StarOffice, Linux fly high on Singapore Airlines
May 29, 2007

Singapore Airlines is offering access to Sun's StarOffice 8 office
productivity suite free of charge to passengers on its new Boeing
777-300ER aircraft. StarOffice, Sun's proprietary version of
OpenOffice.org, runs on the aircraft's Linux server and is accessed
via a seat-back terminal at each passenger's seat, according to Sun.

Thanks to new USB ports embedded in the armrest of each chair (near
the headphone jack), passengers now can use a USB key (aka thumb
drive) -- or other portable drive -- to access their documents,
spreadsheets, and presentation files from software running on the
plane's Linux server.

[...]

"With heightened security, access to laptops during flights can
sometimes be restricted," said Wong Heng Chew, managing director at
Sun's Singapore division. "The availability of StarOffice ... offers
Singapore Airlines' customers the opportunity to work on and access
their information in an open, secure and freely available fashion
independent of any vendor or file formats during their flights."

Re: USEFUL FAQ

Dear Eric,

Before you continue the below.........
Not sure if you have noticed our strategy of implementation where CASH BILL = INVOICE + RECEIPT
and since money related stuff and thrown into RECEIPT, hence policy on finance charges, payment mode etc are on RECEIPT... nothing to do with INVOICE..
A receipt can be created when you receive money, in other words want to
1) Create a deposit from customer
2) Settle Documents(Customer invoices / credit memos)
3) Create cashsales

Thanks

Web-Based Software Services Take Hold

Source: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB117918081180502446.html?mod=djemTECH


Web-Based Software Services Take Hold

Accounting Quirk, Fewer Hassles,
Lower Costs Lure Businesses to Sector
By VAUHINI VARA
May 15, 2007; Page B3

A year ago, Mark Rose, general manager of procurement at Chevron Corp., used the oil company's own software and paid outsourcer Electronic Data Systems Corp. millions of dollars a year to manage its catalogs of products and services from suppliers.

But when that system became too costly and ineffective, Mr. Rose turned to new software that he hadn't considered much before: a Web-based service.

To negotiate prices with suppliers, Chevron, San Ramon, Calif., used to have a complex process that involved sending emails back and forth with attached spreadsheets. At the time, Mr. Rose says, he didn't consider Web-based services because he worried that sending information over the Web could open the oil giant up to security troubles.

But then he found a new service from Ketera Technologies Inc., Santa Clara, Calif., one of many Web-software start-ups that have attracted attention over the past 12 months. Using Ketera's software, Chevron's suppliers could input and make changes to pricing through the Ketera Web site, and Mr. Rose's staff could approve them and make tweaks on the Web site.

"We're an energy company, not a software company," says Mr. Rose. "If we can free ourselves up to dabble less in software and more in oil we'll be in good shape." He adds he's now spending about a third of what he previously spent, but declined to give exact figures.

Like Chevron, businesses are turning to companies like Ketera that provide what is known as "software as a service." The sector sprouted up eight years ago, when former Oracle Corp. executive Marc Benioff launched Salesforce.com Inc., a start-up that let companies manage sales leads through a Web site. While companies typically had organized their relationships with customers using customized software installed on computers, Mr. Benioff's idea was to offer a no-frills online service that let companies make only minor tweaks. Such Web-based software required less investment in on-premise software and hardware, got up and running more quickly, and was easier to use.

Early on, that attracted mostly small businesses that weren't previously using any software at all and could easily justify trying this new approach. But larger companies stayed away, having invested in the late 1990s in traditional software from the likes of Oracle and SAP AG.

Now that's changing, partly because of an accounting quirk. Companies are starting to get rid of their old software at a time when capital-expenditure budgets are tight. Traditional software and the hardware to run it are considered a capital expenditure. But Web-based services are typically sold as a subscription, which means corporate buyers can account for them as a maintenance expense, which falls into a different bucket.

As a result, companies are turning to start-ups such as Ketera, LucidEra Inc. and Workday Inc. that are offering Web-based services for tasks like controlling spending and managing employees. Meanwhile, a handful of older software-as-a-service companies such as Taleo Corp. and RightNow Technologies Inc. have gone public; another, NetSuite Inc., is widely expected to try to do so.

Big software makers like SAP and Oracle are themselves ramping up efforts in the area. Google Inc. is even getting involved, with Web-based word-processing and spreadsheet services for businesses. Research firm Gartner Inc. calculates the world-wide market for software as a service will grow to $19.3 billion by 2011 from $6.3 billion last year.

