The network equipment manufacturer will launch in April a new partner program to help resellers better market its software. This initiative reflects the commitment of Cisco released its supplier status only facing material.
According to our American colleagues CRN, Cisco partners will benefit from the next summit that he organized in April 2015 in Montreal to launch a new reseller program specifically turned to its software. Quoted in the article by CRN, Bruce Klein, the head of the world channel in the OEM, indicates that the device is currently in a pilot phase.
The aim of Cisco is not only to provide its distribution network a framework within which it will benefit from training and financial benefits associated with the marketing of ACI (Application-Centric Infrastructure), its platform SDN. The device will also cover the applications that the vendor has brought this year as a result of redemptions catalog companies like JouleX and Composite Sofware. Besides the new partner program will also provide resellers with resources around Cisco ONE that can make flexible and customizable network equipment manufacturer.
Change Partners cycle software sales
Run the new partner program is an obligation to enable Cisco partners to integrate into the sales cycle of the software market. This is totally different from that followed for the sale of products such as routers, switches and other networking products effect. Bruce Klein, the sales cycle software following four phases: the deed itself, the verification of the effective use of technology by customers, increasing the number of licenses they bought and finally the renewal of these licenses.
The launch of the new partner program is part of Cisco’s strategy to get him out of his status as a supplier only facing materials to better adapt to underlying trends of cloud computing and SDN. This will also materialize this summer with the launch of DevNet. This service allows developers to access APIs thousands of Cisco and the SDK to create applications that will work especially on AIT. Similarly, the supplier will launch its new model in 2015 selling Cisco ONE Software licenses. So far, the acquisition of Cisco software is included with the purchase of equipment. Cisco ONE Software will change the way differentiating the purchase of both. The application revolution is a reality internally to the equipment 80 to 85% of engineers are now focused on its software business.
Bouygues Immobilier and Steria have signed a partnership agreement on joint marketing Si @ go, the software for energy management in commercial buildings.
This new version (V2) If @ go offers, indeed, the possibility of establishing an energy dashboard and cost of a building (with measurements expressed in kWh or €), while controlling the temperature accurately and ensuring continuous monitoring of the air quality.
“ This partnership with Steria for marketing Si @ go carries new developments for the deployment of a new generation of new commercial buildings or renovated positive energy says Eric Mazoyer, Deputy CEO of Bouygues Immobilier. It reinforces our pioneering role in energy efficiency throughout the building and the neighborhood level “.
Remember that this software was originally developed for Green Office Meudon, the seat of Steria and the first commercial building of France meets international standards with positive energy.
For businesses, it is time to rationalize the fleet software licenses. This is the conclusion of an IDC study conducted for solutions vendor Flexera Software License Management. Based on the responses of 430 user companies in the world, the survey shows that nearly two-thirds of them believe that their software budget will stagnate or regress over the next two years. They are 37% believe it will improve.
To address these constraints, Flexera advanced towards the ‘shelfware’, ie software purchased but not deployed. 96% of respondents recognize that much of their budget is squandered on unused licenses. 39% of them, this share is even higher than 21% of total software budget.
The paradox? At the same time, other parts of the software park, a large part of its business beyond use rights, exposing themselves to adjustments during audits by publishers. According to IDC, 85% of organizations do not meet the terms of their license agreements . A situation obviously risky because large publishers multiply the audits (63% of audited over the last 18 to 24 months companies) and adjustment invoices are salty (one in two has paid penalties in the last two years, in 21% of cases, the pain was more than a million dollars). Moreover, the audit itself is likely to feed the shelfware: publishers taking advantage of the audit findings to place new licenses (in exchange for cancellation of the invoice regularization), business licenses n have not necessarily need right away.
