Teams

Introduction

As to help developers and contributors to take the right decision when improving OpenERP, we set up experts teams for different management domains. Only people that have a strong experience in OpenERP and the related domain can apply as an expert. We have teams of accountants, manufacturing experts, technical experts, services management experts, ...

Developers can contact our experts mailing list when they need feedback on particular features to be developed. Please contact our experts only for new developments related questions. They don’t provide help on current features of OpenERP. Most of our experts have very high positions in the company they work for, so they don’t have time to spent providing help or support.
