About Stratum ERP
Stratum ERP is an independent Odoo Implementation Architecture practice. We work directly with businesses that need Odoo implemented properly: upgrade-safe, environment-reproducible, and built to be maintained long after the initial engagement ends.
Why Stratum ERP Exists
Stratum ERP was founded by Umer Aziz Malik, an Odoo Implementation Architect with 14 years of delivery experience across enterprise billing, telco platforms, and ERP implementations.
Before Odoo, the background was enterprise billing systems: jBilling and AppDirect for SaaS and subscription platforms, a telco OTT billing platform, and the Ignition Group billing rollout. That foundation in structured, high-volume transactional systems is what shaped the Stratum Framework.
The practice is built around a four-layer architecture methodology developed after seeing the same failure patterns repeated across Odoo implementations: monolithic modules that break on upgrade, environments that drift apart, and no version control beyond a developer's laptop.
Current delivery includes Odoo v18 and v19 implementations. The Techsource MSP engagement (Odoo 18) and the Global IT Managed Services Provider integration project (Odoo 19, 190+ countries, 10,000+ field engineers) are the published case studies.
Every engagement follows the same framework. Every module sits in the correct layer. Every environment is provisioned from version-controlled code. The result is an Odoo implementation that can be upgraded, replicated, and handed over without archaeology.

Principles That Guide Every Engagement
Upgrade-Safe by Design
Every customisation sits in the correct architectural layer. When Odoo releases a new version, your implementation upgrades cleanly because nothing touches core code that should not be touched.
Reproducible Environments
Every environment is provisioned from version-controlled code. Dev, staging, and production are identical. No configuration drift, no environment-specific surprises on go-live day.
Built to Hand Over
Implementations are documented, modular, and structured so your internal team or next partner can maintain them without archaeology. No vendor lock-in, no tribal knowledge.
Evolution of the Practice
2012
Enterprise Billing and Platforms
Started in enterprise billing systems: jBilling, AppDirect, telco OTT platforms, and the Ignition Group billing rollout. High-volume transactional systems that demanded structured architecture.
2016
Odoo Specialisation
Focused on the Odoo ecosystem after recognising its potential for service-based businesses. Started developing repeatable implementation patterns built on the same architectural discipline.
2019
The Stratum Framework
Formalised the four-layer architecture methodology after seeing the same failure patterns across implementations: monolithic modules, environment drift, and no version control.
2024
Stratum ERP Practice
Launched Stratum ERP as an independent Implementation Architecture practice. Delivered the Techsource MSP implementation (Odoo 18) and the Global IT MSP integration project (Odoo 19).
2025
v18/v19 Delivery and Scale
Active delivery across Odoo 18 and 19. Seven live integrations delivered for a single engagement. Available for managed services, API integration, and implementation rescue engagements.
