Des cadres dirigeants de Merck Serono soutienne l'action de l'organisation caritative Wateraid International
Dec. 4, 2012 07:12 AM
GENÈVE, Suisse, December 4, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
- Une vente aux enchères caritative donnera la possibilité à des personnes travaillant dans l'industrie des sciences de la vie d'enchérir pour partager un déjeuner privé avec des cadres dirigeants senior du secteur biopharmaceutique
Merck Serono, division de Merck (Darmstadt, Allemagne), est heureuse de participer à cette vente aux enchères caritative, organisée par Alacrita Consulting, au profit de Wateraid International. La vente sera l'occasion unique pour les participants issus de l'industrie des sciences de la vie d'enchérir pour tenter de bénéficier d'un déjeuner privé de deux heures avec des cadres dirigeants senior de l'industrie pharmaceutique, dont trois de chez Merck Serono. WaterAid International investit pour transformer la vie des habitants des pays les plus pauvres du monde en améliorant l'accès à l'eau potable et les conditions d'hygiène. "En notre qualité de leader du milieu biopharmaceutique, il nous tient à cœur de venir en aide aux populations dans le besoin," a déclaré Stefan Oschmann, Directeur Général de Merck Serono et Membre du Conseil d'Administration de Merck. "La responsabilité sociale de l'entreprise est solidement ancrée dans notre culture et dans nos valeurs, ainsi en témoigne l'exemple donné ici par nos plus haut cadres dirigeants. Nous sommes fiers de pouvoir accorder du temps - un bien précieux - à des actions comme celles menées par Wateraid International." Les trois dirigeants de Merck Serono qui participeront à cette vente aux enchères caritative (en proposant un déjeuner privé conjoint) sont :
- Belén Garijo, Vice-Présidente Exécutive et Responsable des Opérations
- Susan Jane Herbert, Vice-Présidente Exécutive et Responsable du Développement Produits au niveau mondial
- Annalisa Jenkins, Vice-Présidente Exécutive et Directrice Développement & Affaires Médicales au niveau mondial
Les enchères caritatives auront lieu en ligne à l'adresse internet suivante : http://www.alacritaconsulting.com/news/alacrita-2012-life-science-charity-auction Les enchères seront ouvertes du 3 au 13 décembre 2012. Le déjeuner avec les trois dirigeants de Merck Serono se tiendra courant 2013, à une date et en un lieu qui seront convenus d'un commun accord avec tous les participants. La participation de Merck à cette opération caritative reflète fortement l'engagement du groupe en termes de responsabilité sociale. A titre d'exemple, en 2007, Merck avait pris l'engagement de faire don à l'Organisation Mondiale de la Santé de 200 millions de comprimés de Cesol® 600 ayant pour substance active le praziquantel, destinés principalement à être distribués aux enfants africains scolarisés. L'objectif de ce don était de traiter à terme 27 millions d'enfants souffrant de schistosomiase dans les régions d'Afrique les plus sévèrement touchées par cette maladie. Il était initialement prévu que le projet se termine en 2017, mais Merck Serono a décidé de prolonger ses efforts jusqu'à ce que la schistosomiase soit éradiquée. Aussi, à moyen terme, l'entreprise envisage d'augmenter le volume de sa donation annuelle de praziquantel de 25 millions à 250 millions de comprimés, ce qui représente un coût annuel d'environ 23 millions de dollars. La schistosomiase est une maladie parasitaire transmise par des vers trémadotes, touchant tout particulièrement les enfants. C'est la deuxième maladie tropicale la plus répandue en Afrique, après le paludisme. Chaque année, environ 200 000 personnes meurent de cette maladie insidieuse. A propos de Merck Serono Merck Serono est la division biopharmaceutique de Merck KGaA. Merck Serono, dont le siège est à Darmstadt (Allemagne), met à la disposition des patients, dans 150 pays, des médicaments majeurs dans les domaines de l'oncologie, de la sclérose en plaques, de l'infertilité, des troubles endocriniens et métaboliques, ainsi que dans le domaine des maladies cardio-vasculaires. Aux États-Unis et au Canada, EMD Serono opère en tant que filiale juridiquement indépendante de Merck Serono. Merck Serono découvre, développe, produit et commercialise des médicaments de prescription obtenus par synthèse chimique ou issus des biotechnologies dans des indications relevant de spécialistes. Notre engagement fort en recherche et développement vise à offrir des nouvelles solutions thérapeutiques dans nos principaux domaines d'activité que sont les maladies neurodégénératives, l'oncologie et la rhumatologie. A propos de Merck Merck est un groupe pharmaceutique et chimique mondial, dont les ventes se sont élevées à 10,3 milliards d'euros en 2011. Fort d'une histoire qui a commencé en 1668, Merck construit son avenir grâce à environ 40 000 employés répartis dans 67 pays. L'une des clés de sa réussite tient au sens de l'innovation de ses employés. Les activités de Merck sont chapeautées par la société Merck KGaA, dont le capital est détenu à hauteur d'environ 70% par la famille Merck et à hauteur d'environ 30% par des actionnaires extérieurs. L'ancienne filiale américaine Merck & Co. est totalement autonome depuis 1917, et n'a depuis plus aucun lien avec le groupe Merck.

