“From our experience,” noted Anil Patel, HotWax Systems COO and Apache Software Foundation Member, “clients who have opted for unified solutions, have witnessed sales growth of up to 400%, not to mention an increase in process efficiency, and a reduction of operational errors. There is no doubt in our mind that digital commerce will only evolve to better serve businesses and their customers, and that the fastest, most accurate enterprise products will most likely be the results of open-source collaboration.

Over the last decade, we have contributed over 15.000 man hours to the Apache OFBiz project, and have grown our team to include 10 OFBiz committers, and about a hundred trained OFBiz Developers. For us, Apache OFBiz is not just an open-source enterprise resource planning (ERP) framework, it is an integral part of our core product, and of our company at large.”