In this situation, buyers are trying to find more efficient models. IDC notes and sharp decline of the dominant model, the perpetual license (resulting in a high cost of entry, against a right of permanent use). Only 45% of companies now use this model explains over 50% of their licenses. IDC, the rate will drop to 36% within 12 to 24 months. The decay of this model is due to the rise of licenses paid either as a subscription (Saas but also for software typically installed on site), or as pay-as (features used, time spent in the application, volume of data …). 24% of companies already prefer the subscription for more than 50% of their software assets. 17% of organizations, it is the model for use dominates. According to IDC, these two types of licenses are expected to grow at 12 to 24 months. Flexera also notes that flexible licensing models becomes “ competitive advantage ” for software

Discovering Adapps on display, there is a host and a nice navigation page, and key features -. But essential for him to help lawyers manage their records software
But, and this is in our opinion the main point here, the advantage of new software is that from contemporary prerequisites, and in the case of Adapps on the fact that emails and more generally information incoming cabinet are central to the activities of lawyers now, like document sharing (email or scans, for example) or alerts on legal information, specialized newsletters or messages to phone calls. This software is built around the incoming information flows. And every day, it seems implacable logic.
The window inflow, synthesis of information coming to the lawyer.
“inflow” is well integrated throughout the software and information can be integrated into the functionality of the software. For example an email is sharable, you can assign a task or an alert, assign it to a file … in one click.
Adapps naturally certified VAR (difficult to enter 2014). The emails RPVA become real emails (they also incorporate this “inflow”) traceable to records, shareable, searchable then unconnected mode. Emails can be prepared without connection to the VAR and sent later, or worked on several collaboratively before sending.
Another positive and contemporary, Tabbed operation, that is to say that one can easily view multiple screens at the same time without leaving the current job.
The “Contacts” is developed enough (material Full Contact course but also labor and paper-related contact, historic, open invoices, contacts between contacts …). Almost a CRM [1] .
Many other basic functions for the law firm are available (financial, time management, calendar, calls telephone, bibles cabinet, briefcases, folders, ebarreau …)
is exportable, including financial and past time. The reporting is done then an external software and the editor offers pre-configured states.
The publisher has chosen as often for this type of online software, a billing and subscription the user and not by computer station. Adapps can either be hosted by Adwin (in France, in OVH) or hosted on a server in the office (but in this case requires a facility for secure access and data).
This first version is promising, and further additions will come undoubtedly updates facilitated by the “SaaS” mode (remotely hosted).
Do you dream of exploring the solar system, but you do not have the means to offer a spaceship? This is now possible thanks to the “Eyes on the Solar System”, a free software available to the public by NASA. Presented in this video by engineer Jon Nguyen, this freeware will let you wander in real time in the middle of the moons and asteroids that orbit our Sun. Takeoff in 3, 2, 1 …
Fascinated by astronomy since his childhood, Jon Nguyen realized his dream by getting a degree from the prestigious University of Los Angeles UCLA before joining NASA. With his team, he has developed software to observe a 3D visualization of the solar system in real time. Easy to use software called “Eyes on the Solar System” (Look at Solar System) provides an interface similar to Google Earth and can observe most major satellites around the Earth and the Sun. You can download it from the website of NASA.
For the sake of visual clarity, military satellites , weather satellites, communication satellites and reconnaissance satellites will not be posted. Most other devices have 3D models that you can observe in detail with a simple double-click. Thus, by selecting the International Space Station, you can watch live his wanderings. It is also possible to control the time and go back to see what it’s like for example a sunset bort the ISS, or go in the future to review the forecast. The software is provided as data and integrates data from 1950 to 2050, which will travel through time and more space!
The Home button to navigate to the center of the solar system and observe the other planets. We can see that the traffic around Saturn, Jupiter and Mars is actually quite intense. Indeed, the main activity is now NASA robotic exploration instead of spaceships. “Even if NASA does not send humans into space at the moment, she is not dead. One of the reasons why we have made a program like this is that people are aware of what we do every day, “explains Jon to explain motivations that led the agency to release this software. The scientist also said that his personal dream is that children can get hold of this program to explore and enjoy the wonders of space. Jon Nguyen also hopes to encourage vocations like he had younger so continues the dream of space exploration through the generations.
