I'm going to try to simplify this a bit because it would require a lot of explaining, but basically size of customers and size of customer base.

I don't see a single customer here that is either a Fortune 500 or close to being that size: http://v6.openerp.com/products/new-references

PS - A note to the guys from OpenERP if they are reading. I would recommend doing something SAP does really well - touting it's customers success very publicly. It will massively raise your profile. Example: http://www.saphana.com/community/customer-stories

Note - I hope people understand I'm not criticizing them for their success, but rather for their statement that they are directly competing with SAP. They may be gaining market share in SME, but until you are doing this: http://www.workday.com/company/news/press_archive/kimberly_c... you are not really competing with SAP's bread and butter. And again, congrats to your success. I would be as chuffed as the author is here.



Danone is a Fortune 500 company.
