are made by Openbravo, S.L., located in Pamplona, Spain[4].

[edit] Features
Openbravo features a web-based interface, where the user can view the entire status of a company, including production information, inventory, customer information, order tracking, and workflow information. It is possible to synchronize this information with other applications through the Openbravo API, which is Java-based. Openbravo can also create and export reports and data to several formats, such as PDF and Excel. As Openbravo is web-based, it is possible to access the interface from anywhere that there is an internet connection.[1]
[edit] Architecture
Openbravo's architecture, based off that of Compiere, focuses on two development frameworks, model-view-controller, in which data is not directly handled by the user, it is instead manipulated by the controllers, and model-driven development, in which models of code are created, and user-created code is inserted. These two models allow for integration with other programs and for a simple interface[5]
