ArchitectureOpenbravo Get Together Developing with OpenbravoThe MDD (Model Driven Development) leads to:SEPARATE DESIGN from ARCHITECTURE/PLATFORMA higher quality of code (drastic REDUCTION OF MANUAL CODE)A higher PRODUCTIVITY and efficiency

The MVC Model (Model, View, Control) allows for:The DE-COUPLING of development areasSustainable APPLICATION GROWTHAn EASIER MAINTENANCE of the code

Development EnvironmentMain Advantages
