Hi Si. Cool video demo. I had no idea this integration existed. Very excited about the possibility of ease of use and design of frontend through Magento with robust CRM/ERP backend of Opentaps.

On another note, I found out on a new Magento install yesterday that the latest versions come w/ WYSIWYG editor and don’t need the plugin.

Congratulations on the continued growth of Opentaps.

Great to hear from you again, Sterling! We’ve had a lot of interest from people who want to use magento for shopping cart and opentaps as the CRM/ERP system. Did you know there’s a magento-opentaps integration now? See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46CDSZ-rnVw

Stay in touch and best of luck!

Fascinating to read your opinions on other software. Thank you for sharing.

I\’ve been using Magento since before their 1.0 production release a few years ago. It\’s great for simple carts.

Love the Magento Connect for installing 3rd party add-ons. I use the WYSIWYG one for all of my clients.

Also like the way themes can be extended to easily offer different seasonal looks without copying over a ton of repetitive code.

The OO framework is great, very similar to java. But as uncompiled php, it can run a bit slow.