"We're seeing the slow, steady evolution of the technology," says Mr. Benioff of Salesforce.com, noting that Web-based services have gone beyond the sales and marketing services that Salesforce.com pioneered.

Some larger, risk-averse companies -- though still nervous about Web-based services -- are now trying them. That was the experience of Rhonda Stickley, director of recruiting and staffing at timber giant Weyerhaeuser Co., who began using a Web-based service for tracking hiring from Taleo two years ago. At the time, Weyerhaeuser, Federal Way, Wash., was about to embark on a hiring spree as many of its employees neared retirement. But its technology for tracking hires was outdated and clumsy, involving contractors to scan paper applications into a program from a big software company.

Even so, when Ms. Stickley discovered Taleo's service, she wondered whether applicants' private information would be secure and if Taleo would be able to handle the surge of Weyerhaeuser applicants. She visited the Dublin, Calif., software company in 2005, toured its research-and-development center, and grilled its chief executive about everything from the company's emergency plans to its long-term strategy.

Ms. Stickley was satisfied when she heard Taleo was planning to add more Web-based human-resources services that she could later add and had security guarantees that more than satisfied the company's requirements. Now, she uses Taleo's service to solicit applications through the Web, which enter her system directly without any scanning required.

Ms. Stickley stopped paying the eight human scanners she used to have and now doesn't have to worry about maintaining hardware or on-premise software. She says she's saving 10% to 12% by using the service, mostly from efficiency gains because the service is less of a hassle to manage and easier for job applicants to use than the software she had previously used.

One challenge that remains for users of Web-based services is that companies can't customize these services the way they could with traditional software. Mr. Rose of Chevron has had to tweak the way his company communicates with suppliers about prices to fit with how the Ketera service works.

Even Microsoft Is Selling Linux

source : ZDNET


Dell has become the first PC maker to put its support behind Microsoft and Novell's effort to bridge the gap between Windows and Linux server computing.

The systems builder will buy certificates for Novell's SUSE Linux Enterprise Server operating system from Microsoft--certificates Microsoft had previously purchased from Novell under a pact signed in November 2006.

Dell will also launch a new marketing program to convince corporate Linux users who do not already use Dell's existing Linux (Red Hat) solutions to use Novell's operating system.

"Dell is the first major systems provider to align with Microsoft and Novell in this collaboration, and we intend to lead in this space," said Rick Becker, vice president of solutions at Dell Product Group, in a statement.

"This move is a huge success for the industry and, more specifically, for customers who haven't purchased Linux through Dell and who want to migrate to SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for the IP assurance and interoperability benefits."

Last week, Dell was applauded by the open source community after announcing that it would begin selling personal computers with the Ubuntu Linux operating system pre-installed. This week's deal, however, is not likely to prove as popular.

Microsoft and Novell's pact, signed late last year, has seen the two companies collaborate on making Microsoft's proprietary software and Novell's open source-based software work together.

Microsoft now recommends Novell's SUSE Linux Enterprise Server Operating System for customers that want to run a mix of Windows and Linux. Both vendors are working on virtualization technology to enable their operating systems to run in tandem as virtual machines on the same computer.

The two companies also guaranteed that they would not pursue each other over intellectual property disputes.

The Linux community has protested that the deal is Microsoft's way of asserting that the Linux operating system infringes on its intellectual property in some way.

Microsoft says it has sold over 40,000 new certificates for SUSE Linux Enterprise Server support in the first five months of the pact. Customers include AIG Technologies, Deutsche Bank, Credit Suisse, HSBC and Wal-Mart Stores.

Re: Few issues from E-life Tech...

Dear Steve,

Thanks for your email, I am sending this to blog because there's no sensitive data, and the questions you asked are very good questions. please see my response below:

On 5/4/07, Siew Steve <wpsiew@e-life.com.my> wrote:
Hi Wavelet,

1. Intranet - i cant upload image or media file into the article...

This article thing is a new function. Our engineer,  joseph@wavelet.biz is currently working on this module/function. If you need it fast, you can call Joseph every other day, then the attachments thing will be up real soon ;-)... his number is +60129860875....

2. can we have our email login box on wavelet page ?

It depends, what emails are you using? Squirrel Mail? Or GMail? or Microsoft Outlook? Where is it hosted?

