Agaplan is a premier OpenERP Gold Partner in Belgium. We strive to be close to our customers and help them optimize their business processes by implementing a costeffective, flexible ERP solution. fks (Formal and Knowledge Systems) from Hasselt, a well-known developer of turnkey software for a couple of niche areas and passionate about Open Source Technology, and Bubbles-IT from Lokeren, one of the first OpenERP Partners in Flanders, have entered into a joint venture which led to the establishment of Agaplan nv, in which both parties equally participate. Agaplan, OpenERP Gold Partner, strives to become Flanders' Number One in implementing OpenERP (the world's most widespread Open Source Technology ERP software with thousands of installations). Recent market studies clearly prove that the interest of SMEs in ERP systems, and more specifically in OpenERP, is exponentially growing. With the OpenERP knowledge of the Bubbles-IT staff, the project methodology, experience with ‘fixed-price’ projects and the professional services typical for fks, Agaplan has all the key elements to realise its ambitious goals. Initially, Agaplan will operate both from Hasselt and Lokerens to establish a close relationship with its customers. F
