India Makes Openbravo`s Shortlist of Breakthrough Markets

Openbravo launches the Hello India! campaign in response to increasing demand
for its solutions in the country
BARCELONA, Spain--(Business Wire)--
Openbravo, the leading developer of web-based open source Enterprise Resource
Planning (ERP) and Point of Sale (POS) solutions for businesses, announces the
launch of Hello India!, a campaign accommodating the growing appeal for open
source software in the country. It will include various initiatives, beginning
with the 360º Business Tour, followed by Openbravo Training courses among
others.

India has been on Openbravo`s radar since the company`s inception. The country
has become a solid breeding ground for innovation in the information technology
sector, and has developed a keen interest in Openbravo solutions, thanks to
community dissemination. That is why India is a logical stepping stone for
Openbravo`s next stage of growth and will play host to many upcoming Openbravo
initiatives.

To kick-off the Hello India! campaign, Openbravo will be visiting Kolkata,
Hyderabad, Gurgaon, Chennai and Mumbai in August as part of its 360º Business
Tour, which aims to recruit many new business partners. The free event targets
System Integrators, ISVs and VARs with knowledge of the mid-market ERP sector.
During the tour`s morning sessions, attendees will discover the growing
opportunity existing in the open source landscape, especially with regards to
implementing Openbravo`s professional products.

Later in the summer, live Training courseswill take place. Through the Basic
Functional Training and Basic Development Training courses, partners will
receive the foundation required to get started working around Openbravo. More
initiatives are planned later in the year to emphasize Openbravo`s strategic
positioning in the Indian market.

Cees Poortman, VP of Global Commercial Operations, said "Openbravo has been
gaining traction in India for some time now, which has escalated to a point
where we need to recruit new partners to satisfy the demand for our solutions.
Any serious service company in the space should understand the benefits of
partnering with the company behind the most successful open source ERP,
especially in a booming market for such solutions. The 360º Business Tour is an
opportunity for any company looking to either start, expand or enhance an open
source business practice to realize the potential in working around Openbravo."

Places are limited, so those interested in attending the 360º Business Tour
