History

xTuple is an Enterprise Software company, author of three products branded under the name xTuple ERP. All three products are built on the same Open source technology foundation, and share the same code base. The Standard and Manufacturing Editions have more functionality for larger companies and those companies needing more manufacturing capabilities.

xTuple began its life as OpenMFG developing and building its flagship product of the same name beginning in the year 2000. OpenMFG was a commercially licensed ERP implementation system targeted toward small to midsize manufacturers. The company adopted a “community code” model, meaning that customers who purchase or subscribe to licenses for the product have access to view and modify the source code. Unlike open source software, however, the code was not made publicly available.

Technology

The two tier design of the xTuple solutions intentionally places the burden of transaction processing on the server – specifically the database server. All the business logic resides in the procedural language of the open source database PostgreSQL allowing for a variety of client interfaces and scalability unbound by client-side limitations. The primary interface today is a graphical user interface (GUI) client that operates on Windows, Linux/Unix, and Macintosh platforms.
