Les Franciscaines

About the Franciscans

In 2020, the city of Deauville inaugurated Les Franciscaines, in a place of more than six thousand square meters, full of history that brings together a museum, a media library, a theater, an auditorium, etc.

Les Franciscaines it is a cultural concept that also allows users to evolve in universes organized into five themes dear to Deauville: the show, the art of living, photography, cinema, horse and youth are indeed the themes that give each space their atmosphere, their decoration and their color. Each universe is also equipped with multimedia equipment to listen, consult and browse the net.

“For this project, we needed a provider with the required skills”

Offer users digital tools, digital services and an efficient and innovative information service. For this project, Les Franciscaines They looked for solutions that could work on various, common and recent hardware such as tablets, while ensuring authentication via a library card in NFC technology and integrating automation functions — automatic switching on and off of computers, lowering the projection screen when launching a video, etc. ̶ all using free software.

“We retained téïcée because she was scrupulously responding to needs”

To the extent that the research conducted by Les Franciscaines to find an existing solution has been in vain, Cédric Monange, in charge of the digital strategy to the Franciscans, tells us: “ For this project it was necessary to have a service provider with the skills to set up these interfaces »

Adaptation of the displays according to the graphic charter of the Franciscaines and the worlds related to each topic addressed, up to the parameterization of the deployed operating systems, the integration of authentication devices, projection systems, etc. “ It was necessary to design a set of solutions that fully met the specifications thus defined ” says Cédric Monange. “ And we held back téïcée because it met our needs scrupulously by providing a technical solution that satisfied us ” he adds.

“An innovative solution”

Teams of téïcée have worked on this and have delivered on their commitments:

· on a Ubuntu basis, téïcée has fully configured a Linux distribution that meets the expected graphic charter.
• téïcée has fully developed the authentication module that allows the use of the required NFC card
· device management is supported as expected: full screen display, control of projection screens, automation of video launch to the appropriate output. This work led in particular to the creation of a control module for VLC,
· installation of a Linux distribution Ubuntu modified to be adapted to the tablets “Surface” of the Microsoft company,
· establishment of a Web kiosk requested by the Franciscaines that developers of téïcée have realized with the tool Drupal that they master.

« Un investissement rentabilisé dans les trois ans »

When asked about relationships with téïcée, Cédric Monange smiles and delivers us “ i knew all the qualities of this company, including infrastructure, network and security and welcomes the smooth implementation of the everyone within téïcée was able to be responsive and find solutions to problems encountered as it progressedW »

“This project opens up many perspectives”

Trust, the watchword téïcée, augurs for the future a lasting relationship within the framework of the evolutions that are always at the rendezvous, each project giving rise to new ideas. " We are thinking about future developments and it is within this framework that we have established with téïcée a relationship of trust to maintain and evolve what has already been implemented ” concludes Cédric Monange.
