Autodesk aims to be the ‘Spotify’ software – FORTUNE

MEXICO CITY (CNNExpansión) – The subscription business model that technology companies like Spotify, Netflix or Adobe have received as a distribution channel for its products, it has attracted the attention of the specialized 3D software company Autodesk, which as of February 1, will begin working with this structure in its various services.

Roberto Mikse, CEO of Autodesk Mexico, spoke exclusively with this change CNNExpansión . He said that at the beginning of the second month of 2016, the company directed in Mexico will stop selling perpetual licenses to migrate to a business model called Desktop Subscription .

“ It allows the customer to purchase a subscription for seasons . That is, if you have a project that lasts six months, only a subscription is sufficient for that time; if your project runs, you extend your subscription time you require, “explained the manager.

Traditionally, this company offers perpetual licenses services with which it works, as the case of Autocad software , which is used by most engineers. However, in recent years, already has a hybrid model of selling these.

The decision said Mikse, part of a new way to reach different customers working with company. He said that this adjustment to its business plan, will revolutionize not only the economy of companies, but how to use technology.

“You see it, Spotify, Pandora, this type of service they are looking for everybody’s use, at the end of the day is the trend of software companies. If you enter the virtual stores this technology already exists in the hands of any individual, from a child to a master engineer, “said the manager.

And this business model has brought benefits to platforms of all types, ranging from musicals to firms offering software services. In a comparative, so far in May 2014 to date, the Spotify music platform , has had an increase of 40 million users, which positions with nearly 75 million active users, 20 million of them in the model of pay according to official figures from the firm.

Under this premise, Autodesk seeks to “democratize technology” and put it in the hands of everyone and anyone with a 3D printer at home to work in a personalized way and that she does his things.

“It’s the trend, we are experiencing what could be the third industrial revolution in the subject of technology, behavioral changes in consumption and production processes.”

An issue of legality

The development of this model will bring benefits to the misuse of services from Autodesk, as it will pay only a proportional to the time users take up services for their projects amount.

“With the evolution of this model, allow pay for the time they deem companies, users or engineers , but as It was perhaps an inaccessible for some people price, taking the use of technology in an illegal manner. It will allow them to access this technology legally and that the continued use without having that problem. “

At the level of universities and schools, a couple of years Autodesk decided that all the technology is free for universities and professors, but for non-commercial educational use.

Software will overcome “chaotic situation” in the INCA – Montevideo Portal (press release) (Registration) (blog)

No less

The National Cancer Institute began using a software that systematized approval of treatments and allows monitoring the results. Its director, Alvaro Luongo told Montevideo Portal that progress will bridge the “chaotic situation” a few years ago.

In 2011 when Dr. Alvaro Luongo took over as president of the National Cancer Institute found “a very chaotic situation” surrounding the implementation of cancer treatments. Authorizations treatments were done “manually” by allocating medical exclusively to these tasks without the possibility of making an accurate follow-up treatments.

“Sometimes we distributed oncology drugs between the centers and returned us most of those who had sent them, “he recalls now Luongo, days after the INCA submit a new software that will allow the body to have a much tighter control on the distribution of drugs and cancer treatments.

In addition to the inefficiency associated with older protocols, lack of controls that caused even some cancer drugs high cost–all came to expire without being administered to patients.

“The first thing we did was increase controls to minimize those risks, and change for cold storage refrigerators with more control system, “said Luongo to Montevideo Portal.

That was the genesis of the process that culminated last week with the presentation of “Oncotherapy” a drug-surveillance sotware already started to be used in the INCA and will be progressively extended to all cancer centers around the country.

Luongo said the computer system “only authorize a plan appropriate treatment if the patient’s weight and size and the type of tumor being treated. ” Otherwise, the program automatically contacts the treating physician with authorizing treatment unit, to analyze the case.

According to the hierarch, the system saves time because so far the authorizations made one by one. Now, if the proposed treatment is within the correct parameters, “you are automatically authorized.” On average, the INCA must approve protocols about 2000 per month, 90% of which, according Luongo- could be approved automatically.

The criteria used by the program to determine whether a treatment is well planned or were not designed by the chair of Oncology, Faculty of Medicine.

Luongo said that besides improving efficiency in the administration of treatments, the new system “reduces the risk of errors indication and dosing of cancer drugs. “

Even the software enables doctors to track patients and detecting at each stage” if there are complications “or” positive “patient. If the results are not as expected, the same system enables the physician requesting a change in treatment. According to Luongo, doctors took far more to check the response of patients and evaluate the effectiveness of each medication.

The last of the functionality of the program is the accumulation of statistics. All data on treatments and emerging diseases will be sent automatically to the Honorary Commission to Fight Cancer. There are other tasks that until now had to be done manually, because the commission was “fetching” data on a regular basis.

Luongo held that software cost about $ 12,000, although the first presupuestaciones indicated a cost of more than 250,000. The price difference, he explained, was an important donation received by the institute and the work of several professional fee.

