In this workshop, we will illustrate
some of the challenges faced when
building a fast growing software company selling in the B2B arena.
Created 4 years ago, Esterel Technologies indeed develops and sell
development tools for the design of electronic systems and real time
embedded software in Aerospace & Defense, Automotive, Semiconductor
and consumer electronics; based on unique technologies initially
developed in academia in France.
Beginning with a brief overview of
the market, opportunities
(especially in North America) and value proposal, we will discuss some
of the cultural differences between Europe and USA that makes the
investment and deployment in USA of European software companies, both a
risk and an opportunity and how to overcome them.
Time for experience sharing and
discussion will be left for after the presentation.

Outsourced Payroll and Human Resources
- Julia Merrill
The purpose of this workshop is to educate the group on the
cost-effectiveness and ease of outsourcing payroll, HR and benefits to
a group of experts. Intuit's products have been an integral part of
many companies, with 85% of small businesses in the U.S. using
QuickBooks for their accounting system. Intuit's fully outsourced
solution for payroll and benefits integrates seamlessly with our
software, allowing for a totally paperless and secure operation. |
| We
would like to thank Jerome De Vasconcelos Mota for his significant
contribution to the InterFrench community and help him to find a job as
a computer programmer. Jerome has been volunteering to InterFrench and
built our executives online directory in just a few weeks using Php and
MySQL. He is reliable, hard-worker, a fast-learner and a pleasure to
work with! He just graduated from San Jose State with a computer
science degree and has only 2 months left to find a job here. |
