Adempiere announces ADempiere Business Inc.
The ADempiere Project has announced today the incorporation of ADempiere Business Inc in the USA.
USA (November 22, 2006) –
ADempiere Business is a business entity that will subsequently file for non-profit status which will be complete focus on supporting the usage of ADempiere as a mission critical solution in the enterprise across the globe.
The Inc was filed with haste to avoid industrial name squatting as has happened with ADempiere’s URLS. The Inc has also registered its Trademark with the relevent authorities. Meanwhile, Ramiro Vergara, Public Affairs Liason has opened a thread in the SourceForge Bazaar’s Open Forum for comments and discussions about how best to regulate the Inc’s existence, roles and functions.
An ADempiere Foundation of Europe is also underway and in due time to take a higher role of fulfilling and safeguarding ADempiere’s worldwide community interests.
ADempiere Business Inc will operate a marketplace of services and products, provided by very experienced people and companies, including:
* Mail-in support
* Training and implementation service providers hub
* Off-the-shelf and custom made developments
* Global human attended support help desk (Follow the sun)
* Formalised corporate marketing materials for business partners
The Inc and the Bazaar will also provide access to extensive material on the product features, implementation methodologies, comparison with other solutions in the market and verifiable implementation case studies in the different geographies and industries.
ADempiere USA is only the first step towards fulfilling the meaning of a bazaar as a symbiotic union of both community and commerce. This is historical and unprecedented where ERP as Open Source steps into new ground explained Redhuan D. Oon (Red1), ADempiere project manager. ADempiere Business will offer insurance, and back-end support to implementors and business partners of ADempiere. We plan to have our in-mail support operative within this month, Redhuan added.
