Information System Analysis and Design

Acquis d'apprentissage

The students will have learned how to read models and to apply them by their own for simple situations. This will lead them to be able to both express rigorously the business needs and to interact pertinently with people involved on information system engineering related activities, notably people making up the IT community.

Confronted to a specific organizational issue, the student will indeed be able to handle it in such a way that the organizational solution and the related information system would be consistent. In another words, the student would be able to propose new models of information systems that match company’s needs.