3. RMA - RMA branch, y cant we hav more than 1 item for a single service note

We cannot add more than 1 item in each service note because they may have different problems, and one may be sent back to the suppliers, and the other one may not be sent back to the suppliers, if they are in the same service note, how can we set the status?

4. can we have a report like just listing all outlet's total sales n the total GP for each of the outlet, instead of the current Stock Sales report,coz it takes so long to generate.

There are several other sales report that you may be interested, please take a look here...  you may just find one that is suitable for you...
http://wavelet-technology.blogspot.com/2007/05/re-illustrations-of-sales-reports.html

5. Daily Receipt Summary for a full month is different with the total of stock sales report, why ?

Daily Receipt Summary will not be the same as stock sales report for the following reasons:
1) Stock sales report include all sales of stock (whether it is cashsale or credit sales with terms)
    Daily Receipt Summary include all COLLECTIONS.
    Since the meaning of collections are different from the meaning of sales, so naturally, there's no reason for sales=collection in real business, unless all (100%) of your sales are cashsales.
 2) Even if all your sales are cashsales, but when there's a sales return, the stock sales report will be reduced, but the daily receipt summary is not reduced. Because the Credit Memo from sales return may remain open credit, or customer may have requested for "refund". This "refund" is not captured inside the Daily Receipt Summary because when we pay money back to the customers, we issue payment vouchers. The original receipt is not cancelled because customer may have paid using credit card, which the money really went into the bank account, and when you refund back to the customers, you may be issuing cheque. In order to ensure the bank reconciliations and other places are properly reflecting the real transactions, those software that allow users to simply cancel a transaction will cause many other areas to be completely inaccurate...
3) Many other reasons... too long to explain everything ;-)...

Have a nice day ;-)

Vincent

all these reports are available under MANAGER -> SALES RELATED REPORT.
Thank you very much

Best regards,
Vincent
ps. I have also included the following in the manual... will be made available at http://help.wavelet.biz when i next publish it online.


Sales Reports

There are many reports in the Manager module, all reports here are specially design to help senior management of a company make informed decisions as well as serving as a dash board to have a high level overview of the performance of the business.

1. Daily Sales Report With Cash Flow Analysis

This report shows all sales transactions being done, and the collection associated with the sales (both credit sales and cashsales). Other collections like deposits and collection for previous sales are also included in this report. Users will find this report extremely informative to capture the entire performance of the business for a period of time. With detailed payment modes summarized in different columns, one will be able to know exactly the cash flow in relation to sales.

2. Gross Profit By Invoice Report

Sometimes, certain stocks within an invoice are sold below costs, but overall invoice is profitable. When managers look at the Stock Sales Report, which shows the profitability of each item being sold, it may results in too many false alarm. The Gross Profit by Invoice report solves this problem because it summarize the overall gross profit generated from each invoice, as well as sales return. It also show the sales return beside the invoice this particular invoice was subsequently reversed.

3. Stock Sales Report

Stock Sales Report provides senior management a very detailed transaction listing on all products sold and returned. The exact absolute gross profit and gross profit in percentage are generated for each of the invoice and sales return details.

4. Sales Item, CRV, Finance Charges Report

The cost of sales for each invoice item is not limited to the inventory cost (cost of goods sold). There are several other costs incurred, for example, if Cash Rebate Vouchers were given to customers based on each item, or if the customers pay using Easy Payment Scheme (IPP) where finance charges could be amounting to between 5% to 9%, which is pretty significant. While giving out sales commissions to the salesman, sometimes it makes sense to deduct these direct charges, and only pay out commissions based on gross profit calculated after deducting these finance charges etc.

5. Daily Invoice Summary

This report gives a very high level overview of all the invoices issued, summarized day by day, and also showing if any of these invoices are still outstanding. Management could use this report as a rough gauge of the business trend over a period of time (weeks or even months). A better report that includes Sales Report, and also provide a high level overview would be the Daily Sales Report with Inventory Category Grouping.

6. Official Receipt Listing

Sometimes, management would like to take a view at the details of the collections, all collections, from cashsales to deposit and payment for credit sales are listed here. With separate columns on cash, cheques, post dated cheques, credit cards etc, managers will be able to get a firm grasp of the cash flow for the company. User will be able to drill down to individual Official Receipt, and trace the invoices accordingly through the user friendly interface.

7. Daily Receipt Summary

This report is a condense version of Official Receipt Listing,  providing a high level overview of all cash flowing into the company within a range of dates.

