Salut, 

A partir d’aujourd’hui, la société Pentalog Technology change de nom en Pentalog Ausy. La raison est une meilleure transposition au niveau du nom de la collaboration étroite avec notre partenaire et actionnaire de la société : Ausy.

Incepand de astazi, societatea Pentalog Technology isi schimba numele in Pentalog Ausy. Motivul este o mai buna transpunere la nivelul denumirii a colaborarii stranse pe care o avem cu partenerul nostru, care este in acelasi timp si actionar al societatii : Ausy.  

Aceasta modificare nu are nici un impact asupra relatiilor de munca sau asupra documentelor de munca incheiate pana acum. Bineinteles, de acum inainte vom utiliza denumirea noua a societatii.

Bonne journée,
Cosmina

Hello,

Java EE and SpringSource are the two faces of the same coin. None of the Java developer should ignore one of these two major frameworks. Especially now, when JEE6 gains momentum on the market.

What’s new in JEE6:
- Contextual Dependency Inject - any Spring developer will understand it in no time.
- JAX-RS - RESTful web services in Java
- Asynchronous servlets
- Singleton session bean - a new kind of EJB, that behaves exactly like a singleton Spring bean
- JSF evolution: Ajax support, full JSF lifecycle execution on initial request, navigation simplifications

All these will be presented on 28th of March 2012 in Iasi, REU01, from 17.00 until 19.00. The presentation will be animated by Catalin Mihalache; all these new JEE6 concepts will be analyzed directly on JEE6 examples.

You may contact Catalin Mihalache at cmihalache@pentalog.fr

Blandine CHRISTOL est arrivée lundi 19 mars. Elle va remplacer Emmanuelle BRISSARD qui nous quitte le 31 mars.

Blandine CHRISTOL joined Pentalog on Monday, March 19. She will replace Emmanuelle BRISSARD who is living on 31 March.
Blandine is the new administrative assistant in Orleans. Please wish her your best welcome.

Blandine CHRISTOL a venit la Pentalog luni 19 martie. Ea o va inlocui pe Emmanuelle BRISSARD care pleaca pe 31 martie.
Blandine va fi noua asistenta administrativa la Orleans. Va rog sa o primiti cum se cuvine.

This year, the budget for the trainings of Pentalog collaborators has been established at 0.5M€, beside a lot of other training and presentation events meant for the labor market and for the Universities. Globally, Pentalog will spend around 1M€ in 2012 in different training actions. This is to say that since the very beginning of the Pépinière department in 2007 (and even before) we understood that our growth needs to be sustained by an efficient training machine, which has become stronger every year with your help and participation.

As you all know, at the end of last year the organization changed and the Pèpinière department passed in the Operations Division of the group, a logical consequence if we keep in mind that the actors of this department are all Pentalog members, people who are eager to share their knowledge, good practices, methodologies, and their availability is managed by the operational part.

In terms of activities, Pépinière has the same three axes, but the responsibilities changed:
- the internship program - coordinated directly by the Delivery Center Managers
- the professional training program - coordinated by the Pépinière’s Training Manager
- the relation and partnerships with the Universities - run by the Delivery Center Managers with the help of the Pépinière’s Training Manager.

In the following paragraphs you will find the changes done for the 2012 training plan and the description of it. I am reminding you that in the beginning of each year the training plan is realized by the Pépinière and presented to the Board. The training plan is made starting from the training needs expressed by the Delivery Center Managers (based on individual interviews needs, projects needs), services responsibles and the Business Liners. Also the Pentalog strategy, the IT market tendencies and the continuous improvement needs of our collaborators are being taken into consideration.

Technologies are evolving and customer preferences changes as well. In these conditions, we need to be able to learn something new and to adapt fast to the new tendencies.

When establishing the objectives for 2012, we estimated that every Pentalog collaborator will benefit of at least 2.6 days of training / year.

For 2012 the training plan is estimated at around 6500 days. The plan includes:
- Technical trainings,
- Non-technical trainings,
- Foreign languages courses
- Internships.