Eyes on the Solar System is an excellent initiative NASA . By publishing its data, the agency will delight fans of science fiction and exploration while fostering vocations among younger and broader knowledge of our universe. In writing, we salute all the action that awakens the astronaut in all of us. As for you, would you like to discover the secrets of our solar system
In the comedy club Teatreneu in Barcelona, a shelf at the back of each seat tracks the expressions of the audience. Each detected laughter is charged 30 cents, with a maximum of 24 euros – equivalent to 80 laughs per show – to protect big laughing.
The management of this small theater developed this system to fight against a decline in attendance due to a tax on the Spanish government shows.
The facial recognition system has been set up by the advertising agency McCann The Cyranos with the slogan: “you only pay for what you use .” The Spanish press loved it, and many people have soudaiement wanted to go see stand-up. In addition, c ike it is unpleasant to remember to laugh in a comedy club, the average ticket price rose 6 euros. So far, investment in tablets has been beneficial for Teatreneu, and other clubs are trying to copy this device.
Once finished sketches, each Viewers can watch the tablet and know exactly how many times he laughed (or smiled), compare results with friends, and even share their score on social networks: “ Tonight I laughed 22 times and it cost me 6.6 euros! “.
A centralized computer lets you know exactly how much of a show generates laughs, which could be used to collect interesting data: who is the biggest laughing? what is their profile? who never laughs? for the same show, there he has big differences in the number of laughs as the evenings?
It is not known if the comedians have access to those numbers, but it is probably healthier to not allow them to see the statistics.
Especially since l e software is not sophisticated enough to distinguish between several types of laughter: and a simple smile, a little ha ha warm and uncontrollable laughter are all accounted for (and apply) the same, it seems inherently unfair.
Developed by researchers at the University of Saskatchewan software is currently used to control the outbreak of Ebola.
The PIIKA software, an acronym for Integrated Platform for Intelligent Analysis Kinome, was created by Brett Trost, a graduate computer science program at the University, and his supervisor, Anthony Kusalik.
The software is now used by a national center for health research in Maryland to study how Ebola virus infects cells and how they fight infection.
Another graduate of the University of Saskatchewan, Jason Kindrachuk, currently working with PIIKA in the laboratory of Maryland. “The software itself has really facilitated the work of about 100 graduate students who are trying to analyze data and who can do it in seconds or minutes. ”
Jason Kindrachuk explains that this software will help to develop drugs to reverse the cellular changes caused by the Ebola virus.
An agreement has been signed between the vocational section of the school and the company Brocéliance Linuscule for the use of professional software Waplanner as a teaching aid.
“This software allows the simulation of transport operations and planning tours explains Jean-François Audren, leader of Linuscule. It is particularly suitable for young people, because it allows them to communicate with each other. “
The interest in high school sections in transport and logistics is twofold. With Manning, the school offers high school students “real software that develops in companies in France and Europe.”
“This is a working tool that they meet in the business,” said Marie Lavollée, head of research.

You already know that it is essential to support your child in front of a computer but want to look up a few minutes of the screen, just to put the pasta cooking? You need a parental control software. What are the best solutions? The AV-Comparative organization has tested and here is his selection.
Parental control does not replace parents
As an antivirus does not prevent all software adverse move, the parental control software is not foolproof. The presence of a parent is the best solution to address the risks that your child or teen falls to inappropriate content or abuse of computers.
On the other hand, in addition to configuration and various settings based the age of the children, parents must ensure that it does not circumvent the protections put in place and they are adapted and evolve depending on the capabilities of the child. Too soft setting will not prevent abuses, as well as setting too strict hinder the young user may use other means to perform a task or access content: bypassing the protection, use of computer school or with friends, connecting from other unsupervised like smartphones and tablet devices.