8. Periodic Stock Balance and Movement Summary / Periodic Stock Balance and Movement By Category

This computationally intensive report shows the details movement of the stocks, from purchases to purchase return, sales to sales return, trade-in, stock transfer etc. The gross profit and cost of goods sold are also displayed here. It is an excellent report for store managers to have a very complete view of the entire flow of inventory items in the company, profitability of stocks, and giving out stock replenishment instructions optimally.

9. Monitor Outstanding Invoice

Monitoring customer credit is extremely important. This report consolidates outstanding invoices grouped by customer from various branches on a real time basis. All customer accounts that have exceeded credit limits or credit terms will be highlighted. Managers could suspend or black list these accounts to prevent further credit sales to these accounts to better control the credit risk.

10. Detailed Sales Record by Customer

An illustrations of the sales reports

Dear Eric and Mei Mei,

I just wrote the following specially for the 2 of you.
You can use the following for:
1) training the new customers
2) has more things to say when doing Wavelet Demo (so you may need to memorize some bullet points inside).
all these reports are available under MANAGER -> SALES RELATED REPORT.
Thank you very much

Best regards,
Vincent
ps. I have also included the following in the manual... will be made available at http://help.wavelet.biz when i next publish it online.


Sales Reports

There are many reports in the Manager module, all reports here are specially design to help senior management of a company make informed decisions as well as serving as a dash board to have a high level overview of the performance of the business.

1. Daily Sales Report With Cash Flow Analysis

This report shows all sales transactions being done, and the collection associated with the sales (both credit sales and cashsales). Other collections like deposits and collection for previous sales are also included in this report. Users will find this report extremely informative to capture the entire performance of the business for a period of time. With detailed payment modes summarized in different columns, one will be able to know exactly the cash flow in relation to sales.

2. Gross Profit By Invoice Report

Sometimes, certain stocks within an invoice are sold below costs, but overall invoice is profitable. When managers look at the Stock Sales Report, which shows the profitability of each item being sold, it may results in too many false alarm. The Gross Profit by Invoice report solves this problem because it summarize the overall gross profit generated from each invoice, as well as sales return. It also show the sales return beside the invoice this particular invoice was subsequently reversed.

3. Stock Sales Report

Stock Sales Report provides senior management a very detailed transaction listing on all products sold and returned. The exact absolute gross profit and gross profit in percentage are generated for each of the invoice and sales return details.

4. Sales Item, CRV, Finance Charges Report

The cost of sales for each invoice item is not limited to the inventory cost (cost of goods sold). There are several other costs incurred, for example, if Cash Rebate Vouchers were given to customers based on each item, or if the customers pay using Easy Payment Scheme (IPP) where finance charges could be amounting to between 5% to 9%, which is pretty significant. While giving out sales commissions to the salesman, sometimes it makes sense to deduct these direct charges, and only pay out commissions based on gross profit calculated after deducting these finance charges etc.

5. Daily Invoice Summary

This report gives a very high level overview of all the invoices issued, summarized day by day, and also showing if any of these invoices are still outstanding. Management could use this report as a rough gauge of the business trend over a period of time (weeks or even months). A better report that includes Sales Report, and also provide a high level overview would be the Daily Sales Report with Inventory Category Grouping.

6. Official Receipt Listing

Sometimes, management would like to take a view at the details of the collections, all collections, from cashsales to deposit and payment for credit sales are listed here. With separate columns on cash, cheques, post dated cheques, credit cards etc, managers will be able to get a firm grasp of the cash flow for the company. User will be able to drill down to individual Official Receipt, and trace the invoices accordingly through the user friendly interface.

7. Daily Receipt Summary

This report is a condense version of Official Receipt Listing,  providing a high level overview of all cash flowing into the company within a range of dates.

8. Periodic Stock Balance and Movement Summary / Periodic Stock Balance and Movement By Category

This computationally intensive report shows the details movement of the stocks, from purchases to purchase return, sales to sales return, trade-in, stock transfer etc. The gross profit and cost of goods sold are also displayed here. It is an excellent report for store managers to have a very complete view of the entire flow of inventory items in the company, profitability of stocks, and giving out stock replenishment instructions optimally.

9. Monitor Outstanding Invoice

Monitoring customer credit is extremely important. This report consolidates outstanding invoices grouped by customer from various branches on a real time basis. All customer accounts that have exceeded credit limits or credit terms will be highlighted. Managers could suspend or black list these accounts to prevent further credit sales to these accounts to better control the credit risk.
