For a little more than 2 years now, I've been telecommuting 2 days a week, it's true that it changes your life and what about the extra efficiency when you need calm and concentration during certain stages of the design ...
For me the choice is made on the use of a laptop with license borrowing, all my SW settings files are on my local hard drive so that I can be completely autonomous if needed. I have access to Epdm via the VPN and I only feel a slight slowdown during loading, extraction, backup and archiving operations but it is true that my internet connection is really good ... I have tested the remote control of my workstation which is on site but I find that the slowdowns when displaying are more restrictive and tiring than this slight slowdown when accessing the files present in Epdm.
And as remrem says, a place dedicated to work, defined schedules and communication tools to stay in touch and it's rolling...
@clémentine and yes never seen good weather for so long... It just goes to show that the Breton climate is only a consequence.... I would like nature to take back its rights as well , it will unfortunately only be short-lived... And if you love Brittany so much, don't hesitate to drop by, we'll go and drink a binouse;p
I have been working from home for 10 years apart from the time it takes to set up at the customer's site. On the other hand, for customers, they have a hard time with videoconferencing, but with mobile phones, which are in fact waterproof compared to their IS, it is starting to improve.
As for the Cloud, it's NO, NO and NO, it's a vast scam, certainly nice on the surface.
Otherwise, you might as well host all your business directly to the NSA or send all your trade secrets to American companies, to name but a few. We must not lose sight of all the losses or theft of information even in companies normally protected Sony, goat's buttock, etc...). Not to mention for the past three years the ransomware or spyware that has led many companies to bankruptcy directly or indirectly and to permanently block institutions or production. (See information from cybersecurity companies and the hiring boom in this sector.)
Another scam disguised as "we do you a favor" is what is also called the syndrome of added value and recurring turnover. You go to the cloud to supposedly save money, but this mostly makes you captive and dependent on cloud software and files hosted in the cloud. Turning back the clock is painful and dangerous. For what gain? none! but with hidden additional costs. Look at how few mid-caps, VSEs, and SMEs are on the cloud and it's not a lack of dynamism or archaism but simply by the real lack of service (no significant VA) and by mistrust of the competition.
Obviously, in large companies, this means outsourcing part of the IS (especially for very, very large data consumers), which is supposed to reduce costs by refocusing on their core business. Anything that is not related to what we produce or sell is not essential, so we reduce peripheral functions and support functions.
So to conclude, really look at how many companies are on the cloud compared to the number of companies in Europe and you will see that it is very few despite the hype that is made around it.
I filled out your form but I found it a little light in terms of the answers on the impact of covid19.
I think that instead of putting a binary answer (impacted/not impacted), putting an answer on a scale from 1 to 10 would be more interesting.
I take the example of our case in the company:
Covid 19 has had an impact on our suppliers and therefore on our parts supply. (So because of that I'm forced to answer "yes" to the question), but in reality that's the only impact we've had.
We are a manufacturer of forestry equipment, which means that we equip trucks and manufacture trailers that are intended to transport logs on the road. As we do almost everything in-house, we are not really dependent on others. Since the supply of raw materials (sheets, tubes, etc.) is maintained, then we can continue to build our equipment.
Of the 35 employees that we are, only 3 are absent.
As far as the design office is concerned, there are two of us, and we are physically present in the company. In the SME that we are, the design office also has to go into the workshop to take measurements, test prototypes or monitor the progress of the work, so it's complicated to set up teleworking for us.
TL; DR: We are very little impacted by the COVID19 thanks to the fact that we manufacture a lot in-house and that we have a fairly large stock of parts to deal with this crisis.
@i will survive: thank you for participating! I see that the design offices have been able to adapt quickly and continue to work without any problems!
@froussel: great thank you for the questionnaire. Same a good adaptation to you perfect.
@d.Roger: Thank you very much for sharing your remote work habits, it's very rewarding! I must say that I myself really appreciate the calm of teleworking! Efficiency ++++
@zozo_mp: Thank you very much for your feedback! This is a great subject that is just waiting to be debated! It could be very interesting to compare points of view. Personally I have all my data on the Cloud, since I broke 2 external hard drives and lost everything :D
@fabcamp: I went all around Brittany last summer, starting with Saint-Malo, then I went along all the coasts, crossed the islands, until I reached a beautiful city in Brittany: Nantes! Lol I'm teasing, I know it's quite a controversy the attachment of Nantes. Great weather for 15 days, I've never tanned so much. Super nice people, Breton specialties at the top. I will be back with great pleasure!
@Gauthik67: Thank you for participating! I completely understand the remark. I am delighted that your company is not impacted for the time being, which is excellent news and reassures about the state of health of the industrial sectors.
@ac cobra 247: you are developing your skills as a teacher it's great, you will soon be able to give SW training;) Indeed, I am no longer so present in Lynkoa, I take care of the entire digital presence of the Visiativ Solutions division, especially visiativ-solutions.fr. In any case, I'm doing great, thank you. I try to come back to it as much as possible because it's a pleasure to exchange with this beautiful community for which I have worked for so many years;)
@sbadenis: haha excellent and yes the weather plays with the nerves of people in apartments, like me. Hard hard.
I also participated in the survey, it's true that you were the community manager for a long time and you made the site live well. Since your departure; there is no longer any chalenge..
Completed form. For my part, partial unemployment for 1 month because the companies we work with have closed. I work a little, but it's not "violent". In the meantime, morale is good, and so is health. I hope the same is true for all of you. Kind regards.
@ac Cobra 427: thank you for your feedback! We have to put the challenges back in place .
@contact_168: delighted to hear that morale and health are good! I have the impression that the production sites are reopening their doors little by little... The mice should warm up soon:)
@remrem, how did you set up HP remote? I have a Z tower but he asks me for a license, is this normal? as I have a good old Z420 at home I thought there would be no problem ... and low no.
otherwise we rotate because the company doesn't have fiber, the connections to PDM are super complicated
No worries really for the CAD but it's the ERP that causes problems and the supplier closed
Hello everyone, for my part, trainer at Visiativ, we continue to train exclusively in 2.0. Not new for us because it has already been in place for quite a few years (even if little known) but what is new and very appreciated is the loan of remote machines with the solidworks suite installed. The best way to get training off to a quick start! Good luck to all!
How does remote training on SOLIDWORKS or other Dassault Systèmes software work?
Our trainers welcome you in distance learning mode via web access.
Lessons and exercises are carried out in real time and you can exchange with the trainer and other connected participants! The practical arrangements are identical to those of traditional inter-company training courses (convocation, training agreement, certificate of attendance, assessment of prior learning).
If you can't access your professional workstation, we provide you with a machine equipped with a ...
As soon as you register, Visiativ Solutions takes care of everything. Online access to an equipped machine (software and license) is reserved for you for the entire duration of the sessions scheduled on the chosen theme.
