The source code for the OpenObject framework and core ERP (enterprise resource planning) modules is curated by the Belgium based Odoo S.A. Additionally, customized programming, support, and other services are provided by an active global community and a network of 500 official partners. The main Odoo components are the OpenObject[3] framework, about 30 core modules (also called official modules) and more than 3000 community modules.[4][5][6][7]