The novelty is represented by the Enterprise trainings, which are meant to cover a large majority of the company collaborators and to ensure that everybody will grow with at least one level in their competencies (formal objective present in the quality policy of the group).
So this is how we divided the trainings categories:

A. Enterprise trainings, where we included the basic trainings identified with the help of the Delivery Center Managers; sessions of these trainings will be planned in each agency:
- Design Patterns (Java, PHP, .NET)
- Clean Code (Java, PHP, .NET)
- SCRUM Management - Agile
- People and Project Management
- Web Interfaces: HTML5/CSS3, jQuery
- Databases
- Business Intelligence
- Software Testing / Test Automation
- Foreign Languages

For these trainings we identified a group of Pentalog collaborators who will be initially trained by the persons who created the existing trainings and afterwards they will be able to deploy the trainings in their agencies - so there will be less constraints regarding the availability of a certain trainer.

B. Presentation sessions (1 hour, besides the working program) - who will want to share information on a certain topic with his/hers collaborators will have to prepare the presentation and Pépinière will help him/ her with the preparations and the marketing of the event.

C. Knowledge sharing sessions - more complex presentation sessions.

D. Project oriented trainings and self-trainings - answering to a specific need of a project.

The training plan for 2012 is available on Wiki KPE (via Intranet, “Common rules and Tools” section).

If you need a training which is not in the Training Plan, you can also refer to the Catalog of Trainings which is also available on the WIKI KPE (in the same document as the Training Plan). In this Catalog you will find all the possible trainings which can be animated in Pentalog.

In order for you to be well informed, on Wiki KPE we created these pages:

- What you need to know before participating to a training

- What you need to know if you want to prepare and animate a training
You will also find in this procedure the rewards offered by Pépinière for the different types of collaborations.

- What you need to know if you are going to be / if you are a coach

You can also access these pages directly from the Intranet.

If you have any questions regarding this organization, please do not hesitate to contact your Delivery Center Manager or the Pepinière Department.

And please don’t forget that the trainings proposed and organized by the Pépinière Department could not exist without your help, so the more you give, the more you get!

Bonjour a tous,

L’équipe Infrastructure de Pentalog vous informe sur la mise en production du Catalogue des Services, sous forme d’une application web ou tout collaborateur de l’entreprise dispose d’accès.

They were not born for one corner
The whole world is their native land,
They are different, they are unique,
They belong to Pentalog!

Before starting, and in order to catch your interest and intrigue you, we would like to present a short review of what we are going to come over in this February Newsletter:
news
funny situations
notes taken directly from travelers’ journal
a dose of useful information

In every case, we hope that you will find them amusing and entertaining.
Let’s brighten your day with a good laugh and a lot of positivism!
The month of February was far from being a boring month, voyages and events speaking.
Bucharest Agency had rented a brand new apartment, 7 mins walking distance from the office, and the first lucky one to stay there was our colleague from Chisinau Vasile PUTINA, he was also the most ingenious when fulfilling his “Demande de voyage”. In the column dedicated for ID number he wrote the ID number from his Identity Card, well done Vasile! Don’t mean it, please. Here are some pics of the new apartment in Bucharest:

Mobile World Congress in Barcelone has attracted lots of companies, Pentalog was among them with a nice stand. Mickael HIVER and Sophie LELARGE went there to represent Pentalog. Thanks to Mickael who did the demand for this expedition long time in advance and made our job easier, to book hotel, flight, etc. A good example to follow. On the other hand, our President Frédéric LASNIER was not so lucky when decided to join Mircea POPA and JC alias John Christian IVAN in Nuremberg last minute when all the hotels were fully booked. Ludmila’s adrenaline was up and down, the flight was changed several times, the hotel was modified as well, thanks to our girls’ experience and professionalism Olesea LOMACA and Ludmila APOSTOL, we made all these changes free of charge (we saved 300 € fot the hotel). Good job girls!
Some of pilgrims shared with us their impressions and experience during their trip. We present you some of their notes:

Valentin VASIU has brought to us the image of India seen through his eyes:
“It was my second time in India this year. And since we are only in February, you can imagine I wasn’t really eager to return to “Wonderful India”, how all the locals describe it. From the moment I stepped out of the plane, the specific smell of India hit me, bringing back all the memories from the first trip. But, I quickly snap out of that state, and braced myself for a tough onsite support for “our favorite customer”, as Ovidiu Ricu brilliantly put it in the previous newsletter.

