There are no difference between OpenERP Onsite and OpenERP Online. OpenERP Online always uses the latest official stable version of OpenERP and includes several additional services: hosting, database management, stable security update, backups, maintenance, bug fixing and migrations, etc...

On top of that, custom modules cannot be installed by the end-user to make sure that your server will be as stable as possible.

For every subscription, we provide the following hardware resources:

• One application server for OpenERP, with web and GTK access,
• Two incremental backup servers,
• An access to the control center, backup and monitoring system.

It also includes the following services:

• Maintenance services
  • bug fixes analyzed within 3 open days
  • migrations to each new version
  • security udpates.
• Hosting at high bandwidth in our Europe or U.S. data-centers
• Maintenance and 24/7 monitoring of your servers

Our pricing model is extremely simple. We charge $49 or €39 per month per user. (According to the currency you choose). We bill you each month according to the number of users registered in the system at that time. If you add new users during the next 30 days they will only be charged with the next invoice.

The storage volume allowed is 1GB per account, this being the minimum dedicated per database. If you use more we will charge $6.5 or €5 per extra GB.

You will receive an invoice at the beginning of each billing period, according to the number of active users created in the system. Once the invoice is paid, you will get a confirmation that the payment has been successful through the secured payment platform. If you do not pay the invoice within the payment term, your account will be deactivated but will be reactivated automatically after the payment has occurred.

Daily statistics on your OpenERP Online usage page are available through the control center. They Include hours of use by instance, hours of use by day or user, monthly invoice amount, space used by your instance(s), etc.

For every OpenERP Online subscription, we provide an access to the following infrastructure to guarantee you the best reliability and security:

• OpenERP Server and Web Interface
• PostgreSQL database
• Backup servers
• An access to the control center, so that you can control your OpenERP Online instances and perform actions: creation of new instances, migrations, duplication of instances, access to backups, etc.

We have two data centers, one in Europe (France) and one in the U.S. (East Coast).

With OpenERP Online, we want to provide you with the maximum flexibility and avoid the traditional Lock-In model of SaaS offers. Therefore, the version of OpenERP used in OpenERP Online is the same as the Open Source version of OpenERP you can install on your premise.

From the control center, you also have an access to all your backup servers. You can download a dump of your PostgreSQL database and all your files from our FTP access and switch to an on-site installation of OpenERP.

For security and confidentiality reasons, we don't provide servers' shell accesses to our customers. We only allow 3 OpenERP employees to have a root access to our customers' servers.
