The 2004 Open For Business Users Conference was held in Minneapolis, MN, USA on the 27th and 28th of May, 2004. It was hosted by Integral Business Solutions and held in a contributed room on the new Best Buy campus. Just like the 2003 conference hosted by Automation Groups this conference turned out great, and was well attended. We did a recording of the conference again this year, but this time it is DVD quality, and requires 2 DVDs even though it is compressed with DivX. Includes about 14 hours of high quality discussion and presentation of new and stable features in OFBiz. For more information, see the Services page.

What people have to say about OFBiz... [more]

I am amazed at what OFBiz can do now and what its promise for the future is.

We use OFBiz to tie our projects together with sophisticated task management designed for the amateur homebuilder (built on the WorkEffort module). In fact, our entire organization, from top to bottom, is run on OFBiz.

I wouldn't have it any other way.

Stephen Loosli, President, Partner Homes
