Compiere (pronounced KOM-pyeh-reh, "to accomplish, complete, fulfill" in Italian) is an
Compiere was founded in 1999 by Jorg Janke[1] and was among the top 10 projects in SourceForge[2] from 2002 for 4 years,[3] reaching one million downloads and 100 partners in 2006.
In 2006, Compiere, Inc. raised venture capital from New Enterprise Associates[4] with the goal of transforming the successful open-source ERP project into a growing and sustainable commercial open-source business. In 2007, the company added new executives, revamped engineering and support processes, and expanded its sales and services channels.[5] The Compiere product line expanded to include Professional, Enterprise, and Cloud Editions while the company continued to maintain the open-source foundation as Community Edition.[6]
Like many commercial ventures built around open-source projects, there was a degree of contention between company management (who sought to monetize the investments in R&D, Services and Support) and voices from the community (who desired that Compiere source code and business processes remained free and open as Adempiere at that moment and iDempiere some years later). On June 16, 2010, Consona acquired Compiere, Inc. Terms of the deal were not disclosed .[7]

Database independence
Compiere has been criticized for not being a pure open-source product because of its dependence on
Taking advantage of the Database Kit to create a port for the Apache Derby database the ER/Box project provides an integrated all-Java, all open source Compiere distribution. In addition to the Apache Derby database port ER/Box is also capable of running on PostgreSQL.
Compiere also works with the open-source alternative to Oracle database, EnterpriseDB. User documentation is still offered on a fee-based accessibility.

Spin-offs
- Adempiere: Disagreement between a component of the Compiere user community and Compiere, Inc. resulted in the creation of this spin-off Open-Source project. The primary point of dispute was a belief by members of the user community that Compiere, Inc. had ignored the contributions and concerns of community members. Their claim[16] was that the continuing direction of the product was driven mainly by Compiere, Inc.'s venture capital partners and not the user community at-large.
- metasfresh - originally based on ADempiere, developed in Germany.
- iDempiere also known as OSGI + ADempiere. It modularized the code through the OSGi framework so it allows a plugin architecture. Today it is the ERP project driven by the most widespread, active and open community (not backed by a single company).
