HDS Hosting: why is Azure a key partner for GHTs?

Health data is not personal data like any other. The legislator has taken care to provide a framework for the rules governing its hosting. HDS hosting, i.e. having received certification to be able to host health data, has been mandatory in any information system linked to the medical sector since 2018. Here's an article to find out more about healthcare data and the RGPD. At the same time, spurred on by the law modernizing the healthcare system, establishments are tending to group together in GHTs (groupements hospitaliers de territoire) in order to pool their resources and enable the patient to be placed at the heart of healthcare organization. The digital transformation that accompanies these groupings can be complex, particularly when it comes to unifying information systems and their architecture. cloud computing provides a solution for infrastructures; its benefits are even amplified by the use of remote applications. But healthcare information also brings with it heightened data protection constraints. Migration projects to Cloud services therefore require specialized business expertise. As holder of the Microsoft services contract awarded by the CAIH (Centrale d'achat de l'informatique hospitalière), Blue Soft Empower has developed solid expertise in the [...]

Top 5 benefits of Microsoft's Azure DevOps

What are the benefits of working with Azure DevOps? More and more developer and operations teams are embracing the DevOps culture to address the duality between developers and operations. Today, 37% of enterprises are reported to have already implemented DevOps projects (Trend Micro, 2019), and Azure DevOps and its assets are starting to set the standard for the field. However, the number of tools labeled "DevOps" is growing by the day (see our article on must-have DevOps tools) and it is easy to get lost in the jungle of solutions. In this jungle, some solutions like Azure DevOps stand out. There are many reasons for this, so we have summarized the strengths of Azure DevOps in 5 main advantages. 1. The security offered by Azure DevOps The Azure environment makes security its priority by following the standard security models to the letter: detect, assess, diagnose, stabilize, close. This is coupled with rigorous cybersecurity monitoring, earning Microsoft Azure an impressive array of international compliances. 2.

Collaborative work: How Blue Soft Empower supported its clients during the health crisis

During the health crisis and the confinement, remote collaborative work and the tools that facilitate it were the stars of the companies. Suddenly, all of us were behind our screens, and the need to facilitate exchanges and sharing could no longer be postponed. Teams looked for ways to ensure business continuity, whenever possible. For digital services companies, the period has been protean. For while digital is fully, naturally and culturally integrated into teams, the impact of containment on customers has been uneven. Where some have seen the urgency of certain projects and accelerated on the subjects, others have slowed down or stopped their activity. Our subsidiary Blue Soft Empower , a specialist in collaborative work and the implementation of Office 365 (the reference suite, now officially named "Microsoft 365"), has accompanied its customers during this delicate phase. Whether they are part of the private, public or hospital sector, they were able to rely on its responsiveness and resilience to get through this unprecedented period. A partnership with Microsoft that has proven its value in the implementation of collaborative work As soon as the containment was announced, [...]

Yammer vs Teams: complementary or competitors?

While Yammer, created in 2008, entered the Microsoft fold in 2012, the appearance of Teams in in 2017 has sort of reshuffled the deck. Until then, users had a primarily office use of the Office suite. And suddenly, we switch to a collaborative vision of work, which accelerates further with the health crisis, forcing the planet to remote collaboration. Those who already had a real use of Yammer (and who were not necessarily very numerous, in proportion to Office 365 users), wonder if it is not a bit duplicative. And Teams users have a hard time understanding why they should use Yammer as well. But on closer inspection, each of these two products has its own specificities and "rules of the game" to know in order to optimize their use. What is Yammer not? Yammer is not a project management tool, nor is it an instant messaging or collaboration platform. Yet, Yammer has features that could give the opposite impression: connection with Sharepoint, user groups, integrated chat... So what is Yammer? A social network, but confined to a few [...]

