Lessons from Accelerate applied to Openbravo ERP implementation and SaaS hosting.
ERP systems are often associated with complex customization, slow releases, and operational risk. Inspired by the research presented in Accelerate: The Science of Lean Software and DevOps by Nicole Forsgren, Jez Humble, and Gene Kim, this series explores how DevOps principles can improve the way ERP systems are delivered and operated. The focus is on applying these ideas to the implementation and SaaS hosting of Openbravo ERP.
About this series
The goal of this series is to translate DevOps concepts into the context of ERP systems. While the research in Accelerate: The Science of Lean Software and DevOps focuses on modern software organizations, many ERP implementations still rely on slow release cycles and manual deployment processes. In the following articles, we explore how these principles can be adapted to improve the delivery, reliability, and scalability of Openbravo ERP when operated as a cloud-based service.
