Background



The ERP5 project started in 2002 when Coramy, an apparel industry leader in Europe, decided to migrate its in-house ERP solution to a new open source model. The choice of open source for Coramy ERP was a strategic move to reduce software maintenance costs and to allow Coramy to retain complete control over its custom developments, something that would have been impossible with standard proprietary ERP solutions.
Nexedi was created as an independent company in charge of developing, implementing, and disseminating the ERP5 technology. Nexedi was given a budget of 80,000 EUR to develop a generic ERP framework published under GPL license and customize it for Coramy's specific needs.
