Odoo 16 - Odoo Experience 2022

On the 14th of October, Odoo released its new version Odoo 16. During the event, Odoo declared that they will continue to disrupt the ERP Mid-Market with interesting features.

In this article, you will see what those elements are and how Odoo will be able to compete with the main competitors in the MMC Market.

The 4 factors that allowed Odoo to compete with the top ERP Companies.

Odoo is the Right Solution

Fully integrated as an ERP System

  • Strong Product
  • IT innovative
  • Agile Methodology

All in One Software

When you have different software and try to integrate them, you will have a lot of issues.


For example, a technical issue you had to connect different software to one another so that you maintain these connectors, and connection you had to upgrade them as soon as you get a new release or a new version. 

That is not convenient, or easy to maintain.

Cost-Effective

Subscribing to multiple systems will end up costing you more than you think.

  • You will need to pay for multiple subscriptions instead of one. 
  • If your customer needs to access multiple data on the same platform you will need to request a special feature to the editor in order to create and allow the integration.
  • The product and the knowledge that is contained in Odoo is not like any other ERP system out there. Multiple Modules specially designed to help you with improving your business.

Odoo is an all-in-one sytem, it allows to tackle and access multiple modules, that are integrated with one another.
