Béziers, le 26 septembre 2011 – Située au cœur de l’Hérault, entre mer, vignes et montagnes, la société PowerBoutique continue de progresser depuis sa création en 2001.

Cette aventure a débuté par la rencontre de 4 personnes avec l’envie d’inscrire, dans la durée, un projet technologique et humain. Aujourd’hui devenu le spécialiste de la création de sites Internet pour les entreprises, PowerBoutique compte 63 collaborateurs et ne cesse de nourrir de fortes ambitions de développement avec la volonté certaine de renforcer ses équipes.

Une croissance du chiffre d’affaires total de 71% en 2010,  et un panier moyen record atteignant les 224 € 

Béziers, le 9 mai 2011 – PowerBoutique, spécialiste de la création de sites internet pour les professionnels, dévoile aujourd’hui le volet régional dédié à la région Languedoc-Roussillon de son enquête annuelle sur l’activité e-commerce des entreprises de moins de 20 salariés. Les professionnels du Languedoc-Roussillon se distinguent par de forts taux de croissance de leur activité e-commerce. Cette croissance se matérialise notamment par une hausse considérable du chiffre d’affaires total en un an et par un panier moyen  de commande largement supérieur à la moyenne nationale. La cinquième édition de cette enquête nationale réalisée auprès de 2044 sites (toutes régions confondues) analyse l’impact du e-commerce en 2010 et révèle que le secteur de l’e-commerce se porte toujours très bien au niveau national.

 Des e-commerçants de la région Languedoc-Roussillon témoignent…

 ® Roch Fernandez et Claude Lestocard ont lancé leur e-boutique de produits de couture et broderie, Coudreetbroder.com, en novembre 2003.

 Roch Fernandez déclare : « Après avoir repris l’entreprise familiale en 1998, vingt ans après sa création, et par la volonté de dynamiser son activité, j’ai souhaité me lancer dans l’aventure du e-commerce avec mon associé, Claude Lestocard, rencontré sur les bancs de l’école de marketing. Nous avons lancé Coudreetbroder.com avec des objectifs de départ assez modestes, qui ont été largement dépassés. Coudreetbroder.com observe une augmentation de 20% de son chiffre d’affaires chaque année. Notre magasin traditionnel ainsi que notre e-boutique réalisent un chiffre d’affaires de 2 millions d’euros par an, dont 80% est porté par le site Coudreetbroder.com ! Il s’agit là d’une vraie expérience humaine, où notre seule volonté est d’avoir des salariés heureux et des clients entièrement satisfaits. »

 Selon Stéphane ESCOFFIER, Directeur Général de PowerBoutique, « On a trop souvent tendance à penser que les portes du e-commerce ne sont ouvertes qu’aux grandes entreprises. Notre enquête démontre précisément l’inverse : il y a un véritable potentiel de croissance de chiffre d’affaires pour toutes les entreprises, quelles que soient leur activité, leur effectif ou  leur implantation géographique. J’espère que les résultats de notre enquête pour la région Languedoc-Roussillon encourageront de nombreux professionnels  à ouvrir leur propre site Internet et profiter de ce marché du commerce électronique. »

Enquête nationale PowerBoutique 2011 

Des cyberacheteurs plus nombreux et plus matures au niveau national

 En phase avec la démocratisation de l’achat en ligne observée unanimement, l’enquête révèle un nombre de visiteurs des sites marchands en croissance de 69% par rapport à l’année précédente. 

 Elle s’accompagne d’une forte propension à l’achat en ligne des visiteurs nouvellement convertis, avec une hausse de 75% des transactions enregistrées.

 L’enquête indique en effet que, sur l’ensemble des sites étudiés, le nombre total de pages vues est en croissance de 48%, mais n’est pas proportionnel à la croissance du nombre de visiteurs. Ce chiffre, illustrant en réalité une légère diminution de pages vues par visiteur, témoigne de la maturité grandissante des internautes. De plus en plus familiers avec l’outil Internet, ils n’ont plus besoin de naviguer de longues heures pour parvenir à un acte d’achat.

 Autre signe de la familiarisation des internautes avec l’e-commerce, les commandes réglées par modes de paiement électronique ont continué d’augmenter, passant de 81% en 2009 à plus de 89% en 2010. Cette hausse s’explique également par l’apparition au cours de ces dernières années de nouvelles offres de paiement électronique (PayPal, ReceiveAndPay, etc.) et par la confiance grandissante des consommateurs dans l’achat sur le Net.

