It's annual holiday party time at xTuple, and this year the "Ugly Sweater" award goes to CEO Ned Lilly (even though it was technically a vest, and a handsome one at that)! The Ugly Sweater contest dovetailed nicely with a fun product innovation from xTuple customer Brand Castle. Their famous "Grandma's Ugly Christmas sweaters" are a cookie-maker's delight and a popular choice for this holiday season! Ned's daughters made the cookies and decorated them just in time for the xTuple holiday party!

Our bundle of joy started life as the "xTuple Web Portal.” It connected a website front-end to the ERP back-end. Then customers started asking us to add eCommerce/shopping cart functionality — for both B2B and B2C sales. After all, who doesn't want to sell more stuff online? But, it's so much more than that!

In a business applications world made up of giants, xTuple is a small open source ERP player. Though it may not have the brand power of an Oracle or SAP, the company's small size and open source foundations make it exceptionally nimble and able to innovate, which is something of an oddity in the ERP realm. Having built out its mobile credentials over the past few years, xTuple is now eyeing opportunities involving commerce applications.
