Manufacturers that are open to the open source software movement have another new option following the launch earlier this year of Coupa Software and its Coupa eProcurement Express open source e-procurement software product. As an open source vendor, Coupa lets users download and use the eProcurement Express executable product and source code for free. Anyone may modify the source code and redistribute the result, although, under the General Public License (GPL) agreement used by Coupa, no one may charge a fee for the modified application. eProcurement Express is designed to break down the two barriers that most often prevent successful electronic procurement deployments at small and mid-market companies: deployment cost and ease of use, says Dave Stephens. Stephens founded Coupa last year after a 10-year career at Oracle Corp., which included a stint managing that company's procurement software development team.
