OPENERP GETS $10M; BECOMES ODOO Featured

OpenERP has raised $10Fabien Pinckaers, Odoo million in a new round of venture capital funding. And the Belgium-based company, which says the money will support R&D efforts and growth, changed its name to Odoo to "to better reflect its expanded areas of focus in CMS & Ecommerce and POS applications beyond the core ERP function." And I'm sure that's exactly what the name Odoo conveys to all of us. Odoo's American office, by the way, is in San Francisco. 

The company's website clams it has more than 3,000 applications in all areas of running a business, including financial software, HR, CRM, marketing, ecommerce and website builders. Odoo also says it "improved its pricing" by including a free version of up to two users for very small businesses. The financing came from offshore: XAnge (France), SRIW (Belgium), Sofinnova Partners (France), and the management team. Odoo says its sales doubled from 2011 through 2013 and grew R&D staff to more than 100 employees. The company was founded by Fabien Pinckaers, who said Odoo will strengthen operations in the United States and EMEA over the next 18 months. I foresee competitors making all sorts of rhymes that Odoo will regret.
