Introduction and challenges<\/b><\/h2>\n

Technological innovations continue to revolutionize use cases at a fast pace. In the past, companies could simply follow the trend, taking advantage of feedback from early adopters. Recently, this is becoming less and less true. The quick adoption of innovations by users (competitors\/customers) and the competitive advantages they can enable are forcing companies to take a proactive approach. In this context, information systems (IS) are a key business performance improvement lever. Defining an appropriate IS vision and strategy is a priority. The strategy must meet five major challenges:<\/span><\/p>\n

Agility: modularity, containerization, data modeling structure, cloud use, software or platform as a service offers mean that the systems and strategy can be flexible and evolve over time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Performance: in a context where data volumes are growing exponentially, IT systems are increasingly interconnected, functionally richer, available 24\/7 and have the shortest possible response time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Innovation: fast-paced technological disruptions (impacting habits and benchmarks) may require advocating for cultural changes as well as an open mind to structural changes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Scalability: “Think Big, Start Small, Scale Fast” is a precondition to staying in the race while controlling your investments.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Security: in more open environments, transaction and data protection are a survival issue for organizations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