Software as north – infonews

The Chamber of Software and Computer Services of Argentina (CESSI) had this week its gala evening with the delivery of the Sadosky Awards, which aim to recognize talent applied to technological innovation and social contribution to reduce the digital divide, promote the use of new technologies and contribute to the growth of the sector.

It is a sector that enjoys very good health, but does not exceed a problem.

In August 2011, this newspaper published an article entitled “The software industry is growing and no longer satisfy the programmers”. There was said that it was not appropriate to speak of software boom, but to show that universities reach not meet the demand required by industry experts. A note from the journalist Debora Slotnisky published in July and awarded yesterday, reports a similar picture: “The industry still has about 5,000 jobs to be filled (per year) The deficit brings another problem. Students early college years are already summoned by companies and many dropouts to grow as employees. ” There were efforts to remedy this lack, state and private. In its report for 2011/15, the Foundation Sadosky counted more than 25 thousand children received programming classes, and a total of 166,946 persons tested the challenges posed in http://program.ar. Other initiatives are implemented Dale OK program which teaches through a fun tool for creating animations and video games- or site www.estudiarcomputacion.gob.ar have to see how it starts to apply in the country Resolution of the Federal Council of Education established the teaching and learning of programming in schools as a strategic aspect. State policy

As yesterday told Time Santiago Ceria, executive director of the Foundation Sadosky. “We want to make the ICT sector to produce the higher value added and this requires connecting businesses with the system scientific, with people that expands the frontier of knowledge for truly innovative productions. That’s what has to be done in this and all industries in the country to help achieve greater value added. “

Richard Stallman promotes use of free software – NTR Zacatecas .com

The so-called “father of the Free Software” worldwide, Richard Stallman, was visiting Zacatecas to impart the conference “Free Software Movement and GNU Operating System” for students of the Engineering Systems, teachers and directors of the Unit of Development Studies at the Autonomous University of Zacatecas.

Creator of the GNU operating system (meaning GNU’s Not Unix) and project leader of the same name, offered his experience and knowledge as reinforcement of purpose has said academic unit to use, in all areas, only free software.

During his speech, Stallman explained that” the purpose of all proprietary software is to sell; Each of these represents substantial amounts of money for owners. “

He added that the concern is not that, but people are not informed about what is the implementation of free software, not so much money, but the functionality of such an important tool today.

In this regard he noted that programs that use Apple and Microsoft are “digital shackles” looking to hook users a series of programs that have expiration date implicitly, forcing them to continue in the marketing of its updates.

In addition to become oppressors of the flow of all information, which should be free.

Also, Stallman explained that free software is not one which is free, but represent different things, as the free programs can be obtained from cyber platforms, but can not change part of them.

While free software such as Linux at the beginning represents a cost, but can be played any number of times, plus it gives the possibility of modifications Give you.

Cancun, QR. The National Chamber of the Electronics Industry of Telecommunications and Information Technology (Canieti) promotes Cuban authorities to install software maquiladoras on the island, as the US market demands more work of this type in Mexico each time failed cater for lack of engineers and “mind of skilled labor”.

Mark Erosa Cardenas, leader of the Canieti in Quintana Roo, said the proposal was made to the delegation of Cuba, who was in Cancun same week for a business meeting attended by the ambassador himself, Dagoberto Rodriguez Barrera, and a delegation of officials involved in foreign investment in the island.

Erosa Cardenas said from Cancun already maquila software for the US, Canada and UK, taking advantage of the proximity to North America, the largest consumer of software worldwide, but the demand is huge and has not qualified to make long stays in Mexico maquiladora companies staff Americans are sending to China and India.

Currently, he said, the ICT industry employs 1, 000 engineers only in Quintana Roo and supports internationally renowned companies that have based their development technological designs made by Mexicans, as BestDay or PriceTravel.

That is, there is the expertise and vision to capture this billion dollar industry, but the country is not generating the necessary professionals to seize the opportunity.

That is why we raised the Cuban delegation that came this week to present the business opportunities that are opening on the island, such as the ability to open software maquilas in Cuba, taking advantage of the training of engineers annually graduate from Cuban universities.

There is the installation of production lines, he said, it is intellectual work to develop specific programs for various industries in both the US and Canada.

The ability to install these maquilas on the island would give Mexican companies the ability to leverage lower production costs compared to what today means maquilar software in Mexico, where wages are high for this sector.

The Cuban delegation offered the National Chamber of the Electronics Industry of Telecommunications and Information Technology study the proposal; however, they advanced the field of information technology are included in the economic sectors in which the island is open to private investment.

Massive use of free software – La Razon (Bolivia)

According to Jean Bodin, sovereignty is “absolute and perpetual power of a republic”; and sovereign is who has the power of decision, of giving without receiving other laws. -Resume Sovereignty lawyer Jorge Machicado- is the political will that has a people with a right to make decisions to determine, demonstrate, and make decisions independent of outside powers.

Even so The State Constitution (CPE) in its seventh article establishes that sovereignty resides in the Bolivian people and is exercised directly; is inalienable, indefeasible, indivisible, inalienable and non-delegable, and she emanates the functions and powers of public authority.

The technology is defined as the set of knowledge and techniques, applied orderly and logical manner, enable humans to modify their material or virtual environment to meet their needs, that is, a combined process of thought and action in order to create useful solutions.

