Successful Research Programmes

ERP5 research and development is conducted by a consortium of companies and
universities lead by Nexedi SA. Some companies or academic institutions are
already involved in the ERP5 project for many years and have for example
developped and contributed important components such as "ERP5 eGov". Other
companies (ex. from Plone community) are involved in key components such as the
NEO cloud computing database which can support high volumes and high
availability.

Successful Consulting Partnership Programme

Companies wishing to start quickly providing consulting services based on ERP5,
without getting involved in R&D of ERP5 core, are encouraged, as a first step,
to become TioLive partner.  TioLive is a SaaS version of ERP5 which provides
the same freedom and flexibility as the traditional open source ERP5
implementation, yet with a much faster learning curve and simple implementation
processes. It takes only 2 days of training to become a TioLive consulting
partner and only one week to learn how to develop with ERP5 using TioLive. 

After successfully learning ERP5 configuration process with TioLive, partner
companies are free either to provide ERP5 in SaaS mode or in local installation
mode, thanks to the power of TIO Libre.

TioLive partners may at any time contribue to ERP5 or join ERP5 R&D programmes.