This time, I stayed in a different hotel, in Delhi, on which I had no complaints. The only one was the distance, pretty far away from Noida. The most vivid image I still have in mind about India is the huge contrast between the rich and the poor. To give you an idea, imagine stepping out of a 4* hotel, in which you have all the comfort, and seeing, no more than 50 meters away, people living in the worst conditions possible, in the local “slums”. Makes you wonder…

The everyday trip to work was an adventure by itself. One hour, maybe one and a half hour of driving in terrible traffic was a “good” way to start the day. Constant honking, near-miss collisions, and bumpy road made every ride interesting. I even had a small car accident with the cab in my second day (nothing serious). But, I got used to it after a few days. Luckily, the people are nice and the common use of English language made the communication easy.
The food, hmm, is spicy, as you would expect from India. Still, after many “unsuccessful/painful” attempts, I discovered some very good dishes, somewhat saving the bad impression of Indian cuisine that all us Europeans have it by default.
In the end, what can I say… it was an interesting experience, with good and bad parts, but, I hope I won’t be returning any time soon, if you know what I mean :)”
Madalina GAVRILITA planned her visit to Chisinau unusually. In order to avoid the bad experience from her last trips, she followed a different strategy, she decided not to take anything precious (like gold accessories, perfume, etc.), because during her lasts visits, she lost her luggage and her favorite perfume, and good she didn’t lose her sense of humor! Thank you Mada for the good example of positive thinking! Here is her story:
”Am pornit la drum de sambata cu gandul sa nu ratez o cafea sambata seara in Bucu. Drumul a fost super pana in Buc, mai putin faptul ca mergeam ca de obicei fara GPS, iar pe drum nu se vedeau indicatoarele din cauza zapezii. Deci am facut mai putin pe autostrada decat cat m-am invartit pe centura si apoi sa gasesc adresa din Buc unde trebuia sa ajung. Fara alte peripetii am reusit sa ajung la Chi, unde ma astepta o colega cu care am mers la apartament. In rest, o saptamana de bonheur : agentia e super calduroasa, am prins si un mini-cocktail de ziua barbatului si  am lucrat cu 2 echipe pe care le apreciez foarte mult DQ si SAFMD. Am plecat incarcata cu idei noi, mult pozitivism si o geanta de bomboane Bucuria.”

Séverine FILIPPI was the most inspired to share with us the notes of her travelogue, let’s welcome her to the club:

