Infrastructure

The design of an infrastructure is a strategic process that lays the basic foundations and structures for the company's information system.

It goes hand-in-hand with projects to integrate new user-services, the deployment of new applications, the migration of computer systems and the consolidation of environments.

The modelling of a technical infrastructure must meet numerous objectives: performance, the capacity for being updated, availability, potential for shared access, security, cost control and service quality.
