IT Strategic Goal: Step change Education and Commercial capabilities in the context of economic pressure, institutional expansion
and internationalization while resetting the Technology Infrastructure and Service for our users community.
Strategic Priorities:
1. New Learning Management System (LMS) in support of our education
community and program requirements.
2. Replacement of our ERP addressing broad back office needs
(Education, Research, Alumni, Institutional Development, Personnel
and Finance.
3. Implement a new CRM system leveraging progress and learning gain
with IEE and the on-going GEMBA test.
4. Continue upgrade of our infrastructure. Especially for what relates to
classrooms, workrooms, audiovisuals, aging Pc’s and virtualization.
5. Excellent support services to academic activities (scores 4,5+) while
balancing priority and resources focus across the broad user
community.
Assumptions:
1. Selection of LMS & ERP software completed by April 2012 & July 2012 respectively
2. Appoint (as per projects start dates) Functional Leadership for the mobilization and
execution of Strategic Initiatives (LMS, ERP, CRM) on boarding full time participation
from Divisions and users affected to drive implementation and manage change.
3. Strengthen Governance of IT Strategy through:
1. ‘Comité de Priorización Tecnológica’ to oversight overall IT Strategic
agenda, confirm investments and manage execution trade offs.
2. Specific ‘Cross Divisional’ committees (similar to the Web Committee) to manage
implementation implications of Strategic Initiatives (LMS, ERP, CRM)
4. Secure funding of €MM (to be confirmed during project mobilizations) for the 2012-
2015 Strategic Calendar.
