Anticipate changes of information businesses (1)

"Consumerization of IT '
Between 1980 and 1995, the tools available to their employees by the companies were, in most cases, more advanced than they had at home.
This shift is reversed, there are about fifteen years, with the launch of the Web since 1995.
Since the early 2000s, this movement is accelerated, and today the majority of people in their homes and with them the tools more efficient than those they are pushing the door of their office .
IT Consumerization
Instead of complaining about this situation, I suggest instead of "positivity" and use it as an easy way to anticipate what will be the technologies that will be deployed in companies.
In computer science, as in many other areas, the rate of introduction of an innovation follows the famous bell curve, with the five categories of users:
- The innovators: they are on the lookout for anything new and accept the imperfections of the original tools. They are able to line up at an Apple store for 24 hours to be the first to buy a iPhone5 iPad2 or tablet. They are fewer in front of a shop that sales the latest Windows Phone!
- Early adopters: they do not hesitate to choose an emerging technology, even if still imperfect, in beta version.
Technology adoption curve
- Most original: convinced by the early adopters, they will find normal to deploy tools that have already proven themselves.
- The late majority, they adopt a technology when over half the market will already be equipped and it will become difficult to justify its rejection.
- The laggards, they are a glory of being the last to adopt new tools.
The assumption made in this paper is that there is a significant gap between the Gaussian curves consumer and professional.

NY times - McCain Analogist
The challenge is to assess, tool by tool, use by use, the delay between these two curves: 1 year, 3 years, 5 years or more?
These Gaussian curves are too often used only to anticipate the arrival of new tools. They have, in my opinion, a role at least as important to predict ... abandonment of existing tools.This last point is crucial in the business, given the difficulty they have to give a solution installed, stable and well-controlled in-house.
Let's look at each of these two cases.

Anticipating the arrival of new technologies
Anticiper ?
This project into the future, it is the most exciting part of a technology watch, especially in the computer world!
Mobile workstations, high-speed LTE networks, servers in the cloud, enterprise social networking, SaaS ... We live in a great time in terms of innovation.
I am pleased that the delay between the arrival of a new technology in the public and the business tends to be reduced.
I will take one example, 18 months after the arrival of the iPad on the market and its spectacular success in the general public, the largest airline in the world, United Airlines, has decided to equip 11 000 drivers iPad, to replace a briefcase containing 17 kg of documents.

Anticipating the death of existing technologies
Become "undertaker" of solutions at end of life is not always the best job in the world, but it is an activity essential to avoid that companies also end up in a cemetery.
X25 networks, Windows PCs and office suites obese applications in client / server, master plans for five years ... the list goes on antiquities which it is urgent to separate.
Croque-mort
As much as I am happy to see new technologies accepted more quickly by companies, as I am concerned when I see how the longevity of obsolete technology tends to increase.
The incredible resilience of the old messaging solutions that too many CIOs insist on managing in-house while it's been years that the public has moved on webmail in the Cloud is an example of great concern.
I had a nightmare last night: I saw in 2015 the "laggards" within the meaning of the bell curve, which continued to manage their own mail servers!
The second part of this analysis will focus on infrastructure and third party uses.

Rugby is a sport of it right?

