ADempiere or ADempiere ERP is a free open-source enterprise resource planning (ERP) application.

Product history

ADempiere began as Compiere, another open-source ERP solution. However, a disagreement 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.[2] This disagreement ultimately led to the creation of ADempiere as a fork of Compiere.[3] The ADempiere project was officially started at SourceForge on September 9, 2006.[4]

On June 24, 2010, project admin Redhuan "red1" D. Oon stepped down from his role with the project.[5] Despite this, the ADempiere project was listed a few days later as one of the top two most active projects on SourceForge.[6]
