Token this is there. The date of viva begins going up, I begin arresting subject a bit, and will have been right of my procrastination. I think that he is from now on high time for me to begin seriously my memo of professional thesis

A memo which will concern the integration of technologies of the Web within the Argentinian SMES, with the intention of diversifying and fitting to the reduction of what is named " numerical fracture " , or " digital hole " (  brecha digital  ). Because if I chose Argentina to start my career there as  TIC fits  , it is well because of the dynamics which saw the country in terms of its technological development, thanks to a very specific policy in the field.

Indeed, Bruno Salgues, former president of the supervisory board of Comparatel, defines the numerical fracture so:

The numerical fracture includes two levels: the lack of access in TIC and deficient and inadequate knowledge in new technologies. Moreover, she is based on socioeconomic and/or sociocultural inequality which she maintains or which she procreates. So, TIC would be at the origin of paradox: introduced into our society to create social link, new form of social link, them contribute only to maintain the social cleaving by creating a new class of divesting: "information-poor people" which does not exaggerate TIC in correlation with.

The Argentinian government therefore made battle against the numerical fracture in the country a major axle of its policy, clever strategy betting on the development of new activities, aiming at helping the country to become emancipated of the economic crisis of 2002.

Blended with all international initiatives aiming at augmenting access and knowledge in TIC (adoption of Open Source, plan  "One Laptop Per Child" , platforms e-learning), Argentina makes from now on left the countries the sectors of computer science and of communication of which are in stronger growth, encouraging even the gluttonous giant Google to come to invest, a true godsend for Argentina abandoned by the investors of this world:

• In 2004, it THIS of the sector of computer science corresponded to 1780 million dollars. For 2005, they expected a growth of the sector of more than 25,2 % compared in 2004, THIS of 449 million dollars is an increase of the.
• Concerning software package, the Ministry of Industry set up Law Software package in 2003, granting in this industry of tax benefits (60 % of discount for turnover tax for example) as well as guarantee to the businessmen that there will be no increase of taxes over ten next years. With an one THIS of 305 million dollars in 2004, this sector intended already 220 millions for export (that is 30 % more than on 2003). Law set up had to procreate a strong growth for 2005, estimated at about 22 %.
• The privatisation of the sector of telecommunications allowed to record one of the highest rates of growth. The development of facilities centres of telephone attention to the consumer, the development of electronic trade, educational services, and even the digitalisation of the services of the State En effet, the indicators of growth open new opportunities of business for the installation of activity to high-tech such as exceeded perspectives for 2004, for year which was counted about 15 million lines of mobile telephony, with an one THIS in growth of more than 60 %.
• Internet for his/her part also participates in the development of the sector of telecommunications with a growth in 2004 of 45 % of the THIS (that is an increase among subscribers of more than 90 %).
• In compensation, the sector of fixed telephony is the market which showed least vitality, with a growth of the THIS of 8,5 % for local telephony and of 4,7 % for the international (in 2004).

A difficult past therefore, but a bet on future thanks to NTIC which puts the country on a new market, and that, we will see it later, also brings an easiness of development to the local firms, among which notably the SMES which can see from now on their organisation, their exchanges and their processes winning in effectiveness
