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
