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]

In July 2010 the ADempiere project was listed as one of the top two most active projects on SourceForge.^[5]
