Reminiscing a crazy journey: building an event sourced ERP system

A decade ago, AFAS started to work on a crazy idea: let’s build ERP software in a completely different way. Instead of three layers and a relational database, we set out to develop a proprietary low-code platform (‘Focus’) to create a new event-sourced ERP system (‘SB+‘).
Today we are hosting the accounting of a thousand companies.
The ride from the initial idea to our current state was bumpy and had a lot of turns. In this keynote, we share stories of our journey and correlate them with results from the scientific research we have conducted.
