The Odoo Community Association (OCA) is is a non profit organisation and a union of odoo partners, developers and many other companies that work with odoo. The OCA stands for development while Odoo‘s only target for you is to sell maintenance contracts. The aim of OCA is to support the odoo community in a financial, organizational and legal way. That includes the distribution of odoo, the enhancements of odoo and the dissemination of knowledge. The OCA takes care of the concerns of the open source movement with Odoo in an excellent way. We support this project with high conviction. Thus IT IS AG is gold sponsor of the OCA. 

We have brought odoo-partner.org into being because we think that our business targets aren‘t really well supported by Odoo S.A. at the moment. 

Together we could move way and give you an engine that helps you through the lull. Our business needs drive. Sure, in some areas each of us is competing, but be honest: Quite often, we could use a guide, a helping hand, a turnkey solution, best practices, or just a partner to discuss. As an Odoo pro you know: not all of those information and discussion are for the public.

So we decided for a closed group network that helps partners. We create a movement which makes Odoo esteem us as their partners, because we have heard too often from many of you that Odoo S.A. is neglecting its partners at the moment. We think that our basic needs shall be heard and it will happen if we engage for it together. Thus we invite you to participate for a closer collaboration. We‘d like to organize this network and give it the alias 'Odoo Partner.org'.

• The OCA supports odoo-partner.org 

• We don’t compete with the OCA 

• We see odoo-partner.org as an addition
