[Erp5-users] Whats the status of ERP5 and Z3ERP

[Sebastian Ware]

I agree with you on that. "Working" in this case refered to running.

ERP5 is complex and poorly documented. Whereas it might be very easy  
to use once you get the hang of it, the learning curve is steep. I  
had some contact with Nexedi last winter and they were happy to show  
how it works for whomever comes to their office. This was  
unfortunately not possible for us at the time.

However, there are "business templates" that should be working  
examples of different modules of an ERP-implementation.

We have not explored them.
