'''Compiere''' or '''Compiere ERP''' is an open-source enterprise resource planning (ERP) application. Developer Consona Corporation focuses primarily on its commercial offerings, though it still offers a community edition. All community versions up to 3.3 can be found on the SourceForge site<ref name="CompSFFiles" />, while the latest community version 3.5 requires giving demographic information to acquire it directly from Consona's website.<ref name="Comp35DLoad">{{cite web |url=http://www.compiere.com/products/download/index.php |title=Free ERP Download: Compiere Community Edition |publisher=Consona Corporation |accessdate=14 December 2012}}</ref>

==Product history==

Compiere was originally authored by Jorg Janke and Kathy Pink in 1999<ref name="CompLinMag04">{{cite web |url=http://www.linux-mag.com/id/1578/ |title=Compiere |author=Streicher, Martin |publisher=Linux Magazine |date=15 February 2004 |accessdate=14 December 2012}}</ref><ref name="CompHist">{{cite web |url=http://www.compiere.com/company/history.php |title=Compiere History |publisher=Consona Corporation |accessdate=14 December 2012}}</ref> The duo chose the open-source model for Compiere because, they claimed, it allows "people [to] do the presales themselves" without "sales pressure or misleading presentations."<ref name="CompLinMag04" /> On June 9, 2001, a SourceForge project was started for the software<ref name="CompSF">{{cite web |url=http://sourceforge.net/projects/compiere/ |title=Compiere ERP + CRM Business Solution |publisher=SourceForge |accessdate=14 December 2012}}</ref>, and the first non-beta release arrived as version 2.4.2 on March 5 of the following year.<ref name="CompSFFiles" />

As Compiere's popularity grew, so did the activity surrounding it. The Compiere SourcForge project was recognized as one of the top 10 most active projects in February 2004 and was awarded Project of the Month status.<ref name="CompSFPoM">{{cite web |url=http://sourceforge.net/potm/potm-2004-02.php |title=Project of the Month, February 2004 - Compiere |publisher=SourceForge |date=February 2004 |accessdate=14 December 2012}}</ref> By 2006, the company looked into raising venture capital to further support the project as a growing and sustainable commercial endeavor, gaining $6 million of it from New Enterprise Associates.<ref name="CompPR1">{{Cite web |url=http://www.compiere.com/news-events/press-releases/2006/06-20.php |title=Compiere Inc. Raises $6M in Venture Funding and Relocates Headquarters to Silicon Valley |publisher=Consona Corporation |date=20 June 2006 |accessdate=14 December 2012}}</ref> However, a disagreement late in the year arose between Compiere's developer community and its corporate sponsor concerning the greater emphasis on the open source nature of the project rather than the community nature of the project.<ref name="ITVIDYA">{{cite web |url=http://www.itvidya.com/from_compiere_to_adempiere |title=From Compiere to ADempiere! |author=Acharya, Rajesh H |publisher=ITVIDYA |date=15 December 2006 |archiveurl=http://web.archive.org/web/20070102210214/http://www.itvidya.com/from_compiere_to_adempiere |archivedate=02 January 2007 |accessdate=12 December 2012}}</ref> This disagreement ultimately led to the creation of a fork of Compiere called [[ADempiere]].<ref name="CompADempFork">{{cite web |url=http://red1.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=931&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 |title=Debate - Has Compiere Become Closed? Do We Fork? How? |author=Oon, Redhuan D. |publisher=red1.org |date=01 September 2006 |accessdate=12 December 2012}}</ref>

Despite the fork the project carried on in 2007, hiring new executives, revamping engineering and support processes, and expanding its sales and service channels.<ref name="CompPR2">{{cite web |url=http://www.compiere.com/news-events/press-releases/2007/03-13.php |title=Compiere Appoints Don Klaiss President and CEO |publisher=Consona Corporation |date=13 March 2007 |accessdate=14 December 2012}}</ref> In the autumn of 2009 the Compiere product line expanded to include Professional, Enterprise, and Cloud editions while the company continued to maintain the open source foundation as Community Edition.<ref name="CompPR3">{{cite web |url=http://www.compiere.com/news-events/press-releases/2009/10-07.php |title=Compiere Releases Enterprise Edition Featuring Enhanced Scalability, Data Analysis and Integration |publisher=Consona Corporation |date=07 October 2009 |accessdate=14 December 2012}}</ref>

On June 16, 2010, Consona Corporation acquired Compiere, Inc., though terms of the deal were not disclosed.<ref name="CompLeMonde">{{cite web |url=http://www.lemondeinformatique.fr/actualites/lire-consona-rachete-l-editeur-de-l-erp-compiere-30940.html |title=Consona rachète l'éditeur de l'ERP Compiere |author=Gros, Maryse |publisher=LeMondeInformatique.fr |date=17 June 2010 |accessdate=14 December 2012}}</ref><ref name="ConsonaPR1">{{cite web |url=http://www.consona.com/news/compiere-acquisition |title=Consona Corporation Acquires Open-Source and Cloud ERP Software Provider Compiere Inc |publisher=Consona Corporation |date=16 June 2010 |accessdate=14 December 2012}}</ref>
