Unified Business Model |
The Unified Business Model (UBM) is an abstract business model made up of only five generic concepts (Node, Movement, Resource, Item, Path) to express business related processes. It is the architecture of the core system of ERP5 and all extensions (hence the name ERP5) and provides a unified, business-independent vocabulary within a simple and compact data model to guarantee ease of access for engineers as well as consistency across all modules of ERP5. |

First Fully Web-Based ERP |
ERP5 was also the first ERP system being fully web-based requiring just a browser with internet connection to be used. |
| 2003 |
Peer to Peer Television |
In 2003 Nexedi developed a device that once hooked up to a televion would convert and stream the TV programs online, so they could be viewed from any computer around the world. A second device for playing content streamed online on a regular TV complemented the set. |

Time Division Wifi |
Wifi time division polling protocol that solves the problem of determinism or congestion in wifi networks due to hidden antenna problem. |
| 2005 |
First Implementation of ERP using SaaS and PaaS |
2005 marked the firt time, Nexedi was able to successfully implement an ERP5 installation based solely on PaaS (Platform) and SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) components. |
| 2007 |
First Free SaaS ERP |
The first implementation using solely SaaS and PaaS components also resulted in ERP5 being the first fully free SaaS-based ERP system, a pre-configured, ready-to-use ERP specifically tailored ot small and medium enterprises. |
| 2007 |
Standard Implementation Process |
A positive side effect of ERP5's generic architecture is the fact, that all implementations more or less followed the same routines. These routines where eventually formalized and fixed into what has become the "ERP5 Standard Implementation Process" - a generic process for implementing ERP5 across any business field resulting in much lower implementation cost. |
| 2010 |
Reflexive Documents Types |
Nexedi untroduced in ERP5 the notion of "portal type of portal type" which brings reflexivity to document management systems by turning document type definition objects into first class documents themselves. |
| 2010 |
Distributed Cloud / Edge Computing |
Nexedi created SlapOS in 2010. SlapOS is an open source grid operating system for distributed cloud computing based on the motto "Everything is a process". It is also the first practical implementation of a general purpose edge computing system. SlapOS opens new perspectives for both business and research in the area of resilience and security on the Cloud. |
| 2013 |
ERP Configuration relying on Artificial Intelligence |
In 2013, Nexedi created the the ERP5 Artificial intelligence Toolkit (EAT) - a prototype consisting of a set of ERP5 modules which allow to manage and evaluate configuration questions, design decision trees and collect answer data as input for learning classifiers. |
| 2013 |
Resilient hybrid mesh network |
In 2013, Nexedi created a resilient network overlay that solves the growing problem of poor connectivity of modern Internet by generating a self-evolving random mesh of tunnels. re6st unifies radio mesh and wired mesh by providing low latency routing. It was also the first commercial application of babel protocol (RFC 6126). |
| 2014 |
Distributed Memory Manager for out-of-core |
For Wendelin, the Big Data platform of Nexedi, a distributed memory manager was prototyped and is currently under developement. It allows to go beyond the physical memory/RAM limitations enabling true out-of-core data processing. |
| 2016 |
RINA Overlay |
As part of PRISTINE project, Nexedi implemented Pouzin Society's RINA network protocol on a commercial cloud computing platform as an extension of re6st, making RINA available virtually worldwide. |
| 2017 |
HTML5 working copy |
Nexedi invented "Free Web" in the form of self modifiable HTML5 offline applications that turn any user into a developer in one click without requiring to install a local development environment. This can be viewed as the invention of the HTML5 working copy. |
| 2018 |
LTE/NR Converged NMS |
Converged Network Management System (NMS) that supports both LTE/NR networks and edge computing services in a unified way. |
| 2018 |
Layered VCS |
Layered VCS object model. |
