Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can opentaps work with ether MySQL or PostgreSQL?
A: Yes. opentaps ERP + CRM is compatible with either MySQL or PostgreSQL. opentaps Analytics can also work with opentaps ERP data in either MySQL or PostgreSQL, but it uses a MySQL data warehouse.
Q: What is the difference between OFBiz and opentaps?
A: Early versions of opentaps were modules which ran on top of OFBiz. Recent versions of opentaps continue to incorporate the latest release version of OFBiz with all of its features. opentaps then enhances the basic OFBiz system with:
- additional features in core ERP and CRM areas, including customer service, CRM, order management, warehouse and management, purchasing, planning, and financials and budgeting.
- enhanced user interface
- additional open source projects, such as those listed above
- object oriented domain driven architecture
- automated testing and test driven development process
Q: What is the difference between JasperReports and Pentaho?
A: Pentaho and JasperReports are both open source business intelligence suites. In opentaps, we use Jasper reports primarily for reporting and Pentaho for data integration, such as extraction-transformation-load (ETL) into a data warehouse. opentaps allows you to design your Jasper reports with the iReport graphical report designer, load them into opentaps, and run the reports from opentaps. opentaps also supports the Pentaho Data Integration, also known as Kettle, and so you can use the Spoon Design tool to lay out your ETL graphically, save your transformations, and then have opentaps run them.
