Get some buy-in. Une année historique pour SAP France, croissance à deux chiffres. Par Bertrand Garé, le 23 janvier 2014 16:10 En marge de l’annonce des résultats annuels de l’éditeur allemand, Franck Cohen, Président de SAP EMEA, est revenu sur les tendances en Europe et en France.
Malgré une situation économique toujours difficile, SAP tire bien son épingle du jeu et la France se distingue par une année historique grâce à des contrats d’envergure. Si les analystes financiers ont pris un peu de haut les résultats de SAP lors de leurs annonces, les détails sur la zone Europe ne sont pas sans intérêt et montrent une croissance globale sur la zone de 9 %. Dans ce contexte, la France se distingue avec une croissance à deux chiffres et la filiale réalise son meilleur trimestre historique sur les huit dernières années. Autres secteurs à se distinguer, le Cloud et les lignes de métiers qui connaissent des croissances spectaculaires durant cette dernière année avec là encore des contrats significatifs comme Burberry’s ou l’Oréal.
In Search of Information Governance in the Enterprise. It’s an understatement to say companies are drowning in digital information.
Since the death of the floppy disk and the rise of networked computing, barriers to creating and sharing information have steadily come down. Combined with increased digitization paper-laden business processes, most companies find themselves struggling to harness the volume and diversity of information on their networks for business benefit.
What’s startling is just how little progress we've made in maximizing the value and minimizing risks associated with the digital content and data we collect. Any discussion of information governance always brings me back to this depressing little anecdote: "Monday September 8, 2008, is a day that the executives at United Airlines will remember. Of course the incident led to a flurry of finger pointing: was it the Webmaster at the newspaper's site that let an old article get out? This is as true on the Internet as it is on the networks of the worlds’ largest companies. <Information Governance> Chapter 1. Using Google Refine to Clean Messy Data. Google Refine (the program formerly known as Freebase Gridworks) is described by its creators as a “power tool for working with messy data” but could very well be advertised as “remedy for eye fatigue, migraines, depression, and other symptoms of prolonged data-cleaning.”
Even journalists with little database expertise should be using Refine to organize and analyze data; it doesn't require much more technical skill than clicking through a webpage. For skilled programmers, and journalists well-versed in Access and Excel, Refine can greatly reduce the time spent doing the most tedious part of data-management. Other reasons why you should try Google Refine: It’s free.It works in any browser and uses a point-and-click interface similar to Google Docs.Despite the Google moniker, it works offline. There’s no requirement to send anything across the Internet.There’s a host of convenient features, such as an undo function, and a way to visualize your data’s characteristics.
