Thus, we upgrade our enterprise version every year. Upgrade covers: ● Odoo Standard ● Studio customization ● Custom code developed by Odoo IF maintenance is included in subscription
- 11. 3. Lower risk - By choosing Odoo Enterprise the risks of the implementation are dramatically reduced. That’s because it will likely require less customization and less changes on the code, avoiding problems in the future and making the bug fixing task much easier (avoid technical debt!). - Going with Odoo Enterprise will reduce the chance of failure in implementation. Odoo can mediate or intervene if necessary or asked by the client.
- 12. 4. Higher return on investment (ROI) - While Odoo community has no license fee, the client has to check the total cost/time of a project. - Implementation of Odoo Community, a lot of times, ended up to be more costly to the final customer since the implementation task is much harder and the issues or bugs that can come across will not be easily identified as it would be on the enterprise version. - Migrating from Community to Enterprise at a later stage is costly, complex and time consuming
