.tel Story of Fran�ois Amigorena

IT veteran Fran�ois Amigorena is no stranger to technology, having worked in the business for twenty-six years. With experience in companies such as IBM, Soci�t� G�n�rale and now as CEO of IS Decisions (http://isdecisions.tel/), a software company specializing in security and change management solutions, he has a renewed excitement for technology and new sense of adventure with the innovative and simple .tel. He is the founder of TourPointTel, the French-speaking .tel community website.

"I have been working in the IT business for the past 26 years. After graduating a French Business School, I joined IBM as a Sales Rep in 1983, then became Business Development Manager for a subsidiary of Soci�t� G�n�rale (one of the largest French Bank) specializing in large computer systems leasing. I then became an entrepreneur in the late 80s. I am now President and CEO of IS Decisions, a Security Software Vendor."

"I discovered .tel reading an article on the Web in February 2009 and I immediately became enthusiastic about the brilliantly simple and innovative concept, and decided that I had to be part of this new adventure."

"I have a very optimistic vision for .tel. We're still in the very early days of .tel and a lot of evangelization has to be performed to create global awareness. It will take some time. I am sure we will see great innovative products and services based on .tel in the months and the years to come."

"But it is an incredibly efficient "creativity booster"! Creating a .tel site is extremely quick and easy and does not require any development skills, a webmaster or a host provider. So .tel is the shortest direct path from an idea to its online implementation; from your brain to the Internet, with no intermediaries!"

"I created ToutPointTel (www.ToutPointTel.fr), the French-speaking .tel community website, to gather the French-speaking .tel Community, providing .tel enthusiasts as well as the average user with information, tools and resources to make their .tel experience richer and boost exchange and collaboration."

"I also have created DotTelFinder (www.DotTelFinder.com), a .tel-only search engine, and still have a bunch of other projects about .tel. I have also developed two French-language non-profit .tel sites: http://GrippePorcine.tel and http://Sages-Femmes.tel. GrippePorcine.tel is an "info and alerts hub" about swine flu and Sages-Femmes.tel is an informative site about International Midwives' Day. Both sites generated a very positive feedback, and people are especially satisfied for being able to access .tel sites from their mobile device.

".tel brings simplicity and mobility to the Internet and everybody is going to benefit from it. Using a .tel, small businesses and those that are self-employed can have a cost-effective presence on the Internet, individuals can easily share their contact information with friends and relatives, large corporations can build comprehensive internal directories, developers and software vendors can create plug-ins, add-ons and applications. .tel is the new e-frontier!"
