A Community Resource for Users and Developers of Achievo and ATK

	Achievo is an extensible web-based resource management application for business environments. Achievo enables organizations to support their business processes simply and effectively. Achievo includes a rich set of core modules, and supports Add-On modules for new functionality. Achievo was developed by iBuildings and is free software, licensed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2.
	ATK (the Achievo ToolKit), is an object-oriented full-stack PHP framework for developing business-oriented web applications, such as HRM, CRM, data management and CMS type applications. ATK allows developers to focus on business logic, instead of coding HTML and CSS. Achievo was developed using ATK, and while ATK is used to develop Achievo Add-On modules, it can also be used to develop entirely new applications on its own. ATK was developed by iBuildings and is free software, licensed under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.
