Hello Christopher:
I'm wondering, since I've never had to use the OFBiz accounting features
to run a business, if you have analyzed the ROI on learning and
supporting another platform and software application such as OpenBravo
vs. dealing with the gaps in OFBiz accounting.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Ruth

I wonder what will be decided. I need to be able to import from
Quickbooks too, so importation is a feature I'm looking for too. Hm.
So many aspects to consider in such an enormous system. :P

The main problem I had with accounting is that for most of the
accounting features you had to use trunk, but trunk is unstable which
is a problem when you are trying to learning something new. There
was little documentation on the accounting component, and when
something doesn't work you don't know if you are doing something
wrong, if it's a bug, or if it's a feature.

I'm not an accountant at all, I did explore the features but it
looked pretty good. Which features seemed lacking to you most?

My experience:
Ecommerce tends to be the main strength and focus of ofbiz.
Ofbiz accounting is the most immature area. I gave up on ofbiz
accounting and am now looking at OpenBravo / Adempiere.
Ofbiz is a fantastic enterprise application development framework
if you want to create your own apps.
Ofbiz needs a lot of customization to fit to an individual
business. There is very little documentation on the business
processes within ofbiz so you will have to spend a lot of time
working things out or pay for help.

Actually, we're not sure how deep we want to use it, but we need
it for accounting, project management, and pretty much the whole
business flow (which is, if I'm not mistaken, precisely the point
of OFBiz).

Emforium(http://www.allinsoftware.com/), out of Waterloo Ontario is.
Good platform but it has a learning curve. A lot depends on how
you want to use it. Our usage of ofbiz is very broad and deep.
Not sure if you are thinking o using only ecommerce side of it or
more or less.

Subject: OFBiz in Canada?
Hello all!
Just wondering if some of the readers here were using OFBiz in
Canada,
or even better, in Quebec! My company is considering the use of
OFBiz,
and as such I'm in charge of researching on the matter. We would
like
to hear from your experience!
Thank you all. :)