Finally, parental control software will restrict the possibilities but will not say why they are inappropriate. Again it is the adult who will explain the reasons for blockages or supervision, whether at the level of operating schedules or type of blocked content: internet adult content, violent or addictive games etc …
Making your choice: efficiency in question
You will see that finding the best parental control software is not an easy task. The best software we have decided to highlight are those that block the most harmful content for children and are available in French. However, these also have a defect: they also block legitimate content
With the summary table, you will see all the solutions tested.. Your choice may be based antivirus solutions you already use and in this case, use the lists of permissions such software by allowing or blocking the sites manually can be a satisfactory solution will be. Again, install a parental control software without support would be a mistake.
For Windows
The following software is compatible with Windows systems and are available in French. The best are chosen for their detection rates and their false positive rate, ie the sites detected as dangerous as they are harmless.
Microsoft Family Safety
Microsoft first roundup in the standings. Not only its detection rate during testing has been no fault (100%) but the false alarm rate is below that proposed in those top rankings. On the other hand, as we saw in the tutorial on how to enable parental control Windows 8 and 8.1, setup is easy and well integrated into the system.
Microsoft Family Safety is free, he moved on Windows Vista, 7 and 8 and will block access to the computer depending on the day, time and time spent each day systems. Blocking sites can be done manually or automatically as with the use of games and applications.
Norton Family
Good detection rate and comprehensive features characterize the proposed solution by Norton. It limits the time spent on the computer and provides navigation filters according to the themes and the age of the child. It also helps to establish green or red lists of websites.
Norton offers its product free version for all Windows systems and paid versions “Premier” with additional features for Android, which can be interesting if you have a mobile in this system. For them it will cost 40 euros.
ESET Smart Security
The proposed by antivirus solutions for control detection rate parenting is very good, especially with regard to pornography. Its false positive rate is also very acceptable. It may be a good solution if you are a regular customer for security solutions (ESET Smart Security or ESET Multi-Device Security).
The software, however, not possible to limit the usage time and simply filter web content. Despite this, it has the advantage of being compatible with all versions of Windows since XP. Regarding the price, count from 40 to 50 euros depending on the dealer to equip three different computers for a year.
Other parental control software for Windows: comparative
We would have liked other examples of parental control software, and some could be in the list. AVG for example, offers an attractive rate of detection but encounter compatibility issues with Windows 8 and Internet Explorer 11 Others present in the list and if their detection rate regarding pornography is very good, they block less of other types of harmful content: tobacco, alcohol, weapons, etc … But if you decide to draw yourself a green list of sites, they will be effective
AV-Comparative has found some very interesting software. but not all are available in French. To have an accurate view the full report is available online (PDF, English). Simply an array of global comparison for Windows is available. You can also view the proposed Filtra.info ranking.
Tablet and smartphones
The same table ranks this time the solutions for tablets and smartphones. This is not a detail because if the children are wise at home at the computer and they have an uncapped phone, they have access to harmful content in this way, they do not hesitate to if one believes the investigation by the magazine “Special Envoy” aired on October 9, 2014 France 2
Conclusion: assisting in all cases
The best parental control software are unfortunately those that also block more legitimate content. As explained in the introduction, the adult must be present to explain as much as possible and if necessary unlock the content in each case.
If the choice is more flexible, but software that lets content at risk a parent, in addition to its regular monitoring, will instead choose to establish itself a green list. It will also regularly check the browsing history to detect potentially problematic content without hiding this for subsequent review of the child.
Do not hesitate to ask for advice on software and means for out the parental controls on our support forums.
At his hearing before the European Parliament , Estonian Andrus Ansip, who should be appointed as the “digital single market”, defended the free software. “The European Commission should promote the use of open source. This will create jobs in Europe, “ he said.
A study of EY and Syntec Numérique, the French software vendors continue to grow: they created nearly 5,800 jobs in 2013 and 10,000 in the last two years. This trend should continue in 2015 … provided that the claimed talents are available in the market.
