Potential Ideas for Site and Layout

Take a look at netsuite.com. Notice how they organize their main navbar:

     Products (for us, could be features / solutions or similar)
     Customers
     Solutions (note the "By Role", exactly to Adrian's point there is CEO  / CFO / CIO)
     Platform
     Services (for OFBiz, this could be "Resources")
     Partners (SI's?)
     Company (History, Intro Committers and other key contributors?)
