4BIC THEOGONE Innovative SMEs
Generalist BIC, 20 years of experience, Survival
rate after 5 years 80 (national mean 50 )
SMEs Today 30 innovative companies, 170
employees, gt 40 M How to help company CEO to
be innovative ? In being innovative too !
5Steps into the problem
We think one of the most important BIC mission is
to transfer good practises for innovative
business to young and unskilled company creator.
All of us are helping young SMEs to elaborate
their Business Plan, Business
Model, Investor quest, . A bunch of good
practises in Business ! As we consider that
Innovation is a strategic element we offer
secured premises with restricted access. BUT
what about Internet connections ?
6Steps into the problem
Can you imagine a burglar in your BIC visiting
SMEs premises ?
X
Definitively NOT !!
So why many innovative SMEs not specialized in IT
Systems should have to be alone in front of
Internet Security ? We think we have to help them.
7The criterions
How to help SMEs ? In creating a basic secured IT
system for them - allowing mobility without
WIFI (not so secured), - check user ID
authenticate check user authorizations -
based on open tools (less expensive, robusts), -
transferable to SMEs when the leave the
BIC system should be multi-platform, made of
blocks, - allowing green IT grade (not only
because we love Earth but to reduce electricity
charges), - easily maintainable (even for a non
computer geeks !)
Thats ITS4Startup !

12Does we comply with criterions ?
How to help SMEs ? In creating a basic secured IT
system for them - allowing mobility without
WIFI (not so secured), WIRED - based on open
tools (less expensive, robusts), LINUX,
APACHE, MySQL, OpenRADIUS, OpenSSL -
transferable to SMEs when the leave the
BIC system should be multi-platform, OpenSSL
Win, MAC, UNIXes made of blocks, YES -
allowing green IT grade (not only because we love
Earth but to reduce electricity charges), NO TOO
MUCH COMPUTERS !!! - easily maintainable YES
INTRANET Graphical Interfaces
13The Green Version
The problem
Firewall 1 server / SME 500 W, CA PKI
server 1 server / SME 500 W Radius server 1
server / SME 500 W LDAP MySQL server
1server / SME 500 W Total / SME 2 kW Sample
Total for 30 SME (case of BIC Theogone) gt 60 kW
!!!!
The Solution VIRTUALIZATION
All In One 500 W, possible, replication
advantage, packaging
Theogone 30 SMEs FWs 500 W, BIC FW auth
system 500 W total 1 kW

15Transferability Conclusions
When SMEs leave the BIC, they receive a bunch of
DVD containing - all the authorization and
authentication system, - Firewall copy, - log
system, We support them up to 6 monthes after
their exit. System is compatible with VoIP and
ToIP System can support signed email (THE
solution to spam) ITS4Startup is adaptable
whatever infrastructure hardware at low
cost ITS4Stratup is transferable to other BICs