Virtualization Articles & Feature Stories By Jason Bloomberg  We must bring together the worlds of SOA, BPM, Cloud, REST, and HOA. The secret to getting all these architectural trends to work well together centers on how we deal with state information. We must first separate application state from resource state, and then subsequently take the conceptual leap to understanding that the best way to implement our business processes is by combining HOA processes with Composite RESTful Services. Once we make this leap, however, the pieces of this complicated pu...

Every day, we create 2.5 quintillion (or 2.518) bytes of data, according to IBM.
As corporations across all industries globally are struggling with how to retain, aggregate and analyze this mounting volume of what the industry refers to as Big Data, it also provides a unique opportunity for innovative startups that recognize the business prospects Big Data presents. Big Data is not just unlocking new information but new sources of economic and business value.
Interactivity is driving Big Data, with people and machines both consuming and creating it. Digital companies focused on becoming good at aggregating and analyzing the data created by the end users of their product, who then provide their customers with solid insights taken from that data are at a distinct competitive advantage over others in the marketplace.

IDC sees a $65 billion market in these industry solutions for 2013, rising to $100 billion in 2016.
The value of industry-specific clouds is that businesses within a vertical can connect to applications, processes, and databases that are pre-defined for that vertical within a public or private cloud. They can extend processes and databases into the business domain, versus defining the data and processes within a generic cloud-based platform.
So, are industry specific clouds right for your business? What options are out there? How do you figure out the ROI?

Reads: 45,735  By Kevin Hartig Cloud computing is becoming one of the next industry buzz words. It joins the ranks of terms including: grid computing, utility computing, virtualization, clustering, etc.
Cloud computing overlaps some of the concepts of distributed, grid and utility computing, however it does have its own meaning if contextually used correctly. The conceptual overlap is partly due to technology changes, usages and implementations over the years.
Trends in usage of the terms from Google searches shows Cloud Computing is a relatively new term introduced in the past year. There has also been a decline in general interest of Grid, Utility and Distributed computing.
Likely they will be around in usage for quit a while to come. But Cloud computing has become the new buzz word driven largely by marketing and service offerings from big corporate players like Google, IBM and Amazon.

Reads: 2,679  By Liz McMillan One of the most compelling promises of the cloud is that you can pull out a credit card and be working in minutes. No purchase orders to fill out, no equipment to wait for on the loading dock. Just instant access to the resources you need, when you need them. But accessibility comes at a price, and an unintentional consequence may be that you create yet another orphaned identity silo. Enterprise IT has spent years consolidating its mishmash of directories, only to discover that cloud now threatens to turn back their hard-won victories.
In his session at the 12th International Cloud Expo, Scott Morrison, CTO and Chief Architect at Layer 7 Technologies, will look at strategies to incorporate identity into cloud applications. Enterprise identity or social login can both be a part of your go-to-cloud strategy, but you must plan for this upfront, rather than try to retrofit identity and access control at a later date.

Virtualization Blogs Live By David Deans  Online collaboration has evolved during the last decade, delivering even greater value -- thanks to a new generation of business technology applications. Forbes Insights released "Collaborating in the Cloud," a Cisco-sponsored study examining the ways business leaders increasingly look at cloud collaboration as a way to increase productivity, accelerate business results and enhance innovation across borders and functions.
The research combines a global survey of more than 500 executives with 15 executive interviews.
"The ability to collaborate in the cloud is becoming a key driver of competi... May. 21, 2013 08:45 AM EDT | By Mark van Rijmenam  New technologies allow schools, colleges and universities to analyze absolutely everything that happens. From student behavior, testing results, career development of students as well as educational needs based on changing societies. A lot of this data has already been stored and is used for statistical analysis by government agencies such as the National Center for Educational Statistics. With the rise of more and more online education and the development of MOOCs all the data gets a completely new meaning. Big Data allow for very exciting changes in the educational field that will revolution... May. 19, 2013 02:00 PM EDT | By Mark van Rijmenam  In the coming years, big data will change the way organisations and societies are operated and managed. Big data however, is not the only trend that will impact significantly how organisations operate. Another major trend at the moment is gamification. Gamification will change the way organisations connect with consumers and it will provide extremely valuable big data that can be turned into insights.
Let’s first look at what gamification exactly is. Gamification is the use of game elements in non-game contexts. It can be used externally, to interact with customers and improve marketing effo... May. 19, 2013 08:00 AM EDT | By David Tishgart  I'd like to address a recent blog post in CloudTweaks titled, "Cloudera Not Cutting It With Big Data Security." The author makes a number of very salient and valid points about Hadoop security… or lack thereof.
Indeed the Apache Hadoop platform, which includes HDFS and MapReduce and other projects like HBase, Mahout and Hive, was not designed for security. The Hadoop name, for better or worse, is nearly synonymous with big data because it delivers the "three V's" (velocity, variety, volume) at massive scale, enabling organizations to crunch, process, analyze and retain data like never before....