Yammer community: 7 keys to engaging your employees

In the family of digital tools that facilitate collaboration, the corporate social network is a weapon of mass cohesion. Yammer is a long-standing player in this field, and its functionalities have been inspired by the best in social media. Yammer joined Microsoft in 2012, to integrate with the Office 365 suite and foster exchanges between teams. But teams may need a little help to get started and bring the network to life. That's why it's essential to animate your Yammer community. Without it, the network quickly loses interest. Here are some of our best practices for making your Yammer network the cement that holds your company together. See also our article comparing Yammer and Teams 1. Set up Yammer properly, with the right tools and features Before launching the big maneuvers and inviting all your colleagues to share posts on your corporate social network, you need to prepare the interface so that it's engaging.

Biotope chooses cloud hybrid via Microsoft Azure

After Office 365, Biotope turned to cloud hybrid with Microsoft Azure. Olivier Raynaud, its Director of Information Systems, agreed to talk about the reasons for this choice. He also talks about how his team uses cloud and the advantages of hybridisation. Presentation of Biotope Biotope is Europe's leading environmental consultancy. Biotope has a subsidiary dedicated to communication and publishing and advises its clients via 18 agencies in France and in the French overseas departments. Biotope also has an international presence, with 5 subsidiaries located in Morocco, Madagascar, China, Central Africa and Belgium. Why did you choose the cloud hybrid? Olivier Raynaud explains: "The choice of cloud hybrid came quite naturally, in successive phases. About 3 years ago, we realized that our architecture was at risk. We had a number of applications and machines in various locations. Indeed, we had different servers in several clouds and also on our premises. Our backup control was not in place. So we planned a roadmap to make sure that we would be able to [...]

Collaborative work and telework: How to reconcile the two?

It is rather counter-intuitive to associate collaborative work and telework in the same expression. It's obviously easier to get a team to work together when you can be grouped together! But the Covid-19 pandemic has reshuffled the cards: forced to learn to work remotely, while continuing to manage projects in collaborative mode. Remote work is now going to be a must in most French companies. Those who were not used to teleworking are discovering the possibility, if not the advantages. If some companies are still reluctant to see their employees dispersed, some situations force them to develop new collaborative models. Rather than rejecting online collaboration even if it means finding yourself in the water, why not try to adopt this new project management? Blue Soft gives you the keys to tame remote work while keeping your team together. Collaborative work, even when telecommuting The current situation confirms it: remote work is the royal way, and sometimes the only way, to maintain the activity of the company, whatever the context. In some cases, working alone can be done as well.

Collaborative platform: unsuspected advantages

A collaborative platform is the cornerstone of project management and collaborative work, it allows its deployment and expression. At Blue Soft, we use Office 365 and this platform is one of the most deployed among our customers, even in the world. As we know from experience, a collaborative platform offers many possibilities: saving time, structuring exchanges, centralizing information... To the point of becoming essential: 58% of large and medium-sized companies have adopted a "digital workplace". But much more than a facilitating tool, the platform actually accompanies you beyond the organization, on many subjects, and generates by ricochet advantages that you perhaps did not suspect at the launching of the project. Thanks to the collaborative platform, employees are happier A happy employee is a productive employee. This is what the Ipsos and KFE study revealed: 65% of employees believe that collaborative work improves team productivity. And a happy collaborator is not only someone who plays foosball during the break! Happiness in the workplace is achieved through other levers: More direct communication The development of horizontality [...]

From mailing lists to Office 365 Groups: We tell you everything!

Mailing lists have long been used as the most common means of communication in business settings, and until recently in teams on Office 365. The formula was simple: rather than adding members of the recipient group one by one each time a message was sent, users would create lists and select all the contacts in a team with a single click. A habit that quickly found its limits since the possibilities are quite limited. Microsoft solved the problem by creating Office 365 Groups. This solution, central to the implementation of collaborative work, and offering advanced features, has become essential in team dynamics. It is therefore important to integrate it into IS management, and to replace lists with groups. Let's take a look at the do's and don'ts of Office 365 Groups. Why turn mailing lists into Office 365 Groups Switching from mailing lists (or distribution lists) to Office Groups simply means you get an improved tool. 365 Groups comes with more capabilities that make collaboration easier. Unlike lists, groups include: Automatic synchronization of shared calendars; Single access to shared documents as they are stored in a single location; and [...]
