Openbravo ERP empowers organizations across industries to improve business performance through increased productivity and business agility.  Openbravo is especially suited to organizations with up to $500M in annual revenues as well as divisions of larger organizations.  These “Small to Medium Enterprises” (SMEs) have ERP requirements similar to the largest Fortune 100 companies, but not the massive budgets or endless patience required to implement Oracle, SAP or other proprietary ERP solutions.

The CIO quote below puts this in context and is way too common in the industry:

"Our company has recently upgraded our ERP system. We spent ~$1M, took over 12 months to implement, are spending $90k+/yr for support/upgrades, and it still doesn’t do what we want. We are a simple manufacturing plant with multiple warehouses (some produce, some ship). This is the second time we've gone through the upgrade cycle with this particular product. Every 3-5 years we have to start all over it seems. Our CEO has asked that we look for an ERP product that can be customized to meet OUR needs. Can you help us?" -  CIO

Openbravo Services from TDS

Below are some of the services that TDS that provides for application deployments built on Openbravo (please mouse over for details):

Assessments and Planning When assessing business applications, TDS starts by reviewing your current systems, processes and goals. We probe into areas that are working well, while searching for low hanging fruit for process improvement. During the assessment and planning phase, TDS will define the general approach, timeline and pricing to complete an enterprise application deployment to suit your business and technical requirements. [a href="consulting-services.php"]Learn More...[/a]		Install / Configure / Customize Installation, configuration and customization steps are typical in the TDS deployment of enterprise applications. This may begin with an environment assessment to ensure that the IT infrastructure is suitable. TDS will also discuss the full deployment process to make sure we are in alignment. Then we install and configure the application based on your requirements. TDS implementation consultants will provide basic customization of screens and workflows, and will collaborate with you and our development team to define new customizations and deep systems integrations where appropriate. [a href="deployment-services.php"]Learn More...[/a]		Applications Support TDS offers a range of onsite and remote services to facilitate the adoption, tuning and ongoing operations of the enterprise applications in your environment. This could include outsourced services to install updates, configure new features, user training and system reconfigurations to stay in synch with your business growth and maturation of business processes. [a href="openbravo-operational-services.php"]Learn More...[/a]
Business Process Consulting When companies embark on new systems and processes, we often find existing processes that are not well documented with heavy reliance on "tribal knowledge" or are being performed in a particular manner due to limitations of older systems. For these situations, TDS offers optional business process consulting services that can be used to redefine processes, which can include documentation and training services. In other cases, our clients prefer to take the lead on business process definition, documentation and training internally and leverage TDS for core implementation and backup support services. [a href="consulting-services.php"]Learn More...[/a]		Readiness / Go-Live As your go-live date approaches, there are several optional services from TDS that can help ensure a smooth transition. From custom data migration services, to functional training, to formal user verification process, we will work with your team to ensure you are prepared to go live. We can work with your IT team or augment them through-out the process. [a href="deployment-services.php"]Learn More...[/a]		Infrastructure Support A solid application environment requires careful attention to the underlying IT infrastructure. From cloud to conventional data center solutions, we can provide assessment and operational support to assure your IT environment is working smoothly. This can include one-time services like cost-to-compute analysis, PCI compliance remediation, vulnerability scans and hosting decisions. TDS also provides ongoing services like 24/7 environment monitoring / call center support, system updates (OS, server, applications), network engineering services, backup management to full data center operations for some of our larger clients.
