Web or Windows? No, Web & Windows! (Part 2)

The debate has been raging for over a decade and the heights the confrontation and rivalries at the turn of the Millennium. So, what is it, Web or Windows? At the time, these two diametrically opposed visions each had hard core advocates who had sworn allegiance to the death. Much water has passed under the bridge since then and today we understand that reality is not quite so simple; not everything is black or white.

The vast majority of businesses – be they big, medium or even small – have purchased numerous office software programme licenses from Microsoft (Windows, Office, SharePoint, etc.) since the arrival of Windows and a great many of these have invested in the development of applications custom built in Microsoft’s .Net framework or other platforms. And today, almost all IT managers are turning to the Web where they are seriously considering or at the very least evaluating their options there.

Migrate my applications to the Web or die. Really?

The time has come to migrate the technology of many of your existing applications and your IT Management Director swears by the Web, he or she wants all new applications (or almost all…) to be Web-based. The main argument being made is that all these web applications will be much easier to deploy and maintain and that there will be huge savings in fees.

Oh Web!  Oh how we adore you!

Some of your current applications actually contain a lot of business intelligence and your users have gotten used to the way they’ve accessed it over the years.  Will your new Web-based applications allow you to preserve the integrity of your business intelligence and maintain the current level of usability?

Analystik – 25 ans d’évolution TI…

Analystik, c’est une histoire comme celle de milliers d’autres entreprises : trois copains d’universités se lancent en affaires et fondent une firme de services-conseils TI; « d’intégration et développement logiciel ».  Et vous l’aurez deviné, nous avons vécu, d’aucuns diront survécu, à tout ce à quoi Microsoft nous a convié / confronté ces 25 dernières années.

Quand je regarde l’évolution, que dis-je, l’explosion des technologies, des environnements TI et des modèles d’affaires proposés ces dernières années; honnêtement, en tant qu’intervenant du monde des TI, il n’est pas toujours facile de s’y retrouver.

Comment identifier les technologies gagnantes ou les entreprises-fournisseurs de technologies qui proposent des modèles d’affaires « gagnant-gagnant-gagnant » ?  Si, si, vous avez bien lu; 3 fois gagnant comme dans « client-fournisseur-développeur ».  Si vous avez une réponse toute simple et infaillible à cette question; prière de m’appeler ASAP !
