Customer Relationship Management (CRM) Consultants Dubai - CRM Software

The Apache Open For Business Project (Apache OFBiz) is an open source enterprise automation software project licensed under the Apache License Version 2.0. By open source enterprise automation we mean: Open Source ERP, Open Source CRM, Open Source E-Business / E-Commerce, Open Source SCM, Open Source MRP, Open Source CMMS/EAM, and so on.

H2O Transform implements the open source CRM of Apache OFBiz to suit your business needs and requirements.  H2O provide web development consultancy in CRM in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

Apache OFBiz is a foundation and starting point for enterprise solutions, be they for one organization or one million. OFBiz can be used OOTB (out of the box), but if you're looking for something that works really well for that there are many open source projects that do a great job there.

OFBiz is great for creating specialized applications for use OOTB by other organizations. OFBiz is also great for organizations that need more than what an OOTB application can offer in order to grow their operations, but find the deployment and maintenance costs of traditional enterprise systems that can handle such things to be unreasonable or unjustifiable.

Being open source under the Apache 2.0 license and driven by a community Apache OFBiz offers both flexibility by design and by access to code, and a solution where you're not alone but rather can work with many others to get things done.

Apache OFBiz offers a great deal of functionality, including: advanced e-commerce , catalog management , promotion & pricing management , order management (sales & purchase) , customer management (part of general party management) , warehouse management , fulfilment (auto stock moves, batched pick, pack & ship) , accounting (invoice, payment & billing accounts, fixed assets) , manufacturing management , general work effort management (events, tasks, projects, requests, etc) , content management (for product content, web sites, general content, blogging, forums, etc) , a maturing Point Of Sales (POS) module using XUI as rich client interface  and much more all in an open source package!

The tools and architecture of OFBiz make it easy to efficiently develop and maintain enterprise applications. This makes it possible for us as the creators and maintainers of the project to quickly release new functionality and maintain existing functionality without extensive effort. It also makes it easy to customize and extend existing functionality when you have a specific need.

The architecture alone makes it easier for you to customize the applications to your needs, but many of the best flexibility points in the system would be meaningless and even impossible if the system was not distributed as open source software. OFBiz is licensed under the Apache License Version 2.0 which grants you the right to customize, extend, modify, repackage, resell, and many other potential uses of the system.

No restrictions are placed on these activities because they feel that they are necessary for effective use of this type of software. Unlike other open source licenses, such as the GPL, your changes do not have to be released as open source. There are obvious benefits to contributing certain improvements, fixes and additions back to the core project, but some changes will involve proprietary or confidential information that must not be released to the public. For this reason OFBiz uses the Apache License Version 2.0 which does not require this. For more information on open source licenses see the Open Source Initiative (OSI) web site at www.opensource.org.

This product suits a large number of customers but does require significant engineering skills and development skills for customisation.  Using H2O consulting would define if this product is right for your business.