Contrary to what some would have us believe, no. It is no more left.
Un Néo-Zélandais lors de la commémoration, le 20 septembre, du premier match de
After receiving a drubbing to have only speculated that the Rugby World Cup drew perhaps the line for 45 days as what the world of rugby can be as likely as a table Night New Zealand - New risk-taking because of the issue raised by the editor of Slate and that I started with the cowardice of the one you made a pass in the back: Is rugby Right?
Looking like Ben ... and especially do not boot into touch!
The burning question arose from the assertion of another contributor to Slate, ulcerated reading an article of a special envoy of the BBC in New Zealand which was not gone dead hand on her blog. "This is proof that rugby is a sport right," says my colleague from Slate also returned after plating.
Lent this text, it is true, at least to smile as he was shocked and a bit snobbish. Extracts from this lyrical titled "beds Insider":
"Rugby is an elite sport. Of the heart. The nobility of soul. Old-fashioned values, more Cyrano de Bergerac - his freedom, his panache, his generosity - that Octave Parango and all these modern icons, hateful incarnations of cynicism and bling-bling. Rugby loses to accept the first came to his banquet. A prostitute bait barge with its single head hairy gondola. "Pleasing everyone is to please anyone," Sacha Guitry had understood ... "
Or further:
"The low ceiling fans of football as a medal exhibit the universality of their sport, sneer at the small number of countries followers of rugby. Let them know once and for all that it is our pride not to be accessible to first come through our rules so complex. Obviously football is universal. There is no more simplistic, with its single most stupid rule to assimilate that of offside when the rugby requires time and intelligence to be tamed. But after that, what a privilege! "
Indeed, they are clearly on the right lines as they equate to an elite rugby after a nobility that would reject the first Chabal came (too popular to be honest) and did not mix, or do not want to compromise with the common people who in any case does not understand anything and it would look with all his top with a sort of sovereign contempt.
The white knight against the bumpkins footballFor some supporters of rugby, there is, indeed, still this idea a little retrograde and patronizing that rugby players form a gentry or aristocracy of white knights face, for example, those bumpkins of soccer players who have all the defects of the earth . That rugby players are the singers of a royal "epic" (LOL lyrical formula often repeated over time by generations of colleagues) when the players would now only rough uncultivated able one day to mount the barricades Knysna and a bus for fun to make their ridiculous little May 68 in South Africa.
This is a somewhat "extreme" to consider the rugby even if we know that the rugby union, sport imported, is historically linked to the aristocracy and the bourgeoisie in Britain. For the "rightward" and a little exaggeration, one can also note that it is popular with business leaders-normal, it is practiced in high schools as opposed to football. One can also note that goes well with golf for many years. Many rugby players are golfers, right sport if any, and what are the two sports in which Societe Generale has set his sights on sponsorship.
This kinship rugby golf is also found for decades in the newspaper where both Team sports were treated regularly by the same heads of sections and the same feathers as if they were blood brothers (blue).
The myth of the valuesAfter Denis Lalanne, a brilliant chronicler of rugby and golf (and tennis), Pierre-Michel Bonnot has taken up the torch of this double cover.
In a very good article, published last year in L'Equipe Magazine, Laurent Telo, specialist rugby, had dismantled the legend of rugby heroic, chivalrous and untouchable in a paper entitled "Rugby, the ball of values" and in which he cut to pieces the myth to highlight the mythology related to a sport much more noble than other disciplines.
Pierre Villepreux, coach who was part of the framework of the XV of France, in particular liked to say that "rugby will never be a professor of moral values ​​because it will never be stronger than human nature and that they do not preserve anything. "Bénézech Laurent, a former Blue, it evoked the memory of his side's tragic murder by his wife of Marc Cécillon. "My first reaction was to tell me that these so-called values ​​that have kept Mark's alcoholism. An entire city, rather than tell him to stop drinking, tapped him on the shoulder and handed him a tour. "
In summary, rugby and his most zealous admirers would not virtuous to give lessons to anyone. The courage, camaraderie, solidarity, team spirit, sharing, among the values ​​assigned to the sport certainly difficult (than football), did not deserve to be the exclusive turf. The rugby union would also have its weaknesses, its dark side and little acts of cowardice which would fall on earth and to be more of people than some believe. And this is so that the cursor would move toward the left.
The southwest crucible rugby and radical socialismThis would also be logical at least geographically as the Southwest, the crucible of radical socialism and rugby, has remained through the time of election an oasis from the left. Historically, Toulouse, the capital of rugby, has nearly always had the heart to the left-that is where the PS even likes to finish his campaign-Landes and never gave the feeling of having some affection for the right.
Looking at the list of Top 14 teams, one must admit that the left is very well represented with cities as emblematic for her Toulouse, Clermont-Ferrand, Montpellier, Paris, Lyon. At least the rugby public would lean left and it has long been in areas where they are not the priests who learned the game of rugby to children, but teachers often secular and socialist.
Remember also that it is a leftist president, François Mitterrand, who was the first to attend the final of rugby league in France in 1981, while all his predecessors on the right, present at the final of the Coupe de France Football since 1927, had always snubbed the event.
"Rugby is the control of violence by law. The problem is whether violence is more right or left. History teaches us that matter there is a draw. "So said Jean Lacouture, who refused to settle in the Express in 2007. Difficult indeed to get an opinion as the values ​​of right and left, sieved speeches of politicians, now appear to be confused often in total disarray.
Former coach XV of France, Bernard Laporte, who has put up posters for the Socialist Party in his youth and has campaigned ardently for François Mitterrand in 1981 along with his working-class parents, has finished in the Secretary of State government François Fillon and sings today urbi et orbi the virtues of Nicolas Sarkozy, while saying he could be part of a future left-wing government.

