Language: English

A set of compelling reasons to employ the 100% open source software ERPNext over pricey, cumbersome and intransparent commercial alternatives including experiences from the trenches.


This talk summarizes Seibert Media's journey of evaluating and implementing ERPNext as their central ERP software. It highlights reasons that led to start with the open source software and presented evidence that the company found during their journey of implementation that support or weaken the decision.

My name is Martin Seibert. I am passionate about ERPNext as a user and try to help the open source community to grow the project. I have been working on and in //SEIBERT/MEDIA for our customers and employees since I was 17. I founded the company in 1996 and it now employs about 180 people in Wiesbaden (Germany) and USA. In 2018 we made about 30M US$ in revenues and have been profitable as a company for many years. We offer agile software development and are one of the five biggest Atlassian partners worldwide.

It took me many years to understand that only teams can be successful. But that was years ago. Now, I want everyone to understand and spread the word that teams are the things that rock. Be it in your own company or when looking at //SEIBERT/MEDIA, it's always teams that "rock'n'roll" with software.
