Supporting a company that is constantly changing

The pace of information system transformations is not slowing down, with the continuous arrival of major technological breakthroughs about which managers must make decisions for their company: today Cloud Computing or Digital Transformation, tomorrow M2M and 3D printing.

Meanwhile, the development of technological skills in the company questions the traditional balance between project ownership and project management and new governance schemes must be put in place to guarantee the integrity of the information system and its contribution to the company’s strategy.
