Ostendo Continuum is an affordable ERP and Enterprise Mobility system for managing the operational business activities of small to large businesses.
Ostendo Continuum (ERP)
A Smarter, More Affordable ERP for Australian & New Zealand Businesses
Ostendo Continuum and its companion mobility platform, Ostendo Freeway, are purpose-built ERP solutions designed specifically for the way Australian and New Zealand businesses work. Affordable, powerful, and remarkably flexible, Ostendo Continuum gives companies of all sizes the tools they need to run smarter, operate efficiently, and scale with confidence.
Developed in New Zealand by Development-X, and implemented across Australia, New Zealand and beyond (including the Pacific Islands, PNG, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, South Africa and the UK), Ostendo Continuum has become the trusted ERP choice for organisations that need more than basic accounting add-ons.
Ibis Business Intelligence Solutions has been a leading Ostendo Consulting Partner since the product’s launch in 2006—supporting clients across both Australia and New Zealand with a skilled team of consultants nationwide.

Cloud or Server Deployment — Your Choice
Ostendo Continuum offers a direct cloud-hosted option and an on-premise installation option—giving you the flexibility to choose how you run your system:
Cloud Database Hosting
- No need for your own cloud server or terminal services
- Users connect directly from the Ostendo application
- Secure, flexible, and accessible anywhere
Client-Server / On-Premise Installation
- Install on your local server
- Or run from a cloud-based server with terminal services
Ostendo Continuum runs on the robust Firebird SQL database engine and easily scales to 100+ users.
Both deployment options allow full database backups and the ability to run test environments when needed.
A Fully Integrated, Affordable ERP
Unlike subscription-based SaaS ERPs, Ostendo Continuum licences are one-off purchases, with only a low-cost annual licence renewal fee.
This makes Ostendo Continuum significantly more affordable for small to large businesses—without sacrificing functionality or integration.
Works Seamlessly with Your Existing Accounting System
Ostendo Continuum integrates directly with leading accounting platforms including: MYOB AccountRight Live, Xero, Intuit QuickBooks, MoneyWorks, and Reckon.
Your existing accounting software becomes the financials module, while Ostendo Continuum manages your operational processes. Together, they form a single, fully integrated system.
This means:
- No need to change your accounting system
- No disruption to your existing financial reporting
- No interruption to how your accountant accesses your data
- No juggling multiple disconnected add-ons
Implementation Matters — Experience Counts
ERP success depends as much on the implementation team as the software itself.
Ostendo Continuum is powerful and flexible, but implementing it effectively requires deep understanding of both the system and real-world operational processes.
Ibis Business Intelligence Solutions has specialised in Ostendo since its launch, with decades of experience implementing integrated ERP solutions across a wide range of industries. Our consultants bring strong operational, financial, and change-management expertise—ensuring your system is set up to deliver long-term value, not short-term fixes.
End-to-End Project Management & Ongoing Support
We manage your implementation properly—using online project management tools, documented tasks, and clear milestones. After go-live, our Support Centre, toll-free line, online ticketing, and Knowledgebase give you fast, reliable support whenever you need it.
About the Developers — Development-X
Development-X has been building practical, industry-focused operational systems since 2000.
Their background in manufacturing, distribution, service, and contracting means Ostendo Continuum is not theoretical software—it’s a real-world solution built by people who understand hands-on operational challenges.