School Sport: everywhere and for all

School Sport: Everywhere?
On the occasion of the Second Day of School Sport, Wednesday, September 21, 2011, Luc Chatel visited the workshops organized sports in the City School Paul Valery (Paris 12th), enlivened by prestigious leaders from among the young champions of the sport current before making public the eight proposals made by the ambassadors of the school sport, presented by the sprinter Muriel Hurtis. Highlights of results from the reflection of athletes: Valuing the benefits of sport in terms of public health, school sport open to outsiders, to better align supply the needs of students and greater recognition of their commitment to sports associations, a mention the school record. The Minister also announced the opening of "valence sport" in certain fields of vocational baccalaureate. An ambitious program for school sports, but whose implementation will necessarily remain limited.


Luc Chatel is firmly convinced of the benefits of sport, the physical point of view but also for the moral values ​​it conveys. Muriel Hurtis, Ambassador of UNSS (with N. DLP) said these values: fair play and respect each other, and the rules themselves. The qualities and values ​​of sport, said Luc Chatel, converge with those of the school: all come together in a single project of life, ethics. Among the champions present at his side, he said, many have been revealed by the school sports. We must go further and provide more space for sport in schools.


First key element: the start of school external partners and the institutional recognition of the commitment of the players in the sports associations. With an outstanding network of associations, the National Education has a huge pool, quality and diversity, with the USEPA (Athletic Union of the primary education) and UNSS (National Union of School Sport) among others. The Minister recalled that the annual registration UNSS third sporting federation in France which includes one million licensees, amounts to € 17 per child for access to multiple activities.


Route point of the action taken last year toward school sports: attendance, first of all, is increasing, the minister announced, while the major federations have problems of recruitment, has 10 UNSS additional 000 members. Diversification of supply, especially to girls (an agreement must be signed with the Federation of Women's Football), students with disabilities (who may find a very good means of integration, as shown in a Wheelchair basketball workshop presented at this visit), and in respect of new and lesser known sports.


The sharing of positive values, then: 100 000 students have been trained in the program "young officials" who can discover the arbitration. On the other hand, 32% of high school sports associations now have students in vice-presidents, along with the principals, in encouragement of the department - which has lowered the age of majority at 16 sports to allow teens wish to create their own association. Finally, the appearance of a mention on the school record for most young people value the investment should improve the recognition of their commitment.


The device "class in the morning, sports in the afternoon" experienced last year in 120 secondary schools with over 7500 students gave complete satisfaction, today announced the Minister students more motivated, more diligent, more respectful of the frame of life and their peers. School inputs would be greatly improved. A benefit that justifies the doubling of the experiment this year, 212 institutions to nearly 15 000 students and 796 participants, half of teachers in 2011-2012. The project will have a component specifically targeted at residential schools, as well as offering an educational exploration or a complement to EPS. The commitment of institutions spread over two years on a voluntary basis of the educational team.


The Minister reiterated his commitment to promote sports as in boarding schools of excellence, open to excellent students from disadvantaged backgrounds. He also stressed the importance of sport for the reintegration of students out with the school system or social rules, prior to successful reintegration.


Last point of this intervention, Luc Chatel raised the professionalisation of sport at various levels, regardless of the competition, in many professions including annexes development is growing (areas of animation, sales, health and welfare, etc. .) It proposes the introduction on an experimental basis, the "valence" in sport in the vocational baccalaureate courses to fill an existing gap.


Experiments, therefore, rather than generalized plans for school sports: one can indeed wonder what else, while the lack of sports facilities in schools and local authorities can hardly be compensated at the time of budget cuts in all directions, with significant investment, and reducing the number of PE teachers, although offset by the call for outside professionals, raises more than ever the difficult problem of managing groups. One can also wonder about the future of physical education in primary and nursery, where his critical is unanimously recognized, while the number of classes swell premises that are not scalable and do not permit . If sport has the soothing and uplifting as the Minister describes, one can only wish to practice extended everywhere and for everyone, but if the renewal of the particular experiences conceals the impossibility of achieving this great project, it might be better to assess the actual situation in its true valuation for a successful sport at school.
