                new initiatives at LinuxWorld 2007

   Openbravo unveils version 2.3 of leading ERP suite and launches new initiatives for
                        users, partners and broader community

LinuxWorld San Francisco, CA – (Booth 1308, OSA) - August 6-9, 2007 -
Openbravo, the leading developer of professional, web-based, open source ERP solutions
for small and medium businesses, will be showcasing version 2.3 of its ERP application
and unveiling a new market-leading initiatives for its users, partners and the broader
community of Openbravo.

Openbravo will be attending the show within the OSA booth, as part of the Open
Solutions Alliance Interoperability Showcase.

Throughout the show Openbravo will be running demonstrations of its new v2.3
software, which will be available for download and community feedback at SourceForge
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/openbravo/), and Openbravo-Jaspersoft interoperability
demos . This new version builds on modules and capabilities to the popular ERP project,
which has had more than 250,000 downloads, and includes new features such as:

New user interface: Improved design, intuitive widget layout, hierarchical navigation,
greater usability, simplified interface, and flexible skin customization features. The main
application menu and application windows have been re-organized to group functionality
in a more logical pattern, making it more user-friendly.
Revised accounting module: Tools for importing taxes for specific countries, general
ledger and tax reports configuration dependent on local rules and complete account
tracking through improved debt payment information.

Integration with JasperReports: JasperReports is a powerful open source Java
reporting tool that has the ability to deliver rich content onto the screen, to the printer or
into PDF, HTML, XLS, CSV and XML files. It now provides a simple, flexible and
attractive method of generating reports within Openbravo.

User message management: Clear, user-friendly messages are now provided for all
model validations (database constraints etc...) which enables all exceptions to be clearly
communicated to users using text messages.

New alerts: A new background process periodically checks all defined alerts in the
system. Revised alerts and data validations are proactively communicated to designated
users, shown in the applications menu and available to manage via pending alert
windows. The alerts are also sent to users via email.

Single sign-on: In collaboration with the Open Solutions Alliance, support for single
sign-on has been implemented paving the way for integration with other corporate
applications.

Manel Sarasa, CEO of Openbravo said, “LinuxWorld is the main event of the open
source calendar which means that it is the perfect opportunity to demonstrate our latest
version to the market and to share in the buzz of new technologies and capabilities. We
are also excited to talk to the community about our plans for the future growth and
continued leadership of Openbravo. We have so many initiatives in which we have been
working so hardly.”

“As always, we welcome the chance to spend time speaking with users and prospects
about the benefits of ERP and open source, as well as continuing to engage with other
OSA members on key topics such as interoperability and common customer view.”