 Des petites entreprises françaises de mieux en mieux équipées et performantes sur le web

 Après plusieurs années consécutives de hausse du nombre des créations de sites Internet, on aurait pu s’attendre à une saturation du marché. Il n’en est rien. Le nombre de sites créés en 2010 est ainsi en augmentation de 29% par rapport à l’année précédente, représentant une évolution totalement en phase avec les chiffres de la FEVAD. Les TPE-PME continuent donc de se lancer aussi massivement que les grandes entreprises dans l’e-commerce.

 Malgré l’intensfication de la concurrence sur Internet et la morosité de la conjoncture économique, le chiffre d’affaires total des sites étudiés reste très prometteur, en hausse de 62% par rapport à 2009.

 Pour Stéphane ESCOFFIER, « Les professionnels français sont encore largement sous-équipés en site internet mais rattrapent progressivement leur retard, à fortiori en site marchand. Les taux élevés d’équipement observés ne sont donc pas étonnants. Nul doute  qu’ils devraient encore se confirmer au cours des prochaines années. ». 

 Le panier moyen s’élève quant à lui à 125 euros, enregistrant une très légère baisse d’environ 8% par rapport à 2009. Cette baisse est due au fait que le secteur du e-commerce est extrêmement concurrentiel, poussant à une stabilisation, voire à une réduction des prix.

 Les progrès enregistrés par les entreprises sont notamment dus à une professionnalisation des sites de e-commerce. Ces derniers utilisent de plus en plus le référencement, des têtes de gondole, des animations en homepage, etc. qui attirent directement l’attention des internautes sur les produits phares. Les innovations techniques dont ils se sont équipés ont également joué un rôle (utilisation des réseaux sociaux, etc.).

 Selon Stéphane ESCOFFIER, Directeur Général de PowerBoutique, « Pour être efficaces, les professionnels savent aujourd’hui qu’un site e-commerce doit répondre aux mêmes exigences qu’un commerce physique : au-delà du savoir-faire commercial, il faut être visible, savoir mettre en avant les bon produits, offrir un catalogue clair et attractif. Notre société s’inscrit dans une logique de partenaire au long cours de nos clients, en veillant à ce que chaque site réalisé respectent ces fondamentaux de la réussite e-commerce.».

 Enfin, il est à noter que, pour les sites étudiés, le chiffre d’affaires lié à l’export est stable, représentant toujours 11% du chiffre d’affaires total. 72% des entreprises étudiées ont une activité à l’export, qui représente encore un nouvel accroissement de la zone de chalandise des e-commerçants.

 PowerBoutique propose un programme d’accompagnement très personnalisé de chaque client. Le nouveau e-commerçant est accompagné par un Chef de projet dédié qui l’aide à optimiser son site Internet et favoriser ainsi le développement de son activité économique. Des mises à jour sont également apportées régulièrement au logiciel de création de sites pour faire en sorte que chaque e-boutique soit la plus performante possible (référencement, animation commerciale, etc.).

Méthodologie

 Parmi les milliers de sites e-commerce utilisant le service PowerBoutique à ce jour, 2044 ont été retenus pour les besoins de l’enquête nationale. Les critères de sélection de cet échantillon représentatif sont les suivants :

- 12 mois consécutifs d’activité entre le 1^er janvier et le 31 décembre 2010

- l’entreprise propriétaire du site ne compte pas plus de 20 salariés

 Les résultats de cette enquête sont le fruit d’un traitement statistique des données d’activité directement extraites de la plateforme technique de Doyousoft, laquelle héberge l’intégralité des sites e-commerce réalisés avec PowerBoutique. Les tendances publiées sont obtenues en comparant les résultats de l’année 2010 par rapport à ceux de l’année 2009 (du 1^er janvier au 31 décembre). Sont considérés comme exportateurs, les sites ayant validé au moins une commande avec une adresse de livraison localisée en dehors du territoire de France Métropolitaine.

