Support Blue Soft within the DevOps department of Médiamétrie

For more than 10 years, Blue Soft has been working with Médiamétrie to meet their production engineering and system and network needs. Since 2009, Médiamétrie has adopted the Agile SCRUM method for software development. In 2015, Médiamétrie wanted to extend Agile to the Production teams by adopting a DevOps culture, making it one of the pioneers in France. This decision has helped strengthen the collaboration between Médiamétrie and Blue Soft, which makes Devops one of its specialties. We spoke with Christophe Roulland, director of the Devops department at Médiamétrie since 2020. He explained the origins of this department, how it works and why Blue Soft has been their preferred partner for a long time. You are the director of the Devops department since 2020.

DevOps: 6 tips before implementing continuous testing

The growing adoption of DevOps and CI/CD (continuous integration/continuous delivery) culture is pushing DevOps departments to automate their continuous testing practices. At the same time, manual testing is now too slow, too expensive, not reliable enough. Continuous testing is becoming indispensable. Developers need to be notified almost instantly about software changes in order to quickly resolve quality issues without disrupting the code. So we've decided to highlight 6 key tips before thinking about redesigning your DevOps method from testing to continuous testing. To the right DevOps the right tools Continuous testing is not just about a few tools. But you will need the best tools to succeed. In fact, we invite you to read our article on the must-have Devops tools. First, make sure that all the tools you want to use integrate well with your IDE (integrated development environment) and your processes. For this step, there is no universal answer as each organization has its own tools, architectures, frameworks and APIs. For example, your tools may need to enable API level testing, support mobile environments, [...]

How to have a good mobile first approach?

A headache for web designers, a challenge for developers, an opportunity for marketers... Mobile introduces new rules, especially that of compatibility. This is precisely the objective of the mobile first approach. Good to know: the expression "mobile first" has two meanings: the philosophy (having a mobile first approach to adapt to the uses of its users) and the design (offering screens perfectly adapted to small terminals). Here, we will talk about philosophy as well as design, since both are linked to mobile first development. Contrary to what companies who develop their websites in desktop first would like to believe, smartphones and tablets are leading the market: more than half of the time spent on the Internet is spent on mobile. This statistic, eloquent in itself, takes on a certain magnitude when you consider that the world is populated by 4.54 billion Internet users. In fact, more than 2.27 billion people access the Internet through their smartphone. The fact is that mobile users spend a lot of time on their device, about 3 hours and 40 minutes per day. Would it be time to [...]

Mobile applications: are they really on the decline?

We've been hearing it for the past 3 years: we are witnessing the decline of mobile applications. Replaced by web applications, native apps are now obsolete. Well, not so much. 2019 signed a record in downloads, continued by the containment that led citizens to their app store. The future of apps is bright: thanks to 5g and subscription-based services, the market is expected to cap at $90bn. Towards the end of mobile applications? App Annie, the mobile data analysis guru says so, 2019 saw a 5% increase in mobile app downloads in France. However, the good news must be qualified: like any mature market, France shows a very small increase compared to the rest of the world (+45%). Moreover, it is not the new applications that are shaking up habits. The most popular native apps have been the same since 2016: Netflix, Deezer, Tinder... How to explain such a situation? On the one hand, native apps correspond less and less to behavioral habits. The requirement in terms of commitment (download then registration) and the memory needed on the smartphone encourage users to turn to other solutions. On the other hand, [...]

Digital transformation of banks: review its IT infrastructure

The banking sector has been undergoing a real digital transformation for a few years now. This phenomenon is not only based on the popularity of neo-banks and the emergence of fintechs. The more traditional banks have also made a 180° turn. The proof: the network banks now offer as many digital tools as the neo-banks. The massive investments of the historical banks have been equal to the stakes on the front office side: new online services, powerful applications and modernized websites. Now it's time to tackle the back office. If banks want to make a complete digital transformation, they need to revamp their IT infrastructure with three immediate goals in mind: to leverage their data, to offer as many services online as in the branch, and to create a new experience for customers as well as employees. 100% digital is not yet a reality Since banks still operate with dated infrastructures, "all digital" does not exist: Not all banks have dematerialized their complex operations such as the choice of a savings contract; Not all products are yet digitalized. Some of the biggest banks do not allow to take out a loan [...]

APIsation, the missing link in digital insurance

Essential to the evolution of the insurance industry, the APIsation phenomenon has a role to play in defining the professions of tomorrow. It will enable insurers to keep pace with new practices, and even anticipate their customers' needs. Communication channels, support for new services, tools for redefining the customer experience... the possibilities offered by APIsation are infinite. See also APIsation: the rules to follow. The APIsation of insurance, for example, could redefine the role of the advisor in the face of customer life experiences. Rather than waiting for the customer to come to them, the insurer positions itself as a companion as soon as a change in the customer's life takes shape. New purchases, family or professional changes, lifestyles... many experiences lend themselves to unprecedented support. The banking sector has been looking at this issue for some years now, through Open Banking. By relying on APIs, players are increasingly aligning themselves with their customers' desires. However, the insurance industry has not yet turned the corner. And yet, in this specific field, APIs represent an exceptional springboard. Still not convinced? Discover the proof in three. APIs for [...]

The 10 must-have DevOps tools for 2021

Conceived as an answer to the duality between developers and operational staff, the DevOps culture is spreading to the point of taking place in 37% of global enterprises. But a DevOps team doesn't work without its tools. Few groups operate without the help of software, the most popular solutions being open source. Find in our guide the most powerful free and non-free tools on the market. CI/CD development CI/CD development is the testing phase that challenges the code. The acronym CI/CD stands for Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment. Rather than development teams delivering their source code to operations in a single block at a single point in time, code is tested as it is written or modified. Integration and deployment tools reduce the time needed to create new features. The code, functional since it has been verified, will serve as a basis for the operational staff. GitHub The project hosting and programming service has been the star of CI/CD tools for some time. By recording all the modifications of the source code, GitHub allows to follow the progress of the work and to have an overview of the work history. Very advantageous for a team, GitHub [...]

Thanks to a custom application, Vinci Immobilier improves the quality control of its projects

Since July 2017, the digital division of Blue Soft has been supporting Vinci Immobilier in improving processes related to quality control. A collaboration in agile mode that has transformed processes and habits, even impacting other departments in the company. A look back at the experience with Stéphane Gogeat-Damois, Director of Digital Projects at Vinci Immobilier. Can you tell us more about the initial project at Vinci Immoblier and when Blue Soft was involved? Stéphane Gogeat-Damois: "The project for which Blue Soft was involved was part of a dematerialization process. The project consisted in putting a strategic tool for managing our sites in the form of a web application: the QCD (Quality Control File). The QCD is a kind of breadcrumb trail of the operations related to a real estate project, which is involved from the launch of the project until its final completion. It is therefore an element that can reach significant volumes. Until now, this file took the form of an Excel file, with all the limitations that this implies. With this application, we wanted to achieve two objectives: to make the life of employees easier and to make the document more reliable and useful. For example, with autocompletion modes, or the automation of reports. [...]
