Comments and Conclusions:

Only 76 people responded.I had expected the community response to be larger considering that the mailing lis has over 1000 registered users. (Some of these are duplicates as people use different profiles for dev and user lists).

Majority of respondents are OFBiz integrators or offer OFBiz consulting services so this appears to be the community base that is attracted to OFBiz.

Of the 9 respondents evaluating OFBiz for their company's use 6 of them were not integrators or consultants. This suggests that these 6 are in fact real end users.I suspect the end user community is a lot larger than this but perhaps they dont actively interface with the OFBiz community but rather with their OFBiz integrator or consultant.

The fact that there are so many OFBiz integrators and consultants means that there must be adequate business in the marketplace to support them.
