Also, among the invited experts, our Director and Founder, Oleksiy Bardakov, was present, who shared his experience in implementing ERP systems in Ukraine. He noted that the format of the event was quite interesting and paid special attention to the release of the accounting module for Ukraine.
Oleksiy comments on it as follows: “The release of this module was really necessary, because it makes Odoo even more attractive for automation, will allow us to attract the attention of more customers. So yes, this is exactly the piece of the puzzle that the system was missing for larger-scale deployment in our country.”
We asked our Sales Manager, who also participated in the event, what he emphasized for himself following the event, and received the following answer: “I liked that the forum included speakers who are directly related to the product, because they provided really useful and interesting information.
This factor played a significant role in the fact that the event looked harmonious and truly professional. Regarding the presentation of the accounting module for Ukraine, this is exactly what Odoo in Ukraine was sorely lacking. The module almost completely meets all the modern market requirements in accounting, and this cannot but please.
This release will significantly increase the interest of enterprises in Odoo, because this issue was perhaps the most important, and finally it can be considered resolved. I cannot fail to note the moment that a lot of useful statistics were provided. Measuring something in numbers and graphs, especially when it comes to business, is probably the best way.”
Summing up, we can say that we spent our time attending this conference quite productively and with benefit. The experience, knowledge and insights that we gained during the event will certainly be useful to us in the further development of our direction. We also want to express our gratitude to the organizers of the event for the invitation. We appreciate the opportunity to be part of such a cool community!