 Ce volet de l’étude provient de l’analyse de la région Languedoc-Roussillon découlant des statistiques nationales, finalisée mi-mars 2010. Plus d’une centaine de sites e-commerce ont été étudiés pour la région Languedoc-Roussillon. ]]> http://wellcom.fr/presse/sun-microsystems/2011/05/les-entreprises-du-languedoc-roussilon-parmi-les-plus-dynamiques-en-matiere-de-e-commerce/feed/ 0 http://wellcom.fr/presse/sun-microsystems/2010/04/a-propos/ http://wellcom.fr/presse/sun-microsystems/2010/04/a-propos/#comments Wed, 21 Apr 2010 11:05:19 +0000 admin http://wellcom.fr/presse/sun-microsystems/?p=3 Une vision originale – “The Network Is The Computer” – conduit Sun à élaborer des technologies participant au développement des principales industries mondiales.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. December 17, 2009 As part of its overall strategy to help customers and partners build public and private clouds that are open and interoperable, Sun Microsystems, Inc. (NASDAQ: JAVA) today unveiled innovative open source cloud security capabilities and announced support for the latest Security Guidance from the Cloud Security Alliance. For more information on Sun’s Cloud Security initiatives, visit www.sun.com/cloud/security.

Sun is steadfast in its commitment to providing best practices and technologies that help users safeguard their critical data in the enterprise and in the cloud. The introduction of Sun’s Cloud Security architectural building blocks will help deliver enterprise-grade cloud services that are highly secure, available and easily manageable when used in public, private or hybrid cloud environments. Leveraging the built-in security capabilities of Sun’s Solaris Operating Systems, including Solaris ZFS and Solaris Containers, the security tools help in securing data in transit, data at rest, and data in use in the cloud, and work with cloud offerings from leading vendors including Amazon and Eucalyptus.

Along with introducing new security tools today, Sun also announced support for the Cloud Security Alliance’s “Guidance for Critical Areas of Focus in Cloud Computing – Version 2.1.” Sun privacy and security experts have been instrumental in the industry-wide effort to develop the security guidance and have been active participants in the Cloud Security Alliance since its inception. The new framework provides more concise and actionable guidance for secure adoption of cloud computing, and encompasses knowledge gained from real world deployments. For more information, visit www.cloudsecurityalliance.org/guidance.

“Sun’s technologies, best practices and work with leading industry organizations like the Cloud Security Alliance help provide our customers and partners with a framework for securing data in cloud environments,” said Lew Tucker, CTO, Cloud Computing, Sun Microsystems.

Sun also published a new white paper, “Building Customer Trust in Cloud Computing with Transparent Security,” that provides an overview of transparent security and the ways in which intelligent disclosure of security design, practices and procedures can help improve customer confidence while protecting critical security features and data, improving overall governance. To download the paper, visit:

www.sun.com/offers/details/sun_transparency.xml.

“Security remains one of the major concerns for enterprise customers moving to the cloud,” said Glenn Brunette, Distinguished Engineer and Chief Security Architect, Sun Microsystems. “Sun’s new security tools will help address several of these fundamental issues and enable customers to realize the benefits of cloud computing while also managing risk and safeguarding critical assets.”

Sun today announced availability for several open source Cloud Security tools including:

• OpenSolaris VPC Gateway: Provides customers with greater choice and flexibility when connecting their systems to the Amazon Virtual Private Cloud.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. December 15, 2009 Sun Microsystems, Inc. (NASDAQ: JAVA) today announced the completion of its identity management portfolio update with the availability of a new, fine-grained entitlement enforcement engine, as part of OpenSSO Express 9, for both enterprise and extranet deployments and a next-generation directory proxy server, as part of Sun OpenDS Standard Edition 2.2, for rapid, horizontal and on-demand scaling. For more information visit: http://www.sun.com/identity.

“With the release of Sun’s fine-grained entitlement enforcement engine and next-generation directory proxy server, Sun has completed its 2009 portfolio update and has added a high-scaling, standards-based entitlement enforcement solution and a next generation proxy server to our arsenal of capabilities,” said Daniel Raskin, chief identity strategist at Sun. “Innovative functionality such as granular security controls combined with the ability to quickly augment infrastructure performance keeps Sun well-positioned as a leading provider of large-scale identity management solutions.”

