How To Tilt Lacroose Helmet

Progression Freelance

According to INSEE since 2003 the number of freelancers increased 24% to, today the figure of 200 000: there are as many lawyers as advice and freelance computer twice as liberal as accountants.

I think that this increase is due to:
  • waves of dismissal, in large consulting firms and major IT services companies in recent years
  • pressure that suffered the inter-contract consultants
  • lack of prospects for the unemployed over 45 years.

Should we rejoice?

There must have freelancers happy with their choice. On those niches. As for others, they should too much hassle finding missions.

Whatever your choice, to remain employed (if you can) or you put in your account, choose the right niche and expand your network.

For the rest, I can not resist the pleasure of sharing with you the " 10 tips for a successful career "

My Babysitter Molested Me

SAP is still before

Yesterday, Oracle announced its quarterly results. Very

good results with a profit increase of over 21% and an increase in turnover of 26% appear to 4.163 billion dollars. This good result is mainly due to acquisitions has made Oracle Sunopsis, Sigma Dynamics, Siebel and PeopleSoft.

This presentation reveals that despite its recent acquisitions, Oracle is losing ground to SAP, which saw its market share gains increased again.

For example in France, after its slump in 2003-2005, SAP is spirited to monopolize all sectors. Including the public sector market (Ministrers Finance) and local (City of Paris).

It also reveals good news for the future. Market demand for enterprise software remains strong.

Conclusion, as I mentioned yesterday, the SAP consultants have a bright future ahead of them. But they do not forget to learn the new SAP offerings to prepare the transition to the Netweaver platform.

The new battle around the SAP Netweaver platform

The consulting firms and software houses are sharpening their weapons to capture the new Eldorado of the ERP market.

SAP pushes the envelope to promote his platform oriented web services: NetWeaver .

This platform is designed to gradually migrate to SAP software solutions, web services, to meet the needs of establishing cross business processes for greater flexibility and agility of information systems.

When we know that in France, more than 1600 companies are equipped with SAP ERP. One can easily imagine the potential of SAP market in the next ten years. All these companies will have to migrate their current systems to new architectures.

Anyway, web services-oriented architectures are popular for two or three and things are accelerating.

All consulting firms and software houses have developed all offers SOA and establish centers of expertise around the solutions for publishers.

To ensure your future, depending on your area of expertise, you've got to put the SOA on your CV.

For SAP consultants, no doubt, their bosses will train them to Netweaver.

For others, the scope of opportunities has never been opened. If you have technical skills (WebSphere,. Net, Java ...) or professional skills (redesign, optimization, modeling processes), the future is in your hands.

A realization of what I said the takeover was announced by the group Clear Value SQLI.

" SQLI Group announced it has signed an exclusive agreement to acquire 100% stake in the group Clear Value ( more than 50 consultants, about 6th planned for 2006) . Based in Paris, Lyon, Brussels and Luxembourg, Clear Value is France's leading services and solutions developed on the new NetWeaver technology platform based on e-business, launched by SAP. "

With this acquisition" SQLI prend une position de leader sur le nouveau marché SAP/NetWeaver à très fort potentiel. Acteur de référence sur les plates-formes technologiques Websphere d'IBM et .Net de Microsoft, SQLI devient ainsi l'un des seuls acteurs spécialisés sur les 3 plates-formes e-business déployées chez les grands comptes et sur lesquelles se construisent les systèmes d'information du futur . »

Pour améliorer votre staffing, vous savez ce qu’il vous reste à faire.

A bientôt. Et n’hésitez pas à laisser vos commentaires.
