Training goals

For the company, the information systems used to process, carry and secure data are of vital strategic, economic, technical and human importance.

In facilitating decision-making, a well-designed information system can offer a significant and long-term competitive edge. As overhauling IT applications is extremely costly, the aim is to ensure that investments are profitable for the long-term. System choices and transmission costs must be optimised and the sustainability of the offerings from the manufacturers must be considered.

The main goal of the Information Systems Architecture specialist Mastère is to teach these concepts so that the future professional can acquire techniques and methods for designing and managing information systems as a whole.

Professional prospects

For many companies, the scalability, interoperability and to an increasingly large extent, the security of their information systems are the primary problems. The designers of modern information systems, whether the client or the project manager, or indeed the consultant, must now take account of all these intrinsic problems.

The specialist Mastère addresses these extremely important requirements. Its purpose is to train future information system architects, information system consultants or IT project managers, with expertise in the techniques commonly used, particularly those used to secure information systems against the outside attacks that are becoming increasingly commonplace.

Strong points

Information technology is a constantly changing area. One of the primary goals of the Information Systems Architecture specialist mastère is to keep a very close watch on the industrial sector. In order to maintain close ties with IT users, and in addition to the classes given by the permanent staff at ENSTA and the other schools and universities, classes and practical work are carried out by teachers from IT service companies.