“With its new OpenSSO and OpenDS releases, Sun shows a continued emphasis on security and performance capabilities needed to secure enterprise, extranet and cloud infrastructure,” said Felix Gaehtgens, senior analyst from Kuppinger Cole. “We are particularly encouraged to see Sun’s new fine-grained authorization solution in OpenSSO. Other vendor offerings are typically offered as a standalone products and do not integrate easily with web access management. Sun now stands out as the only vendor to now offer a consolidated platform that provides web access management, federation, secure web services, and fine-grained entitlement enforcement in a single application. Also, in the latest OpenDS release, Sun has finally added LDAP proxy features that focus on integrating identities from multiple sources – making it easier for enterprises to deploy next generation directory services.”

Fine-Grained Entitlement Enforcement Engine

The new fine-grained entitlement enforcement engine is a key component of OpenSSO Express 9, which allows customers to externalize authorization for any resource – web application, custom application, web service or client application. The entitlement enforcement engine was designed to not only support enterprise deployments, but also provide mass-scale extranet deployments with a complete off the shelf, standards-based solution that can externalize authorization for more than 100 million users.

With this new feature, OpenSSO Express 9 becomes the only access management solution to provide access management, federation, secure web services, multi-factor authentication and fine-grained entitlement enforcement in a single product. This enables administrators and developers to deploy, maintain and use a single application for authentication and authorization. In addition, OpenSSO Express 9 provides customers with a single end-point to handle policy for all resources, which helps to simplify the audit and certification of business applications via a central audit log for all access activity – internal applications, partner applications, cloud applications and web services.

Next-Generation Directory Proxy Server

The new directory proxy server is a key component of OpenDS Standard Edition 2.2, which can be used to extend Sun Directory Server Enterprise Edition to rapidly and cost-effectively scale a customer’s infrastructure horizontally, based on demand. It makes it even easier for customers to proactively maintain up-time as activity increases with a “global index” to help easily distribute and balance loads – based on factors such as any identity attribute or based on a traffic distribution algorithms. The next-generation directory proxy server can help customers easily and effectively meet variable demand events, such as adding additional capacity during the holiday season, or distribute load based on regional demand to accommodate increases in authentication. The new and improved installer provides user experience improvements that can install, configure and deploy either a core directory server or directory proxy in six clicks or less.

Sun Completes 2009 Identity Management Portfolio Update

The release of Sun’s new Fine-Grained entitlement enforcement engine in OpenSSO Express 9 and next generation directory proxy server in OpenDS 2.2, completes a update of Sun’s market leading identity management portfolio. In 2009, Sun released the following products:

SANTA CLARA, Calif. December 15, 2009 Sun Microsystems, Inc. (NASDAQ: JAVA) today announced that it has won judgments against a U.S. counterfeiter of Sun’s products and a U.K. violator of Sun’s trademarks.

In the U.S. case, Sun obtained a federal court judgment against Joe Faris, the primary owner of Sun Valley Technical Repair which was a major counterfeiter of Sun products. The judgment resolves Sun’s long-standing litigation against Faris and Sun Valley Technical Repair, and requires Faris to cooperate with Sun as well as make a substantial monetary payment. Faris continues to be subject to potential criminal sanctions for his activities. Sun has invited customers who believe that they may have purchased counterfeit product to contact Sun for a free evaluation of their products’ provenance.

Safeguarding Business Through Market Integrity

In the U.K. case, Sun obtained summary judgment in the U.K. High Court of Justice against British firm M-Tech Data. The High Court of Justice ruled that M-Tech infringed Sun’s registered trademarks by importing Sun product into the European Economic Area without authorization. In addition to entering an injunction against M-Tech, the High Court has ordered the company to provide Sun with disclosure of M-Tech’s activities.

These judgments reflect strong efforts by Sun to protect its intellectual property rights. “Sun is committed to aggressively pursuing those who violate Sun’s intellectual property rights and threaten its market integrity,” said Bill Mooz, Legal Director, Sun Microsystems. “Intellectual property theft can take many forms, including the counterfeiting of hardware, the copying and use of software without a license, and representing products or services as genuine when they are not backed by Sun. All of these acts not only tarnish Sun’s brand, but also can put users of Sun products in the terrible position of depending upon inferior or unlicensed technology in mission-critical environments — without proper warranty or support.”

