Its fascinating to read about an open source initiative in the ERP realm when there exist guerrillas like ORACLE and SAP.
If there are three trends that are characterizing the change in IT, for me those would be – Mobility, Open Source and SaaS.
Tecnicia and later openBravo ventures into 2 of the three (open source and SaaS) and then is looking at multi national expansion and play.
Business wise the strategy would be to capture the wide open SME segment and not to go head to head with the biggies at the large MNC market.
Also service is the right business play in this space since the software is open source.
Interesting to see if they can survive the pressure from two ends – biggies from the upper end and then smaller niche players from the bottom end.