French software development continues unabated. According to the 2014 edition of the Top 250 survey, conducted by EY (formerly Ernst & amp; Young) cabinet and Syntec Numérique of the 250 biggest publishers, the industry continues to ignore the crisis with a jump of 6% turnover of 9 billion euros in 2013 over two years, growth was 20%. And forecasts point to an increase of 7% in 2015.
Our File: Who hires the digital
?
Mobile, Big Data and Cloud are driving
Franck Sebag, a partner at EY says that momentum by the development of mobile, big data or cloud computing. Sales of software as a service (Saas Software as a service) account for 17% of turnover in 2013, against 11% in 2012 still a low figure is explained by the reluctance of companies to adopt this model Consumer software. Progress in this field is slower than expected. “In four years, we went from about 100 million in revenue in Saas 1.5 billion, Vanryb recalls Bruno, president and publisher Avanquest Software president of software college Syntec Numérique. This is huge. I know of no other human activities that can do the same. “
The sector also continues to hire. According to the study, its numbers have swelled to nearly 5,800 people in 2013 in two years, nearly 10 000 jobs have been created. The analysis, however, does not specify how much in France. These figures include jobs created abroad. The trend is expected to continue in 2015, with 75% of respondents planning to hire again.
The shortage of talent is a drag
The only problem? The talent shortage could hinder this development. “The war for talent is in full swing, says Franck Sebag. Publishers are struggling to recruit experts from Big Data or profile dual technical-marketing skills” . Intersec, publisher of data analysis software for telecom operators, has hired 40 people this year out of a total of 180 Scality today, software vendor cloud storage, recruited thirty people on a staff of 100 The two companies say experience the greatest difficulty in finding the desired profiles. The risk, according to Bruno Vanryb, is to see the French publishers forced to grow outside of France, where the skills are abundant.

The French software offers a great resilience to the current slump. According to the fourth edition of the Top 250 Digital Syntec which covers a range of more than 350 French software vendors, the consolidated turnover of $ 9.2 billion in 2013, up 6%. Certainly growth is half that of last year, but remains strong in a weak economy. “ The software has become a heavyweight in the French economy,” can rejoice Vanryb Bruno, president of publishers Syntec Numérique. For 2014, the forecast is for 7% growth.
The French market is extremely concentrated. Three-quarters of revenues are generated by 7% of publishers. Conversely, actors whose turnover is less than € 10 million – or the majority of the market – do not realize that 4% of overall turnover. Past the 50 million, few publishers that are not redeemed.
These publishers are creators of both software and jobs. With more than 10,000 jobs in two years, the sector’s workforce totaled 107,437 assets. “ These new jobs based on the declarative and not all are based in France,” tempers Franck Sebag, a partner at EY, author of the study. And hiring intentions are rosy. Three out of four editors consider bringing in 2014 and overwhelmingly developers (68% of the desired profiles.)
Innovation and international, both engines of growth
<- inline image block:! picture forced dé ea 190px wide -> <- / picture box ->
The 2013 edition was pointing a small international actors, things work out. Whatever the size of the publisher, from abroad in sales increases. Lower among smaller players, it reaches 50% for companies in excess of 100 million euros in revenue.
The other engine of growth, c is of course innovation. French publishers spend nearly 15% of their turnover on research and development. And the R & amp; D are largely based in France (75% of the sample). Support for this innovative effort, the success of research tax credit can not be denied. Nearly 79% surveyed reported using interlocutors. This led in 34% of cases … a tax audit. Last year, Syntec Numérique was moved by this zeal of the tax administration would have called into question the very existence of some startups.
As regards the economic model even publishers, SaaS further breakthrough. The share of sales related to online software is 17% against 11% in 2012 and 8% in 2011 This type of distribution is dominated by a young publishers (less than 50 M € turnover) SaaS native born.