The Faris and M-Tech Data cases represent only a fraction of the multiple actions that Sun has pending in courts around the globe against parties suspected of infringing Sun’s intellectual property rights. In addition to initiating civil actions against those who violate its market integrity policies, Sun cooperates actively with prosecutorial authorities in any criminal investigation involving the potential infringement of Sun’s intellectual property rights. “Sun has invested billions of dollars in its products and the Sun brand, and Sun’s authorized partners have augmented those investments with their own money,” said Mike Dillon, Executive Vice President and General Counsel, Sun Microsystems. “We are resolutely committed to protecting those investments and the value of Sun’s brand.”

SANTA CLARA, Calif. December 10, 2009 Sun Microsystems, Inc. (NASDAQ: JAVA) and the NetBeans developer community today announced the availability of the NetBeans Integrated Development Environment (IDE) 6.8, the first IDE to provide complete support for the Java Platform Enterprise Edition 6 (Java EE 6) and Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server v3, as well as other innovative new features. Developers can download the NetBeans IDE 6.8 at www.netbeans.org.

With complete Java EE 6 and GlassFish v3 support, the NetBeans IDE 6.8 makes language and platform improvements easily available to developers and helps accelerate application development. The NetBeans IDE 6.8 enables developers to take advantage of the latest Java EE 6 language features that simplify Java application creation, including POJO-like development, more annotations and less XML configuration. Additionally, developers can easily target and deploy to GlassFish v3, including the new lightweight GlassFish v3 Web Profile.

“With this new NetBeans release, Sun continues its commitment to delivering open source developer tools,” said Jim Parkinson, vice president of Developer Products and Programs, Sun Microsystems. “Java EE 6 and GlassFish v3 enable developers to create enterprise applications more easily and with less code, significantly speeding application development and deployment.”

Along with support for Java EE 6 and GlassFish v3, the NetBeans IDE 6.8 offers other new features and improvements including:

• Expanded PHP Support: Expands support of dynamic languages with support for PHP 5.3 and the Symfony framework speeds development of PHP Web applications

• Tighter Integration with Project Kenai: Project Kenai, a collaborative environment for hosting open-source projects, now delivers full support for JIRA and improved instant messenger and issue tracker integration. For more information visit www.kenai.com.

• Improved C/C ++ Profiling: Profile and tune C/C++ applications with the new Microstate Accounting indicator and I/O usage monitor

• JavaFX: Improved code completion, hints and navigation for JavaFX in the NetBeans editor

The NetBeans 6.8 IDE also provides improved support for JSF 2.0/Facelets, Java Persistence 2.0, EJB 3.1 including using EJBs in Web applications and RESTful Web services, as well as improvements to the NetBeans Platform. The NetBeans platform is a Rich Client Platform that developers use to shave years off of development time by reusing the modular NetBeans architecture. The platform uses Swing, which is the standard UI toolkit, enabling applications to have a consistent look and feel.

The NetBeans IDE is a free, open-source Integrated Development Environment for software developers. It provides all the tools needed to create professional desktop, enterprise, web, and mobile applications with the Java language, JavaFX, C/C++, and dynamic languages such as PHP, JavaScript, Groovy, and Ruby. The NetBeans IDE is easy to install and use straight out of the box and runs on Windows, Linux, Mac OS X and Solaris.

In addition to the various features in the NetBeans IDE, developers also have access to a wide range of plugins provided by NetBeans partners and the community that supports NetBeans IDE 6.8. Jaspersoft is a leading provider of business intelligence solutions. “With the launch of NetBeans IDE 6.8, we are pleased to continue serving the NetBeans community with the leading open source business intelligence solution,” said Jose Morales, vice president of Business Development, Jaspersoft. “With the iReport visual report designer, available as a standalone NetBeans platform rich client or as the most downloaded plug-in for Netbeans, developers today can easily incorporate business intelligence solutions into their enterprise applications.”

The NetBeans platform, used by developers around the world to develop a wide variety of rich clients, continues to garner the attention of the developer community. Microchip is a leading provider of microcontrollers, analog semiconductors, and development tools for embedded designs. “Microchip sees great potential for the embedded developer base in the new NetBeans IDE 6.8 release,” said Derek Carlson, vice president, Development Tools, Microchip Technology. “While other open source IDE frameworks have grown cumbersome and required significant customization for the embedded market over the past 2+ decades, NetBeans 6.8 delivers a fully capable, modern, lightweight and flexible platform for future embedded IDEs.”

Sun also offers a tiered set of developer support services for its software offerings, ranging from single incident to comprehensive developer plans.
