Atomontage Engine | futur présent Bonjour à tous, Branislav le créateur du magique Atomontage Engine nous a accordé quelques minutes lors d’une rencontre impromptue ce Week-End… Mon anglais n’est pas parfait mais on c’est compris! C’est le principal… {*style:<b>-Please describe your Team, where are you from, what is you graduate levels, how many members on Atomontage Team? My name is Branislav Siles, I was born in Bratislava, Slovakia, where I live most of the time. My first ideas on a voxel-based engine are dated back to 2001 just after I’ve released a few voxel-based 256-bytes intros (you can find “Oxlpka”, “I like ya, Tweety!” Voxels are the only representation that takes little space, allows to define complex composite volumetric geometry easily and is very easy to process using simple algorithms. I believe that future game engines will allow the player to build and also destroy the virtual world in any way they like. I will sell if I decide to.

Les 50 entreprises les plus puissantes du monde - Journal du Net Economie Une poigné de firmes multinationales s'accaparent la majeure partie des richesses produites par les entreprises. Une poignée de multinationales domine le monde. Ce constat n'est pas le fruit d'un groupe d'extrême gauche adepte de la théorie du complot mais d'une étude très avancée de trois chercheurs de l'Ecole polytechnique fédérale de Zürich. Ces derniers ont établi les liens capitalistiques entre les acteurs économiques mondiaux, à partir d'une base de 43 000 entreprises actives en 2007 sur les cinq continents. Ils en ont déduit la part du chiffre d'affaires global directement ou indirectement contrôlé par chaque entreprise. Leur verdict est sans appel : un "noyau" de 147 multinationales contrôle 40% du chiffre d'affaires engendré par les entreprises au niveau mondial. "La concentration du pouvoir n'est pas forcément un problème en soi", expliquent les auteurs, qui écartent toute idée "d'entente" ou de "conspiration". Méthodologie

Infonetics Research | telecommunications market research | telecom market analysis Welcome to Family Business Magazine! High Growth Industry Profile - Geospatial Technology Revenues from the public sector lead geospatial market growth and account for more than one-third of total revenue. While federal governments were among the early adopters of GIS technology, recent trends toward devolving more responsibilities to states and localities have spurred those entities to become important consumers of GIS. While industries in the regulated sector, such as utilities, telecommunications, transportation and education, are the largest consumers of GIS/geospatial solutions, private-sector growth remains dependent upon business adoption based on the added-value these technologies provide. Skills, Competencies, and Training Emerging occupations within the geospatial technology industry require developing competency models for new applications of geospatial technology. Image and Outreach to the Public Pipeline In order to meet industry growth requirements employers need to examine alternatives to the traditional pipeline.

Solution, test, améliorer, analyse de la performance d'un site web MERKIT - ICT consultancy services Pike Research The Financial Executives Networking Group The math of SaaS revenue growth A conversation with the CEO of a SaaS company today reminded me of the importance of the rule of 78s. What is this “rule”, you ask. If you run a recurring revenue business, it is the most important number you have never heard of. Back to my conversation with the CEO. We were talking about the use of proceeds for the financing she is trying to raise. Lets say that this company ended 2009 with $3 million in run-rate revenue and that the Company has two sales reps. Now lets talk about the enhanced growth opportunity. While this looks like meager growth, it doesn’t tell the whole story. Here are the key takeaways: 1) Get the Base Right: Recurring-revenue businesses are great because they are highly predictable. 2) Scaling Takes Time: The most common mistake I see recurring-revenue entrepreneurs make it to underestimate the time it takes for increased sales and marketing resource to impact the top-line. By the way, the CEO of the SaaS company I was speaking with got this analysis dead-right.