Therefore, in a first approach, one can say that technological sovereignty is the exercise of sovereign authority of the Bolivian people on the set of technological knowledge to enable you to produce any virtual or real object to meet the needs of the population.

On the technological sovereignty in the field of software, Ramon Ramon writes: “it is the State that has control of technology, not technology or applications (made by companies) those with state control. ” Therefore, “the programs, applications, technologies, etc., must be at the service of citizens and states, not vice versa.”

Under these concepts, we should analyze the technological sovereignty framed in science and innovation, considering that the process of development of a society that before depended largely on human labor today day increasingly associated to different areas of technology. In the process of building technological sovereignty in the Plurinational State of Bolivia can be analyzed two cases:

Software. When the use of proprietary software is promoted, the society must question from the transfer of the management of information and communication technologies, information systems, to third countries through its software companies and the loss of control over data . sensitive state

Therefore, a measure of technological sovereignty is the use of free software, characterized by the four freedoms: 1) freedom to run the program for any purpose; 2) The freedom to study how the program and the ability to adapt according to user needs (access to program source code is a precondition for this) works; 3) the freedom to distribute copies as an act of solidarity with others; and 4) the freedom to improve the program, and release those improvements, so the whole community benefits.

As a state policy to support the use of free software, it has a broad regulatory structure that extends from the Telecommunications Law and Information and Communication Technologies (Act 164), supreme decrees until the 2514 regulatory Decree that creates the Agency of Electronic Government and Information and Communication Technologies (AGETIC), a body that has among its tasks the implementation of plans of migration to free software.

Scientific Citadel. Scientific research requires specialized structures, one of which is the Scientific Citadel; to write about the importance of this undertaking must define some concepts: research is a process by applying the scientific method seeks information to understand, verify, correct or apply knowledge.

Scientific research is organized search for knowledge or solutions to scientific problems; the method indicates the path that has to move in that investigation and the techniques needed how to follow it.

Basic research is characterized as part of a theoretical framework and remains in him; the aim is to formulate new theories or modify existing ones, to increase the scientific and philosophical knowledge, but contrast them with any practical aspect.

Applied research, characterized by the pursuit of application or use of the knowledge acquired. Applied research is closely associated with basic research, it depends on the results and progress of the latter.

About Alvaro Arnez, Deputy Minister of Industrialization of Scientific Hydrocarbons Citadel writes that will “research laboratories in technological application areas in Bolivia, as (being) the exploration of hydrocarbons, petrochemicals, telecommunications, mining, medicine, evaporite resources, etc., and a business incubator to promote scientific findings at the enterprise level, coordinating with strategic state enterprises. “

Therefore, it is expected that the Scientific Citadel become a major accelerator of basic and applied research with business and industry, if is added to the process of technological sovereignty, the conditions for its own technological development of Bolivia reports.

Technology Unit. It is one of opposites concepts to technological sovereignty, can bring the case to the industrialization of lithium, limited initiative poles foreign research, which require payment for the use of patent knowledge to industrialize that commodity and oblige the State to disburse enormous resources to generate its own technology

On the subject, says Luis Arce, current Minister of Economy and Public Finance. “The technological sovereignty is key to a country, produces technology (in) Europe and countries like China, Japan, the United States, where small states are makers of technology. You can not talk about a release if there is a technological liberation “and continues,” Bolivia has many natural resources, but are dependent on technology to explore and exploit. “

Now The realization of technological sovereignty requires a change in the collective thinking of society, to assume the task of short and medium-term transition based on primary export pattern to a knowledge-based economy economy.

This change demands as initial task (among others), improving the educational system in general and particularly in the public and private university system, so that its goals include training research scientists with high international standard management capabilities in research and development and innovation.

IPN students develop software to combat obesity – Aristeguinoticias

In order to combat the high incidence of overweight in the country, students of the National Polytechnic Institute (IPN) created the Assistant Fitness and software Vital sign monitoring for people with this problem.

The virtual program assist people with obesity in implementing an exercise routine, previously supervised by a doctor or specialist.

students Jesus Hernandez Vargas and Isaac Garcia Reynoso of UPIITA (UPIITA) detailed above through a statement Polytechnic.

The creators of software engineering telematics explained that the system has a natural interface, through the Kinect device allows the person handling the application using their body movements.

The exercises in this routine were defined based on proposals of the National Commission of Physical Culture and Sport (CONADE), which were monitored by doctors of the National Polytechnic Institute.

The software features three indispensable elements: the Kinect device, which is programmed to detect body movements of the user; module that monitors heart rate heart pulses, and a computer that processes information received by the motion sensor.

This system is developed so that the Kinect sensor device detects the environment where the exercise, it can be a room or hall is made

The software includes four exercises. jogging, jump, move your feet alternately on the sides and movement body side, allowing joint care. Each routine lasts 40 minutes, 10 each.

When performing the exercises, the system display shows the person executing the movements, and if such activity is performed correct some of the indicators turn green and others remain red to serve as a benchmark. (With information from Notimex )
