Here's one up for the open source business guys.
Compiere has managed to get their hands on US$6 million funding from New Enterprise Associates (NEA) to enhance its software and its moving its offices to the Bay Area of California.
Currently employing fewer than 10 people, Compiere looks to hire more staff and move from Portland, Oregon, to California's Bay Area, Janke said. The main reason for the move is to have access to a larger pool of skilled ERP developers, he added.
The great thing is that Compiere's software runs on Linux, Windows, Macintosh and Unix and supports Oracle's database. It may also add support for the open source Apache Derby database in July.
