Advanced construction

In today’s world people’s homes are more and more compartmentalized. Almost all of us have in our home a living room and a bed room. There are also people that feel the need of even more space so they have in their home laundries, dining rooms and even a sports room or a games room.

Because our lifestyle has advanced and the technology has developed a lot there has been an increasing demand for new and innovative constructions. This is how the garden studio was created. Such a studio can be the best alternative for a large family or a family that only needs more space.

You can place this studio in your back yard and you can use it for a number of things. One of them would be a working space, for example. Some people work from home while others bring some work home with them. So, they need a quiet place where they can focus on their job. Or if you have a student son or daughter then they will certainly appreciate a place where they can focus on their homework and their study. So, investing in an office garden studio would be a wise idea.

Also, there are other things that you can use a garden studio for. For example, you can choose to transform this studio in a games room or a TV room. You can put a comfortable sofa and a big screen TV in there and maybe a snack bar. You can spend your evenings with your husband or your wife is a nice quiet environment.

A garden studio is a modern construction that can have various sizes and that are made out of wood and glass thus creating a perfect space for relaxation. If you would like your garden studio to have some special features designed especially for your needs. So, decide how you would like your studio to look!

An Atelier garden studio is a subtle exercise in balance between aesthetics and function, between attention to high technology and natural materials and the effect on their surroundings.

Many small and medium corporates are turning to open source in these hard economic times to find ways of reducing costs whilst improving their productivity and service level. Open source solutions have traditionally been used in the IT infrastructure side of businesses, because this is where the IT staff can often choose the tools that suit them the best, and IT staff are far more aware of the benefits of open source than other business areas. However there are a large number of effective open source business applications available that can have the same positive impact on a businesses bottom line as open source has had on the IT infrastructure side.

One of the most expensive business application, for which there are ready open source replacements, is in the finance and accounting functions. Some of the more popular applications include:

• Tiny ERP,
• Open Bravo,
• SQL Ledger, and
• Compiere

Although these are strong financial and ERP applications ,none of the above solutions suit a business that needs to manage a large number of individual contracts of relatively low value, with recurring monthly or annual billing. This type of business requirement is characteristic of many service orientated businesses in the world today, such as Internet Solution Providers, Cell phone and other rent-to-own companies.

These businesses require an application with features such as:

• Easy and fast contract entry, with strong validation to avoid errors during capture,
• Inventory price list and cost list maintenance with date rules to enforce new pricing for contracts at appropriate times,
• Easy contract lookup and customer issue resolution,
• Ability to email customer statements and invoices,
• Debit order and payment matching management,
• Customer detail management and,
• Supplier management
