According to the "Odoo Ecological Application Report" released by the Open Source Intelligence Odoo Research Institute in 2022, Odoo has been used in many large-scale enterprise applications, and when these large-scale enterprises use Odoo, they often position Odoo as the digital or The middle-end application role of informatization. Why is there such a high degree of uniformity? We obtained the following consensus information through the views of CIOs of several large Fortune 500 groups:
- With the downturn in the global business market economy in recent years, large-scale ERP such as SAP and Oracle have been used as a whole to deal with more upstream and downstream collaboration methods. Not only is it difficult for partners to integrate, but it also requires a lot of training and implementation to effectively promote. The cost of licensing fees has also become an unnecessary cost expense. Enterprises have begun to build their own front-end applications to connect suppliers and channels. However, the islanding of front-end applications and the connection with the old ERP back-end have become a serious burden on the IT department.
- Replacing the old ERP background is also very cumbersome and extremely risky and challenging. It is difficult for the IT department and the business department to make up their minds to reconstruct their long-standing data. The idea is to perfect the background blank business or new business model in the mid-stage application.
- The Odoo middle platform is more stable than the self-built front desk, and more agile than the old backend. The Odoo middle platform can continuously connect enterprise capabilities with customer needs. The new technologies such as containers, middleware, and microservices in the Odoo middle platform can quickly and stably integrate Changes in the foreground are transmitted to the old background system, and the old background resources and capabilities flow smoothly to the foreground system, thereby speeding up demand response, improving operational efficiency, reducing resource and development costs, and achieving flexibility and stability.
- When a large enterprise cannot quickly respond to market changes, it needs to use the Odoo middle platform to open up the front-end and back-end system architectures.
Because of its free and open source, Odoo helps large enterprises realize low-cost mid-stage application construction. In recent years, large enterprises such as Merck Bio, BlueFocus, Lakala, Lenovo, ZTE, Ali, Digital China, and Paris Spring have turned to Odoo for help. The Asia-Pacific Gold Medal Service Organization Open Source Intelligent Manufacturing has helped complete the business expansion of the middle office, making Odoo a hot topic in the CIO circle of large enterprises in recent years. In addition to large-scale enterprises choosing Odoo as a middle-end application, for example, growing enterprises do not have heavy historical burdens, so they directly apply Odoo in front-end, middle-end, and back-end full-stack applications, and go right to their own informatization and digitalization at the initial stage The selection road!