Skip license to this subscription, in fact, a sudden shock for publishers already installed. To assist with this mutation, Syntec Numérique a bid for funding called “Money Saas” which seeks to pre-finance the transition from bachelor to SaaS to restore color to their cash. On the technological priorities, publishers cite – unsurprisingly -. Cloud and SaaS (81% of responses), mobility (73%), security (47%) and big data (31%)
Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise enters the top three
Regarding the classification itself, we note some small changes in the hierarchy. If DS and Ubisoft largely dominated the ranking, Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise goes directly to third. A quick visit. The business division of the OEM, combining hardware and software, will release the rankings since the next year was recently sold to China Huaxin. Note also the entries in the top 20 of Neopost (12th) and Bull (19th) each develop a significant software business

The satellite positioning system made in Europe still lagging behind with the failure of the in-orbit of two satellites last August. The first phase of the launch were apparently conducted without mishap, but the two satellites have not reached an orbit consistent with the flight plan.
missing the plate, the satellites will be many months effective in terms of accuracy. One wonders if they will be operational one day. Worse, they are not designed to catch a Such trajectory error, the fault too low reserves fuel.
This is So consternation side Arianespace and Commission European: remember that the project (first private and public) was launched at the beginning of 2000 and should be operational in 2014 … Nearly 4 billion euros have already been spent for a total cost estimated at 10 billion euros.
Mount error
Now it is time to account. “The studies and analysis of data continuing in collaboration with Russian partners program Soyuz in French Guiana as well as the ESA and its industrial partners, explained Arianespace has launched in association with ESA and Commission an independent commission of inquiry.
Objective : Define the precise causes of this major “anomaly”. And the initial responses fall. It is therefore not a problem software, but a hardware fault. Specifically, the problem is the gel fuel in a poorly designed pipe in the launcher Russian Soyuz that powers the engine of the upper stage.
In practice, engineers NPO Lavochkin Nont ignored cooling significant in certain circumstances caused by helium lines (very low temperature) installed too close to the fuel lines.
“This is not a human error. This is a gap in the design. we know what to do to correct very quickly. This allows considering a return to flight Soyuz from French Guiana in the month of December, “said AFP Stéphane Israel, CEO of Arianespace.
” It is therefore not an assembly error in NPO Lavochkin workshops, but a problem heat that had not been detected in the design, “he says.
It is not tomorrow that Galileo will be able to compete with the ultra-dominant American GPS. I must say that … the story of Galileo long like a long river strewn with pitfalls.
Original purpose: a system launch in 2008 …
In 2005, an industrial consortium (the French Thales and Alcatel-Lucent, Spanish Hispasat, Inmarsat UK, the AENA and Finmeccanica Italian and a German conglomerate run Deutsche Telekom and European Aeronautic, Defence & amp; Space Co) ally to the public sector had received the green light to start the project.
The difficulties of forming consortium an entity to oversee the project and choose for it a CEO have blocked talks between industry and the EU officials. Sticking point: the terms of the concession of twenty who were to be given to exploit Galileo.
Production then refused to take any financial risk at maturity that was scheduled for May 10, 2007 by Transport Ministers of the Twenty-September
Faced with these obstacles, the European Commission announced in 2008 its intention to withdraw the construction contract to consortium of companies to which it has given the benefit of a full public funding.
Twenty-Seven decided that public money would fund satellite infrastructure at a cost of 3.4 billion euros, be another 2.4 billion from one billion euros already injected a total cost ranging operation, 10000000000 euros.
In early 2010, the European Commission awarded three markets in three European industrial finally kick whistling Sending this program. German OHB System was chosen to provide the first 14 satellites worth 566 million euros. The French EADS Astrium, was removed which is a heavy defeat … But we promised the industry a framework agreement for a future rounds of satellites.
Meanwhile, the Italian ThalesAleniaSpace won the contract for the support services for the Galileo system worth 85 million euros. Finally, Arianespace will be responsible for the set orbit through five Soyuz launchers, each carrying two satellites.
To be fair Soyuz was preferred to Ariane for reasons economy. Some now regret that choice.
