Open source ERP provider xTuple yesterday announced general availability and pricing for its cloud-based offerings and released an upgrade of its core ERP suite.
xTuple announced cloud pricing for new customers and customers wishing to transfer existing deployments covered under perpetual or subscription licenses to the cloud.
In March, as part of the 3.5 release rollout of its ERP suite, xTuple announced availability of a beta test release version of its ERP suites running on Amazon’s Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) platform. At that time, however, xTuple did not announce cloud option pricing. Officials at that time said the beta program would help xTuple understand both customer demand for the cloud-based offerings and how much Amazon would charge for the use of its EC2 platform-as-a-service.
Customer interest in the cloud offering has been strong, with 100 potential companies testing the service, said xTuple CEO Ned Lilly in an interview with Managing Automation. Two customers, so far, have chosen to migrate from on-premise implementations of the xTuple applications to the cloud-based offerings. xTuple currently has about 210 customers for its Standard Edition and Manufacturing Edition commercial products. Including the free, open source PostBooks edition, xTuple claims about 25,000 users of its ERP applications.
