To achieve these objectives, Sopra Group recommends a model of shared “Business/IT” responsibility for the Information System allowing for greater Business-specific participation by “self-service” solutions and offering greater IT flexibility through a modernization of its infrastructure.

Flexibility of Businesses

• MDM (Master Data Management): Management of reference data and application parameters.
• BRMS (Business Rules Management System): Maintaining management rules and application logic outside of solutions.
• BPM (Business Process Management): Quickly configuring tool-based business processes through the combination of application services.

Freedom of use

• Portal: Offer customization, composition, and collaboration capabilities.
• ECM (Enterprise Content Management): Offer more autonomy and performance in information management.
• IAM (Identity and Access Management): Offer “off-site” management of access rights and user roles.

IS flexibility

• SOA (Service Oriented Architecture): Model the IS functions within a technical and functional architecture in order to offer them and use them in the form of independent services.
• ESB (Enterprise Service Bus): Create standardized communication between applications or services through “loose coupling,” thus allowing them to function and evolve independently of each other.
• Software factory: Improve the development productivity and the quality of solutions through maintenance of the IS reference base, using a framework, and implementing industrial tooling.
