Questions for the analyst

How do I integrate new tools in the one I am already

using?

How can I take advantage of innovation in a suitable

and efficient way to me?

Where are the innovative tools already adapted to the

way I practice my work?

In what conditions, and under what constraints

(technical, legal), can I use them?

These are the questions addressed by Virtuoso