”Voici quelques infos, anecdotes suite à mes 2 voyages de Février et qqs photos
Donc mon premier voyage s’est déroulé du 1er au 8 Février. Je me suis d’abord rendue à Bucarest afin de rencontrer mon équipe (projet d’un client Allemand) et discuter avec mon CP de la partie “Project Management”. C’est durant ce moment qu’il y avait de fortes neiges en France, mais aussi en Roumanie. C’est donc dans un climat très froid (-15/20°C)  que je suis arrivée à Bucarest. J’ai été obligée d’acheter des bottes après-ski exprès (!!!!), mais le séjour à Bucarest s’est bien passé, très enrichissant. J’ai également eu la chance d’être à l’agence en même temps que le séminaire Virtual Fanatic. Donc, je ne me suis pas sentie vraiment seule et j’ai passé aussi d’excellentes soirées en compagnie de mes collègues français. J’ai également pu diner avec mon équipe dans un petit resto sympa et faire une bataille de boules de neige (un peu de team building et de décompression !!!).
Le samedi matin j’avais la chance de ne pas travailler et donc je suis allée me balader au centre commercial Baneasa. Je n’avais jamais vu de ma vie un centre commercial de cette taille, à part peut être aux Etats-Unis et pourtant je suis une adepte du shopping !!!! J’étais comme une gosse là bas mais peu de shopping (snif) car ma valise était déjà trop remplie
Le Dimanche a été une journée un peu plus galère. En effet, je devais partir de Bucarest pour me rendre à Cluj. Le vol devait être court moins d’heure et le temps passé à l’aéropport très bref. Mais la météo en a décidé autrement. Il a neigé à nouveau. Je suis arrivée à 10H du matin dans la zone de Vols domestisques et j’ai quitté la zone à 19H !!!! Les vols pour Iasi et Timisoara ont été annulés mais le vol pour Cluj a été maintenu. Jusqu’à la dernière minute j’y ai cru car en effet ils sont allés même jusqu’à nous faire embarquer dans le bus de transfert pour l’avion pour nous faire redescendre 5 mn après !!!!  Le meilleur est que Sophie devait prendre l’avion après moi et elle est donc arrivée à l’aéroport vers 17H30 au moment où j’allais embarquer. Au final nous avons pris le même vol !!!! A Cluj, à cause également de la météo en France, mais aussi de la grève prévue au même moment en France (bah oui sinon ce n’est pas marrant), nous n’étions pas sûres que notre client allait pouvoir venir à Cluj. Mais fort heureusement la chance était de notre côté. Nous avons donc passé 2 jours à l’agence de Cluj. Pendant 2 jours, les entretiens se sont enchaînés et nous avons également pu faire partager au client les spécialités roumaines. Merci à Pierre. Et que dire de ce petit “Paradis” à Cluj, super hôtel avec Spa, que j’ai bien sûr testé en nocturne !!!!

Le retour en France s’est passé sans encombre, malgré la grève. Merci à Voyages de m’avoir rassurée. Deux semaines après mon retour en France, j’ai d retourner à Bucarest.
Bilan - 3 jours positifs, beaucoup d’échanges entre le client et l’équipe ainsi qu’une réunion très professionnelle avec Petru, le client et moi même. Tout cela bien sûr accompagnés de restaurants et de dîners très agréables en continuant à découvrir les plats locaux. Durant ce 2ème séjour j’ai également pu séjourner dans le nouvel appartement Pentalog à 5mn à pied de l’agence de Bucarest. L’appart est top, 2 chambres, 2 salles de bain dont 1 privative avec baignoire à remous !!!!! Cuisine équipée. Juste très bien. Voilà à peu près mes expériences de voyage. Avec moi il se passe toujours quelque chose !!!! Voici quelques photos, avec même des photos de l’avion avec vue sur les Alpes.

 Hoping that you’ve enjoyed the descriptions of our adventurers, we pass slowly to another chapter less entertaining, but more useful, where we decided to come this time with an additional information for those who are going to visit exotic destinations, till now the bravest to try were the members of ST-Ericsson Team who already experienced India, China. This information is for them and not only:

” Namaste” – the traditional greeting in India, this gesture consists of pressing both palms together and placing them at chest level followed with a slight nod of your head, you should not bow. You can use this gesture to say good morning, afternoon, evening, and even good bye.

When you go to an Indian restaurant, beckoning a waiter is a little bit different. Never use one finger to point or call smb over. If you do that you may find some extra ingredients in your food. Just kidding Being a European you can wave your hand back and forth or up and down as you would say “Good bye”. So just keep that in mind.

When you get invited to a meal, always expect that it will be at the person’s house, please never arrive early, always be late! Because either you will stand outside the door for a while or people will look at you like you are crazy. The Indian natives will expect you to be 15-30 mins late.

All in all, there is no doubt that all your trips will have good and bad parts, the most important is that you have this chance that others only can dream about! In conclusion we can only add:
Pack your courage in your suitcase and your Service Voyages will take care so you have a wonderful trip!

P.S. “A traveler without observations is a bird without wings”… So go ahead and travel! Possess the World! Share with us and we’ll assure you a place in the next newsletter!

Thank you for traveling with us every day!

Pentalogly Yours,
Service Voyages!
