Internationalization process

Any small business or star up to make use of new technologies into their business model has a place in this project. The first step that gives the Foundation for the organization of these missions is to identify companies with potential that may sound like an opportunity in the U.S..

"We studied their needs and began a process of preparation," says the manager. Following this contact, we design an agenda of the trip and by the delegates of the project in San Francisco, materialize the necessary meetings with the leading companies.

Raising capital in Silicon Valley

Since December last year there have been seven business trips to California, which has involved more than 60 SMEs across the country. The data available to date concluded that more than 20% of companies "travelers" have established business relationships and real in the U.S.. Many of these synergies have resulted in a capital increase and others in the collaboration on joint projects.

Global Business Trip consolidated in a key moment for the enterprise network. In fact, all operators agree on the internationalization as one of the keys to minimizing the effects of economic crisis and address the current recession.

Destination: Silicon Valley
Just one year was enough to consolidate what at first seemed a risky project. Banesto Foundation initiative conceived in 2009 Global Business Trip, more than a trip to Spanish SMEs with technological basis to share experiences with other U.S. companies in the global epicenter of the technology: Silicon Valley (California, USA).

This initiative has resulted in numerous opportunities and agreements between SMEs and large enterprises in our country leading in technology. An example that for Francesc Fajula, Banesto Foundation Manager "shows how much that Spain can make to this sector."

Silicon Valley loses tenants

Management and administration of databases

To become a full database, Oracle appears V7h in 1992, where the h comes from data warehouse, but more significant is the support for referential integrity, storage and execution of programs written in PL / SQL inside the engine and definition of database triggers.

The Internet was a reality and new programming paradigms began to appear to try to displace the imperative paradigms in 1997 when Oracle V8 starts to support object-oriented development and implementation of storage media and in 1999 came to light Oracle 8i to be in tune with the requirements of the Internet, where i derived the name. Furthermore, the engine incorporates a Java Virtual Machine to support internal storage and execution of Java code inside the engine.
