Originally from Belgium, Odoo is an ERP platform providing a business application suite. Since its inception in 2005, Odoo (https://www.odoo.com/) has become a valid option for the 12 million users (free and paid) seeking to integrate various business operations, from sales and CRM to inventory management and accounting. In addition to the open-source version, the company now offers a hosted version of its platform.
To support the adoption and implementation of its platform, Odoo has developed a partner program. This program includes a diverse range of systems integrators (SIs) and service partners who assist clients in implementing and optimizing Odoo's applications. Below is an Odoo services partner ecosystem analysis.
