October has been so intense that we do not find nearly the time for keeping the company blog.

To summarize some of the news concerning the presence of Synthesis Study on the Web:

  • A new version is online, completely renewed, our corporate website
  • Also this blog has acquired a new domain (the traditional studiosynthesis.wordpress.com was given a nice www.synthesisblog.com (and there are new graphics coming soon)
  • We spent a long time - and we have removed the pleasant satisfaction - to manage, Brentari with professor and students in his class of systems for CRM (Faculty of Economics, UNIBS), www.corsodicrm.org , a blog theme, the CRM, always hosted here at WP. Almost 200 posts in 40 days. Whoa.
  • we will soon be online with our vertical portals on CRM solutions (based on vtiger) and BI (based on Pentaho)

We obviously worked a lot even off the web. We like to remember:

  • The three seminars organized together with the Department of Quantitative Methods, University of Brescia,
  • formalizing the partnership with the Belgian company Kjube for the realization of projects of open source Business Intelligence,
  • the adaptation of numerous companies to legislation on occupational safety (81/2008)
  • participation ConnectingDay of Verona,
  • the creation of websites for prestigious clients (including Gexcel Ltd.).

We grow. And we want to do with you.
