- Emails are broken.
- </p><p>
- Emails make me waste my time. But I need them.
- Given the importance that emails have in our lives,
- it's incredible it's still one of the only software
- areas that did not evolve in the past 20 years!
- </p><p>
- Reading my inbox is the most unproductive task I do
- on a daily basis. I have to spend one full hour a
- day to process my emails. All the junk flows in the
- same inbox; spams, information that doesn't matter,
- quoted answers of quoted answers, etc. At the end
- of the hour, only 10 emails actually requested an
- answer from me. With a good tool, I could have done
- my job in 10 minutes!
- </p>
- </section>
- <section class="mt16 mb16 readable">
- <p>
- At Odoo, we build tools to bring productivity to
- enterprises. As emails and information flows are one of
- the biggest wastes of time in companies, we have to fix
- this.
- </p><p>
- To disrupt emails, you need more than just another user
- interface. We need to rethink the whole communication flow.
- </p>
- <h3>The Communication Mechanism of Odoo</h3>
- <p>
- Here are the ideas behing the Odoo communication tools:
- </p>
- <ul>
- <li>
- Get Things Done: your inbox is a
- todo list. You should be able to process (not only
- read) the inbox and easily mark messages for future
- actions. Every inbox should be empty after having
- been processed; no more overload of information.
- <img class="img-responsive" src="/website_blog/static/src/img/mail-sc-00.png"/>
- </li><li>
- Keep control of what you want to receive or don't want
- to receive. People should never receive spam. You
- should follow/unfollow any kind of information in one
- click.
- </li><li>
- Productivity is key: our smart user
- interface does not require you to click on every mail
- to read a thread. Reading a full thread, replying,
- attaching documents is super fast.
- <img class="img-responsive" src="/website_blog/static/src/img/mail-sc-03.png"/>
- </li><li>
- A mix of push & pull: Today, people
- are victims of what others decide to push to them.
- Odoo differentiates:
- <ul>
- <li>
- Messages "for information":
- you can pull them when you need some specific
- information; they are not required to be read
- every day.You receive only what you decided
- to follow.This accounts for 90% of your daily
- emails.Use the "Inbox" menu for these.
- </li><li>
- Messages "for action": they
- require your immediate attention and you need
- to process them all. This accounts for 10%
- of your daily emails. Use the "To: me" menu
- for these.
- </li>
- </ul>
- </li><li>
- Focus on the Content: Everything is
- stripped to emphasize on the real message. No more
- welcome introductions, greetings, signatures and legal
- notes.We standardize the layout of each message.
- (signatures are on the profile of a contact, not in
- every message)
- </li><li>
- Folders and mailing lists are great tools but too
- complex in traditional email clients. In Odoo, a
- group of contacts that share a discussion can be
- created with one click. Every group should have it's
- own email address.
- </li>
- </ul>

- New Features Launched
- </p>
- <p class="text-center">
- To add to an already comprehensive set of Odoo
- features, a website content management system (CMS
- or WMS) has been developed and a beta release is
- available from today, 31st January 2014.
- </p>
- </div>

- Odoo claims to be 'the Open Source software that makes
- building your company's website and selling your products
- online easy'. So how true is this statement?
- </p><p>
- "Odoo's latest launch will allow a business to go from
- zero to trading online quicker than ever before,” Stuart
- Mackintosh, MD of Open Source specialist and Odoo
- integration partner, OpusVL, explains. “The investment
- required to have a fully automated business system is
- dramatically reduced, enabling the small and medium
- enterprise to compete at a level of functionality and
- performance previously reserved for the big IT investors."
- </p>
- <blockquote>
- <p>
- "Finally, the leading edge is being brought to the masses.
- It will now be the turn of the big players to catch up to
- the superior technologies of the SME."
- </p>
- </blockquote>
- <p>
- "This is another clever and highly disruptive move by
- Odoo,which will force other technology providers to
- take another look at the value they are providing to ensure
- that their 'solutions' can still compete."
- </p><p>
- "Odoo now competes on many fronts, with no real
- competition out there to knock them off the top spot.
- With the launch of their integrated CMS and Ecommerce
- systems,it only elevates their position as one of the leading
- lights in the open source revolution. It will be at least 5
- years before another ERP or CMS provider will be able to
- compete at this level due to the technology currently
- employed by most industry providers."
- </p>
- <h4>Adding to industry leading technology</h4>
- <p>
- Like many modern website editors, with Odoo you can edit
- content in-line, enabling you to see exactly what you are
- changing and ensure your changes suit the context.
- </p><p>
- However, unlike other web content management systems, it
- fully integrates into the back-end database. This means
- that when you edit a product description, image or price,
- it updates the product database in real time, providing a
- true self-service window into the business.
- </p><p>
- This provides a single source of data for your company and
- removes the need to create offline synchronisation between
- website and product database.
- </p><p>
- As it comes, there is a default website based on Bootstrap
- 3, the latest industry standard for rapid development of
- multi-device websites backed by Twitter, so can be directly
- integrated with many web tools and works across all devices
- by default.
