Gartner's predictions for 2006

In December, Gartner published its forecasts for 2006 and beyond .
The analysis focuses on the IT markets (mobile devices, operators, storage .. .), the major themes of reflection (SOA, CRM, collaboration, e-learning, web services ...) and large industries (banking, health , insurance, media, retail ...).
We can remember a few lines.
1 / The decisions of consumers will increasingly affect deeply the technology decisions of firms and public or private organizations. Thus, the boundary between personal and professional use of IT will become increasingly blurred.
Specifically, Gartner estimates that by 2008, 10% of companies ask their employees to make themselves the acquisition of a personal computer.
D years the same vein, 20% of desktop applications will be chosen by users themselves.
2 / market specialist suppliers should continue to move deeper.
Thus, Gartner predicts that over 4 large software publishers (BMS, Computer Associates, HP Open View and IBM / Tivoli) only CA and IBM are still in the quartet in 2008 .

The Future of IT would read it in hotel rooms? Symantec Acquires Sygate

Lu InternetActu , publication of the Fing and Inist , this article entitled "The hotels, the crucible of technology innovation?
There is confirmation that innovation in IT is a crucial element of development and differentiation in the hospitality industry.
After seeing melt income from the sale of telephone, hotel quickly found an alternative source in the implementation of access to Internet as Wi-Fi hotspots, or access ADSL in the rooms.
But innovation does not stop there, and affects all current technology and upcoming television, DVD other sources of multimedia information, entertainment or gambling, centralized and remote interconnection of various media, etc..
Still, the economic stakes are high, because the pace of evolution of digital products and services accelerating, and the costs to follow are far from negligible.
As the author points out:
"The anticipation of these needs, expressed (or not) by [customers] with s many gadgets and hi-tech mobile devices poses a problem for hoteliers economic. On the one hand, these tools enable customers to satisfy - independently - Needs that could be offered them - and billed - by the hotels themselves. On the other hand, adapting institutions and chambers in order to accommodate these new components of nomadic technology is expensive. The consultant Jim Medick (MRC Group) estimated in September in Las Vegas Review Journal that, for now, we could see an opportunity in these constraints: "Whatever age, today's market based the ability to stay connected. While many hotels have lost money by charging fewer phone calls because of the g & # 233; isation of mobile phones, they can navigate by offering fax services in the rooms, and rental of gaming consoles to the r & # 233; desk ". The example of Las Vegas is also interesting, if the place once known for its spartan character hotels, enticing visitors to come out ... to go to casinos. Things have changed and new institutions, all the more disproportionate than the others, now offer comfort equipment non-standard: high-end TVs (Bang & Olufsen) backed by remote piloting any aircraft in the bedroom suites at MGM Grand, iPods at Green Valley Ranch printers and faxes in the rooms at the Venetian. Hoteliers are unanimous: technology and gadgets to help sell and match what customers expect of a modern hotel. "

Different Type Of Labia

and throws customers personal firewall

I discovered with stupor, as many individual users of Sygate Personal Firewall, the new uplifting, published on the Web sites Symantec (U.S. version) :
"Following the recent merger of Symantec and Sygate, Sygate's site will be integrated the Symantec online store November 30, 2005.
Please note that the same date, all products and support forums will be discontinued Sygate "
For francophones, the news is confirmed & # 233; e, among others, 01net.com: http://www.01net.com/article/296752.html .
This practice, which involves redeem a publisher, then to abandon its products, leaving the former customers that the choice of buying a new software, and quite shocking. Unfortunately this is not the first time that Symantec does so.
The consequences are even more shocking for individuals with the Sygate personal firewall, they used to enjoy a good free program will now buy a product not really equivalent to Symantec (if you know the practices intrusive software Symantec SystemWorks for example it is virtually impossible to uninstall, there is nothing to worry about).
We would encourage consumers to pirate software, we do not take it otherwise.
And if users of Sygate faisent all expressed their dissatisfaction with Symantec? We can write SYG_Sales@symantec.com .

One of his conclusions is: the Internet will eventually be a universal tool of inter-enterprise. Even in 2005 very few companies faced, large or small, were aware of all these possibilities: the stories highlighted by the media plan often under the spotlight as retail sites to the public, navigating the pages at random or problems with online payment (without speaking sites "wafer", pirates or pornography) which are the scum of the subject and that mask the depth of the current upheavals. >>

How Does Taylor Lautner Keep His Teeth White

Attention to the reality of instant messaging in business

Lu Inside Gartner This Week (Vol XXI, No. 42, October 19, 2005)

The instant messaging tools continue to spread in business, and today we see three main trends:

- use instant messaging (IM) continues to grow, despite the lack of support by the company;
- employees do not use it only to chat ("cat"): they also use the document sharing and conf & # 233; Conference;
- some users have reported productivity gains and cost reduction.

However, all is not simple tools IM (MSN Messenger, Yahoo, AOL IM, etc..) Are not compatible with each other, leading most users to install multiple software " clients "on a single machine or to call des logiciels tiers, capable de consolider plusieurs listes de correspondants sous une interface unique.


Gartner a constaté que 62 % des entreprises consultées n'offrent aucune solution de MI officielle. Mais cela varie fortement en fonction de la taille des entreprises, les grandes entreprises étant moins nombreuses à ignorer le sujet (44,6 % contre 84 % dans les petites organisations).


La même enquête montre que 57 % des personnes interrogées utilisent les outils de MI sur le lieu de travail, pour des usages personnels, ce qui représente une utilisation non régulée public networks. But a similar proportion said they used IM at home for business purposes.

In terms of value perceived by users, the MI produce three main types of response:

- efficiency (faster than the mail electronics, rapid problem resolution, can more easily attract the attention ...)
- presence (possibility check the status of persons: online, busy, away);
- The savings: lower long distnce ommunications telephone.

In conclusion, Gartner recommends that companies become aware of the underground use of MI and take measures to ensure control and management.
