Since 2015, the licensed Odoo Enterprise has been a new product alongside the open source software Odoo Community. The Enterprise Edition is not a competing, but a complementary product to the Community Edition, whereby both versions benefit from each other. Odoo Enterprise benefits from the visibility created by millions of Community users, Odoo Community benefits largely from the improvements made in Odoo Enterprise.
With the development of Odoo Enterprise, Odoo mainly pursues economic goals. Odoo Community is intended to introduce as many users as possible to Odoo, Odoo Enterprise serves to generate revenues, which in turn form the basis for further developments in both versions. Thus Odoo does not only generate income from the support services of the Community Edition, but also from the licenses of the Enterprise Edition.
Technically, the Enterprise Edition is the same as the Community Edition, but the Enterprise Edition comes with some additional features that we present in our blog today.
