Development of the Information Systems Master Plan

The objectives of developing an Information Systems Master Plan Development

How to define an Information Systems Master Plan Development (ISMP) and establish the necessary budgets for all your projects ?

In the context of digital transformation and the significant role played by information systems in implementing corporate strategies, the ISMP provides a direction and perspective, identifies performance and growth drivers, and aligns employees with a shared vision.

The ISMP enables companies to establish an information system that matches their transformation ambitions, considering key strategic aspects such as infrastructure, cloud computing, data management, and cybersecurity.

The ISMP offers a cross-functional vision for the next 3-5 years, involving all stakeholders, including IT and business teams, and establishes a new organization for the IT department based on three pillars :

Long-term governance: Aim for optimizing internal organization, management control, and budgetary processes.
Information system urbanization
Catalog of business projects, infrastructure projects, and foundational projects (business reference models) : Prioritize, budget, and plan these projects.
