WebERP

js guy — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 16:24:10 +0000

To produce a solid application it is necessary to build upon solid foundations. webERP is developed using the PHP (PHP Hypertext Pre-Processor) web development language. Again PHP is an open-source development environment and the rigour applied to its development and review of its code is the reason why it has become one of the most popular? and respected web-development platforms. Performance of well written PHP applications in a web-environment are arguably without peer. webERP is no exception. webERP scripts are developed with consistency and simplicity in mind so that the PHP scripts that make up webERP are readable with only a basic knowledge of PHP scripting and the webERP structure. Every opportunity is taken to remove abstraction from the code to make the logic as clear as possible to the reader of the code. Simple code makes for reliable code. It also makes for easily modifiable code should another function be required.

They used emerging Internet technologies while doing their work, and subsequently introduced a new approach for Web applications. Their concept was realized in a new company called Tecnicia (today known as Openbravo), which was founded in August 2001 by Serrano, Ciordia, and Aguinaga. The product was a new framework for the ERP world called Openbrave ERP. In 2005, two management consultants, Manel Sarasa and Josep Mitjá, were asked by a venture capital company to evaluate Tecnicia and prepare a business plan for its evolution.