The satellite positioning system made in Europe still lagging behind with the failure of the in-orbit of two satellites last August. The first phase of the launch were apparently conducted without mishap, but the two satellites have not reached an orbit consistent with the flight plan.
missing the plate, the satellites will be many months effective in terms of accuracy. One wonders if they will be operational one day. Worse, they are not designed to catch a Such trajectory error, the fault too low reserves fuel.
This is So consternation side Arianespace and Commission European: remember that the project (first private and public) was launched at the beginning of 2000 and should be operational in 2014 … Nearly 4 billion euros have already been spent for a total cost estimated at 10 billion euros.
Mount error
Now it is time to account. “The studies and analysis of data continuing in collaboration with Russian partners program Soyuz in French Guiana as well as the ESA and its industrial partners, explained Arianespace has launched in association with ESA and Commission an independent commission of inquiry.
Objective : Define the precise causes of this major “anomaly”. And the initial responses fall. It is therefore not a problem software, but a hardware fault. Specifically, the problem is the gel fuel in a poorly designed pipe in the launcher Russian Soyuz that powers the engine of the upper stage.
In practice, engineers NPO Lavochkin Nont ignored cooling significant in certain circumstances caused by helium lines (very low temperature) installed too close to the fuel lines.
“This is not a human error. This is a gap in the design. we know what to do to correct very quickly. This allows considering a return to flight Soyuz from French Guiana in the month of December, “said AFP Stéphane Israel, CEO of Arianespace.
” It is therefore not an assembly error in NPO Lavochkin workshops, but a problem heat that had not been detected in the design, “he says.
It is not tomorrow that Galileo will be able to compete with the ultra-dominant American GPS. …
The “Coach Assistant” software created by Phillippe Ollier aims to make life easier for the amateur coach not necessarily keen on computers or phones, which must balance football, family and work for .. Photo DR / Regis Hazenfus
Designed by former Briochin, Vannes and Pontivyen Philippe Ollier, the “Assistant Coach” software wants to be a reference tool for coaches football fans eager to integrate statistical methods in their management. And for now, it’s totally free!
Goodbye Excel spreadsheets aging. Farewell spiral notebooks scribbled everywhere. Here “Coach Assistant”, the new free software that comes your life easier. Attendance in training, yields in each game, the opponent characteristics, comparative figures … since its launch on August 7, the web platform no end to convince football coaches. “We spent thousand of registered after only 38 days of operation and not even begin to promote it. Today there are more than 30 entries per day. We should reach the threshold of 2,500 or 3,000 at the end of the month. All this simply through word of mouth, “enthuses” Chip “Ollier.
” By and for the coaches, “
Trump Assistant Coach? It is easy to access and use, fits any media (computers, tablets …), addresses the men and women’s soccer at 5, 8 or 11, also in Futsal. “It was created by trainers and coaches,” insists the former midfielder, passed by the D2 box when he moved to Briochin Stadium. The idea was the brainchild of Philippe Ollier there are eight years old when he began training on the side of Arcachon, with Jean-Pierre Papin. “Like everyone, I filled my little Excel file. And then, I wanted to incorporate more data: Net occasions during the game, the shots on goal or not … I ended up talking to developers and we realized that we could go much further. “His own experience laid the foundation of the software. Became coach in Gradignan DH, CFA and CFA 2, then he applied the fifteen other club coaches to help enrich the said software. “Everyone brought his small improvements. “
huge Evolutions
Until an investor is convinced of the enormous potential of the project. “The Assistant Coach Ltd was born in 2013 and as our investor is not a” venture capitalist “, it put us any financial pressure on his shoulders. “That is why the software is still free when its competitors are paying. “Future developments are enormous, says Philippe Ollier. We will be able to offer comprehensive training and not just worksheets, integrate athletic preparation, provide medical pages … There will also send SMS followed, that is to say that the coach will if his players received or not his message, mailings mails grouped or individual, details of the physiological each player … “endless data will still only one goal: to make life easier for the amateur coach not necessarily keen on computers or phones, which must balance football, family and work. “The more you help, the more the software will be his assistant coach, exactly. “ Website: www.coach-adjoint.com
In addition
Antony Gauvin: “An essential tool”
Former player including Lorient and Brest, Antony Gauvin ( 40) begins his fifth season at the helm of Fontenay-le-Comte (CFA) after being the defender and assistant coach for two years. Tester Assistant Coach last year, he became a firm believer.
