Compiere PROFESSIONAL EDITION DATASHEET

A Consona ERP Solution

Compiere® Professional Edition

Compiere Professional, a Consona ERP solution, is a modern, highly
adaptable, enterprise-class business solution – that can be deployed on­premise or on the Cloud – for a fraction of the cost of traditional ERP systems.
Improve agility and dramatically lower cost of ownership with Compiere.

HIGHLY ADAPTABLE, ENTERPRISE –
CLASS APPLICATIONS…

Compiere delivers a broad and rich set
of integrated business functionality on
a global-ready platform. Manage any
number of organizations, warehouses,
languages, currencies, and accounting
rules. The scalable and adaptable
Compiere platform handles high volumes
and business complexity required by
demanding businesses of all sizes.

Compiere’s revolutionary design enables
applications to be easily customized
and extended without programming –
a first in the ERP industry. Applications
are defined as objects in an Active Data
Dictionary rather than programmed as

3GL code. Your IT staff will easily

embrace the techniques required to
extend Compiere.

Importantly, Compiere’s innovative design
reduces the cost and effort associated
with upgrading business applications.

Compiere can automatically deploy the

latest Compiere improvements while
preserving all your business-specific
extensions.

BUILT ON A MODERN, OPEN
SOURCE PLATFORM

Compiere offers a highly interactive,

web-based user experience while
providing secure access from any
web browser. Integration with other
applications is easy using Compiere’s
service oriented architecture (SOA) and
web services. Leveraging open source
technology helps reduce IT infrastructure
costs. And, access to application source
code reduces vendor dependence and
project risk.

ON-PREMISE OR ON THE CLOUD

Compiere gives you the choice to deploy
your applications in your own data center
or on the Amazon Cloud. Amazon’s Elastic
Compute Cloud provides a professionally
managed computing infrastructure over
the internet that is private, secure and
scalable on demand.

…AT A FRACTION OF THE COST

Compiere disrupts the traditional cost
structure of acquiring, deploying, and
maintaining ERP systems. Compiere
is available without up-front license
fees, and can dramatically lower annual
operating costs – saving up to 80% in
total cost of ownership. You gain cost
savings and flexibility – without vendor
lock-in.

With Compiere, you are in control but not
alone. Your customized solution is backed
by Consona and the Compiere Partner
Network who offer a range of services to
ensure your success.
