Marketing / i-business
French term or phrase: ITV
2) ***ITV*** de Pierre Herbin: Directeur Réseau CCF

" Le Credit Commercial de France passe en réseau et donc l’ensemble des utilisateurs des postes de travail va travailler sur le Net.
Il nous fallait éffectivement un outil qui permette de travailler, qui soit compatible avec le Net et WEB FOCUS correspondait à cette fonctionnalité.

This is from a text on Information Builders and i-business. Am I right in thinking that ITV means interactive television here? I can't think of what else it can be. Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Many thanks, Albert, it's the first time I've seen interview abbreviated like that. You learn a new thing (or two) every day! I found some more references on Google after reading your answer, so I'll go with this one. Sheila

TVI (télévision industrielle)


Explanation:
if TVI is industrial television

Terme générique couvrant toutes les applications que l'on fait de la télévision dans l'entreprise - Termium

seems right in this context

otherwise ITV is also \"instructional television\" = \"télé-enseignement\"
or
independant televison (UK) not translated

I\'ve never seen interactive television/TV or two-way television/TV identified as \"ITV\" = \"télévision/TV interactive\"
doesn\'t sound like that is the context anyway

sorry, in the first line, TVI should be \"ITV\" - if ITV is industrial television

disagree  David Sirett: The CCF is a bank, and is using WebFocus on its intranet. I don't think industrial TV is involved.
1 hr
  -> That I don't know, just don't find any other "official" equivalent for ITV - industrial tv includes all uses of TV within a company

Explanation:
They do need a tool that is both compatible to the net & Web focus. Since we now have the technology to use our televisions as a pc moniter, you will have a good idea if you can answer wether or not a tv is compatible to web-focus.

Explanation:
I agree with Albert, even though it is not a standard abbreviation. See reference below for a brief article on the CCF system. No interactive TV involved, as far as I can see.

neutral  Meri Buettner: haven't ever seen this either...but it's just as likely as ITV being "interview"
