Re: How and in what typical environments is Community Odoo begin used
We met in HK event long time back, not sure if you remember :)
To us, we are not opposing EE, we also try to propose it when possible. But so far, only small companies that can adapt to EE can use it. For big organizations, or more complicated requirements, it is required to use CE + OCA addons.
But beside that, it is just enjoyable to work with OCA people.
Would be nice if functional expert like yourself is around too!

Funny enough I had a discussion a few months back with an Odoo integrator working with Odoo enterprise only, and he was arguing this is where the revenue was (and did not understand why we would not become an Odoo partner).
At Le Filament we have the opposite approach, working exclusively with Open Source softwares, so only with Odoo Community version, and we still have decent revenue :)
Our strategy is somehow different though, since we are not selling Odoo software but rather an adapted solution for our customers (based on Odoo but most of our customers are not coming to us looking for Odoo).
We spend time at the beginning of projects involving all future users, to determine how they expect the tool that will accompany them to work, then we install Odoo and make the necessary integration / configuration / development to fit their needs.
So far we have installed Odoo Community for 30+ customers (from 2 to 200 users) and seldomly we have to send them to an Odoo Enterprise integrator (it happened though when they were already convinced that Odoo Enterprise was what they needed).
Regarding Accounting functionalities, most of our customers do not use it extensively in Odoo but work with an Accounting partner or internal service (with their own specialized accounting tool) which are fed with exports from Odoo journals (mainly Sales, Purchase, Expense and POS), so I could not answer whether full accounting can be properly done in Community version, although I do not see any show stoppers.

Hi Jonathan,> I must admit to feeling a bit guilty writing this as I once promised Maxime Chambreuil to approach Australian universities and Tech schools to get Odoo introduced as a learning tool for both the IT and Finance streams. I think it is a great idea and I have made a couple of attempts but time seemed to get the better of me - apologies Maxime, I will keep tryingJust jumping on this topic of introducing Odoo in universities, you might be interested to know there is an ongoing project named aroolla. It's a serious game, a simulation for students to grasp the ERP mechanics in Odoo. It's mainly developed by an University of applied sciences in Switzerland with help from my company.I don't know if the code is published yet but I do know it's on LGPL license.Here is a demo presentation with a simplified version of the game at Odoo XP 2019.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ObQoodmj8PcSadly the website https://aroolla.com/ is only in french for now (it seems to be in a WIP state). But the game is not as it is an Odoo with some modules to play the simulation and AFAIK the demo was played in english at the Odoo XP.I don't know much more, I can just tell I have tested it once by playing the game in a fast test session. And I already knew much about Odoo so I might be biased.To me this serious game was a really good experience and provided a way to dive into Odoo in a fast and ludic way.You might want to contact the UAS teacher or my colleagues at Camptocamp that will be able to give you much more information than me. https://aroolla.com/contact/Cheers,Le mar. 21 avr. 2020 à 23:32, Jonathan Wilson <jonathan.wilson@willdooit.com> a écrit :Hi AllI love watching all the email go back and forth in this forum and only pretend to know what you are all talking about but coming from a solid commercial programming background myself (no python :-) I understand in general terms but don't feel qualified to comment except maybe from a functional perspective at times.At WilldooIT we are fairly firmly placed in the Odoo enterprise world as the commercial reality is that is where the revenue is.

Re: How and in what typical environments is Community Odoo begin used
Hi KittiWe met in HK event long time back, not sure if you remember :)
Yes I remember :-)To us, we are not opposing EE, we also try to propose it when possible. But so far, only small companies that can adapt to EE can use it. For big organizations, or more complicated requirements, it is required to use CE + OCA addons.
Very interesting that you say EE is only for smaller companies? We find that the EE finance module is a must-have for most organisations unless we interface to XERO etc (small organisations). Some companies actually just feel "safer" going with EE because of the perceived Odoo corporate backing which is especially important when coming up against Netsuite, Navision, SAP B1 etc. CE finance additions are great but the EE versions are an easier sell (my experience anyway). Of course, mis_builder is always in my sales kitbag.For custom vertical work not requiring full accounting, I agree that CE is a great choice and we have used it for that purpose.But beside that, it is just enjoyable to work with OCA people.
Absolutely agree.Would be nice if functional expert like yourself is around too!
I'd love to contribute more but time gets the better of me generally - family, house-painting, lawns, oh and working also. (the community is so knowledgeable I fell slightly intimidated sort-of)Thank you for your comments.Kind regardsJonathan Wilson

Hi AllI love watching all the email go back and forth in this forum and only pretend to know what you are all talking about but coming from a solid commercial programming background myself (no python :-) I understand in general terms but don't feel qualified to comment except maybe from a functional perspective at times.At WilldooIT we are fairly firmly placed in the Odoo enterprise world as the commercial reality is that is where the revenue is. However, I do realise that the community version is very functional in its own right especially in the basic ERP functionalities and front-end capabilities. In this forum, I get the impression that there are some serious implementations of the Odoo community version and was wondering if you could give me some examples or typical use-cases? And if the lask of the enterprise accounting features is the main reason customers move to Odoo enterprise, and if the OCA financial reporting modules sufficient for larger companies.I must admit to feeling a bit guilty writing this as I once promised Maxime Chambreuil to approach Australian universities and Tech schools to get Odoo introduced as a learning tool for both the IT and Finance streams. I think it is a great idea and I have made a couple of attempts but time seemed to get the better of me - apologies Maxime, I will keep trying.Kind regardsJonathan Wilson

Funny enough I had a discussion a few months back with an Odoo integrator working with Odoo enterprise only, and he was arguing this is where the revenue was (and did not understand why we would not become an Odoo partner).
At Le Filament we have the opposite approach, working exclusively with Open Source softwares, so only with Odoo Community version, and we still have decent revenue :)
Our strategy is somehow different though, since we are not selling Odoo software but rather an adapted solution for our customers (based on Odoo but most of our customers are not coming to us looking for Odoo).
We spend time at the beginning of projects involving all future users, to determine how they expect the tool that will accompany them to work, then we install Odoo and make the necessary integration / configuration / development to fit their needs.
So far we have installed Odoo Community for 30+ customers (from 2 to 200 users) and seldomly we have to send them to an Odoo Enterprise integrator (it happened though when they were already convinced that Odoo Enterprise was what they needed).
Regarding Accounting functionalities, most of our customers do not use it extensively in Odoo but work with an Accounting partner or internal service (with their own specialized accounting tool) which are fed with exports from Odoo journals (mainly Sales, Purchase, Expense and POS), so I could not answer whether full accounting can be properly done in Community version, although I do not see any show stoppers.
Best Regards,

Rémi CAZENAVE
