Recent buzz about Compiere from Spring '08 Training

Compiere Spring ’08 Intensive Training just ended a few days ago. The attendees were a diverse mix of both Compiere users and Partners and represented countries from all corners of the globe. Here’s what some of the recent attendees had to say about Compiere:

“I am impressed by the depth of Compiere…it is very impressive” – Compiere user

“Compiere is now a contender in our market for SAP and NetSuite…one of our recent new customers chose Compiere over NetSuite and are happy with their choice” – Compiere Partner

“I see no show-stoppers with Compiere…it is malleable and easy to customize for our needs. We love the freedom from vendor lock-in” – Compiere user

“I was pleasantly surprised to see how easy it is to add a vendor; it is so difficult with SAP. And the Web UI is much easier to use for newbies” – Compiere Partner

Thanks to the attendees for their questions, excitement and encouragement. We are also very excited about Compiere and look forward to more feedback from the Compiere Community. It is this kind of feedback and excitement that motivates us to provide an even better product and services.
