OpenERP 6, Business Application Suite
OpenERP 6.0 is becoming a true suite of Business Applications,
not a classical ERP anymore.
By reducing the dependencies between standard modules,
OpenERP 6 will make it easier to install specific Business
Applications only. For example: installing Sales without
pulling Manufacturing.
By organizing the menu and interfaces in an
application-centric way, OpenERP will behave like your
typical dedicated software, for each context.
