Open Architecture
Every component of the Predictiv stack is built on proven, open-source technology. This isn't a cost-cutting measure - it's a strategic choice that delivers better performance, greater flexibility, and complete vendor independence.
The same technologies that power the world's largest internet platforms now power your ERP. No proprietary lock-in. No forced upgrade cycles. No licensing gotchas.
Linux Foundation
The foundation of enterprise computing. Linux powers 96% of the world's top one million web servers, all 500 of the world's fastest supercomputers, and the majority of cloud infrastructure globally.
For Predictiv deployments, Linux delivers superior performance, security, and stability compared to proprietary alternatives. While Windows Server remains an option, Linux eliminates unnecessary licensing costs while providing better resource utilisation.
Our recommended distributions include Ubuntu LTS and Red Hat Enterprise Linux - both with commercial support options and extensive enterprise track records.
PostgreSQL - The World's Most Advanced Open Source Database
PostgreSQL isn't just free - it's often better. Financial institutions, government agencies, and technology giants trust PostgreSQL with their most critical data.
The database offers enterprise features that match or exceed proprietary alternatives: full ACID compliance, advanced JSON support, table partitioning, parallel query execution, and sophisticated indexing options. Unlike proprietary databases, you're never locked into a single vendor for support, hosting, or scaling.
PostgreSQL's extensibility means Predictiv can leverage advanced capabilities like full-text search, geospatial data (PostGIS), and time-series optimisation without additional licensing.
Java - Enterprise Workloads at Scale
Java remains the backbone of enterprise computing for good reason. Twenty-five years of production hardening, a massive talent pool, and unmatched tooling ecosystem make Java the pragmatic choice for business-critical systems.
Predictiv runs on OpenJDK - the open-source reference implementation - eliminating any Java licensing concerns while maintaining full compatibility with the enterprise Java ecosystem.
The Java Virtual Machine provides automatic memory management, sophisticated garbage collection, and just-in-time compilation that delivers performance rivalling native code. Your ERP runs fast and stays fast.
Python - AI and Machine Learning
When it comes to artificial intelligence and machine learning, Python dominates. The language powers the majority of AI development worldwide, from TensorFlow to PyTorch, from data science to natural language processing.
Predictiv leverages Python for advanced analytics, machine learning models, and AI-powered features. Our natural language query engine, predictive analytics, and intelligent automation all build on Python's rich ecosystem.
This isn't just about current capabilities - it's about future readiness. As AI capabilities evolve, Python ensures Predictiv can integrate the latest advances without architectural rewrites.
React Native - Next-Generation Interfaces
A single codebase delivering native mobile applications for iOS and Android, plus progressive web applications for desktop browsers. React Native reduces development costs while ensuring consistent user experiences across all platforms.
Developed and maintained by Meta (Facebook), React Native benefits from massive investment and a thriving community. The component-based architecture enables rapid development, extensive customisation, and seamless updates.
Your team accesses Predictiv naturally - desktop users get full-featured web interfaces, mobile users get native apps that work offline, and everyone benefits from a consistent, modern experience.
Community-Backed Innovation
Thousands of contributors continuously improving every layer of the stack. Security patches arrive faster. Features evolve based on real-world needs. You benefit from collective innovation.
Battle-Tested at Scale
These aren't experimental technologies. PostgreSQL powers Apple, Spotify, and Instagram. Linux runs AWS. Java handles billions of transactions daily. Proven technology for proven results.
Zero Licensing Costs
No per-user fees. No CPU limits. No feature gates. Scale your deployment based on business needs, not software licensing negotiations.
Hosting Neutral
Deploy on any cloud provider - AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, or regional providers. Run on-premise if regulations require. Your choice, always.
Why Predictiv
vs SAP S/4HANA
SAP requires proprietary ABAP programming, forces HANA database adoption, and locks you into SAP infrastructure. Talent is expensive and scarce. Integration requires SAP middleware. Every component adds licensing complexity. Predictiv offers equivalent functionality without the constraints.
vs Microsoft Dynamics 365
Microsoft's trajectory is clear - Azure dependency increasing with each release. The .NET ecosystem, while capable, limits your talent pool and ties you to Microsoft's roadmap. Predictiv works with Microsoft infrastructure when desired, but never requires it.
vs Acumatica
Built on Microsoft's technology stack, Acumatica inherits its constraints. SQL Server licensing adds costs. Azure preference limits hosting options. The xRP platform, while modern, creates proprietary dependencies. Predictiv matches the user experience without the lock-in.
vs Oracle NetSuite
Oracle's cloud-only model means you're always renting, never owning. Pricing opacity, aggressive up-selling, and integration complexity are well-documented. When Oracle acquires a product, independent options diminish. Predictiv keeps you in control.