Why did you adopt Assistant Coach? Like many coaches, I work side since I am responsible for sports facilities to the town of Fontenay. The software is an essential time saver: I use during my lunch break to manage your workforce, prepare my sessions and the upcoming game.
What interests do you think? Specifically, during the game, my assistant notes everything about the set pieces, the centers, or not framed shots, scoring chances … And for both teams. At home, I also have two leaders who, with their watches, calculates the possession of each course and pass every quarter of an hour my assistant. All these data, I use the half, before I speak to the players. Then, after each meeting, I fill the software.
Players have access to this data? I will notify them that if they come to me. Everything is on my shelf. Often, when we play outside, they throw a glance on the bus home. They look at their playing time, their personal stats … Today, I think computer skills is essential. For example, when a player is down, I know exactly the nature of his injury, he spent exams. Late in the season, when the interview, I have before me all his stats: the number of drives made, games played, successful passes, shots on target, his scoring opportunities … are obviously the data on which I rely.
The numbers tell the story
Philippe Ollier (41) knows from experience the benefits of statistics. “When a player plays less than another, it is answered by the figures and avoid the conflict. This is also an opportunity to establish performance targets, to help him get better, “explains for example, the former professional.
“disrupt my thinking”
Some figures may also directly influence tactics, even shake the first logic. “I remember a game in Nîmes with Villenave in CFA 2, he said. We had a big first half but without finding a way to goal. Early in the second, one is pushed, they push hard and I decided to send a defensive midfielder to heating. Logic dictates that I may go back, but it’s that time that I thought the software. I noticed that this team, when it attacked a lot, also took a lot of goals. So, I did get two offensive players instead of 6 and 8 for the expected lower and counter them. In the process, we scored three times! “Of course, the software will never replace the instinct of the coach, but in this case,” he disrupted my thinking and that’s it for the purpose. ” Unconsciously, he also pushes the amateur technician to go flush out every detail, to become more organized, to push the threshold requirement. And, no doubt, to take more pleasure in everyday life.
The French software solution market is valued at EUR 10.6 billion (2014) by Pierre Audoin Consultants firm. And it should continue to grow, with an estimated 3% over the 2014-2018 growth.
“Well even though we experienced higher growth rates “said Franck Nassah, vice president of operations for CAP France. Large segments, maturity and market size, will experience growth rates below 1%.
3% average growth from 2014 to 2018
vertical applications business, “should be a trend rather than 1.5%. The BI market, as for a number of years, is still growing rapidly, averaging 6.5%. This market is driven by the need for data management and advanced analytical tools “still observes the firm.
New confirmation from the side of SaaS, a means of distributing the software remains dynamic. “This is not a scoop but SaaS will have a growth of approximately 26.5% over the period [Editor's note: 2014-2018]” and says Franck Nassah. In 2018, SaaS expected to account for 10% of the French software market estimated PAC.
All this they draw a return to “sustainable growth”? After 2013 halftone (1.2%), the French software market is expected to grow 2.6% this year and 3.2% in 2015
Services worn by outsourcing infrastructure
“The market has seen a real rebound after 2015 and is expected to stabilize at around 3% growth,” notes the French firm. In terms of IT services, the forecasts are – and this is not new in France -. Less dynamic (about 2%), despite the strong increase in outsourcing of infrastructure (3.3%) and IT consulting, driven particularly by developing cloud and “digital.”
