Apache Open For Business (OFBiz) is a community-driven open source project. For many, OFBiz is also the best e-commerce and enterprise resource planning (ERP) software available.

Below you will find the top ten reasons reasons OFBiz is the best choice for your e-commerce or ERP solution:

  1. No Licensing Fees: OFBiz is free and open source.
  2. Credibility: OFBiz users can rely on the organizational, legal, and financial stability that comes with OFBiz being a top-level project at the Apache Software Foundation (ASF).
  3. Collaboration: OFBiz is licensed under the Apache 2.0 open source license, which is both open and business-friendly, facilitating community-driven, meritocratic collaboration while allowing for proprietary derivative applications.
  4. Flexiblity: Because you will have complete access to source code, you will eliminate “proprietary system” limitations. The entire open source community benefits from making OFBiz as clear, flexible, and reusable as possible.
  5. Lower Cost: OFBiz can help you achieve a system that is as good or better than those available from major proprietary ERP vendors at a significantly lower total project cost. With OFBiz, you can budget for custom features and added value rather than license and maintenance fees.
  6. Scalablity: Based on the Java platform, OFBiz has the capacity to scale dramatically as needed.
  7. Third Party Friendly: Enjoy freedom from indefinite vendor lock; with OFBiz, you can fully leverage internal resources and/or any of the dozens of organizations offering quality OFBiz implementation and support services.
  8. Frequent Updates: Benefit from the active and ongoing contributions of the world-wide OFBiz community.
  9. Feature Rich: Leverage standards-based tools and components that are attractive to your technology staff, yet already integrated into a common framework.
  10. Expert Leadership and Support: HotWax Media provides system design, project planning and management, along with robust technical muscle to deliver the implementation and support necessary for your business.
