Just want to say a friendly "hello" - great to see Odoo team here!

Thank you for your interest!

You may want to share the following docs as a good starter:

That's spot-on.

We have a proposal review meeting with an Australian insurance company scheduled for this Thursday.

We meet a lot of companies who are not happy with software solutions which are hard to modify.

It's not even about the cost, but about the limitations and poor development velocity.

These companies strive to build something innovative, they just find these closed platforms really cumbersome and slow to deliver.

When you start investing millions of dollars into a bespoke solution you really want to truly own it at some point. And this is impossible with closed and proprietary application platforms.

Thank you for such an overwhelming reception, we truly appreciate your comments and been sharing your feedback back and forth on our Slack channels today.

If you have a strong enterprise use case, I would be super happy to schedule a quick Openkoda demo for you, including all the bells and whistles. Just share a short description and ping me at: mglomba@openkoda.com

We are still actively watching this thread and will try to address as many questions as possible.

The good news here is that they are many businesses out of there which a) need an enterprise solution (data protection, dedicated cloud, multi-tenancy), b) have complex data processing patterns (think: underwriting a property policy with cyclone/flood coverage), and c) don't have an unlimited budget.

I would leave corporations to work with corporations if they are really happy working together, but the world is much greater than that (them!).

Honestly, I don't think there are many (revenue speaking) Billy Bob's shops using Salesforce to track their cupcake orders out there.

Point taken.

That's a great question and we have great answers from actual clients - the repeating pattern goes as follows:

"We invested three years building this app, it's a booming success, but their user-based pricing is killing us"

"We can't run complex queries"

"It's too slow"

"We feel our data is stuck there"

"I want to own my code and my application"

"Why do I need to use APEX where we use Java and JS everywhere else in the company"

Yes, I think you could compare Openkoda with Odoo, but well... we are nowhere near being billionaires ;)

Salesforce is a generic application platform today, and this is how see it. Openkoda is not a drop-in replacement for Salesforce CRM, it is a useful replacement when you want to build your core business application a) retaining full source code ownership and ability to get any Java/JS team to work on it and run anywhere you want, b) without becoming dependent on technology and commercial limitations of working with big S.

Exactly this.

We find modern Java to be ubiquitous, fast, and (still) super popular in enterprise environments.

We actively look for service/technology partners, so if you want to build an application or extension on top of Openkoda for you or your clients we would be more than happy.

Openkoda Core is released under MIT license, so we have no means to stop you!

Salesforce nowadays is more a universal, business application platform. Closed, proprietary, with user-based pricing model.

Yes, that's a good point - actually we were discussing this option (again!) just last week as we are cautious of not-that-frequent public releases.

These are mainly either integration tests with hard-to-automate third-party platforms and tests in more complex multi-tenant deployment scenarios.

There is also the Enterprise version which is developed in parallel with the open-source Core edition. Being a small team we just found it was easier to phase the release schedule.

Thanks, I really appreciate your words!

When talking to our users (and clients - as we customize Openkoda for enterprise companies building their bespoke applications as well) so many of them are tired of Salesforce being: a) slow, b) limited, c) expensive (probably in this order).

Yes, absolutely - the next release is scheduled for June, our current development cycle (which may not be ideal) is based on internal builds and testing before public release. The main reason is that there are e.g. insurance companies out there and whilst well, it's still open-source, we would not like to break anything for them.

Thanks for this question. I understand that goHighLevel is a closed marketing application platform, whilst Openkoda is an open-source enterprise application platform with pre-built application templates for a quick start in specific industries (now: insurance and realestate, more to come).

Thanks Roman, that's a great observation.

Whilst we do not want to directly replace Salesforce we see lots of companies comparing Openkoda directly with Salesforce, mainly due to the ability to build dynamic data models, modify business logic in runtime and apply pre-built application templates.

Openkoda does not have some of the Salesforce's clear limitations: it's open-source, fully extensible with Java and Javascript (no need to learn APEX or redo you certifications every year), can be run on-premise, it has no limits on data quering and it's just faster.

Mono-repos forever and always, lessons learned in the last 20 years ;)

Currently running this in a single repo: https://github.com/openkoda/openkoda

Market demand:

- high-performance, low-latency data processing skills

- out of the box thinking and "I can do it" attitude

Charm:

- Java lives its second life now with JVM, OpenJDK and GraalVM.

Shameless plug - just released a Java platform for building enterprise apps as an opensource project: https://github.com/openkoda/openkoda

Absolutely yes - long story short: We have developed an open-source platform specifically tailored to finance/enterprise software needs, based on our 20 years of experience in building enterprise applications for the largest financial and insurance institutions.

Openkoda as an application platform will give you a number of features out of the box (with no development required) like multi-org setup, role-based security, user management, multi-tenancy, custom dashboards, data exports, enterprise scalability and security, multi-lang support or responsive design. All based on open source, with full source code ownership, and with no practical dependency on third-party vendors.

I use a similar mix but with runanalyze.com

Not particularly connected but for anyone interested in analyzing their DNA:

You may get your somehow accurate (not: medical grade accurate) raw DNA sequence from Ancestry DNA kit. Why from Ancestry and not other similar services like 23andme? Because they probably have the best accuracy for the money.

You may then submit your DNA code to https://promethease.com/ that builds a personal DNA report based on connecting a file of DNA genotypes to the scientific findings cited in SNPedia.

You may learn a few things about yourself and your kids, which may also include severe conditions which could unfold in the future.

Sample report:

https://files.snpedia.com/reports/promethease_data/promethea...

Disclaimer: sharing your DNA is always risky

We started https://scanrepeat.com to enable companies of any size to introduce continuous security scanning of their web apps with direct reporting to Slack, Trello, Teams, etc.

We also cover a few more misc cases like detection of potential GDPR/CCPA personal data leaks.

Do you think this could implemented as a workflow in Jira?
