Transforming information systems to drive business growth 

Digital transformation is having a major impact on all aspects of organisations. Information systems are at the heart of this upheaval. Indeed, the omnipresence of digital and the growing connectivity needs significantly alter the way businesses and organizations process, store, and use data.  

The increase in the quantity and variety of data is a growth catalyst for businesses, which are now able to collect larger and more diverse data sets than before thanks to digital technologies. To make the most of these data, information systems must be designed and maintained to manage and analyse data in real-time. 

Faced with the complexity of these transformations, it is necessary to rethink IT infrastructures to make them more agile and scalable, capable of keeping up with technological developments and changes in commercial markets. 

To meet all these challenges, ALTEN has designed its Application software offering to support you from the definition to the deployment of design strategies, modernization, and maintenance of your information systems. This offer leverages ALTEN’s historical expertise in consulting and R&D, combined with a proven methodology built around the shared desire to accelerate your organization’s value creation. 

Our expertise

Framework & Application Design

Objective: Define and prepare for application modernization 

ALTEN offers a tailored strategic support that allows you to anticipate and prepare for the creation of a new application or the modernization of an existing one before starting the development process. ALTEN’s strategic framing offer is based on an analysis and consulting methodology developed by ALTEN Centres of Excellence, dedicated technical expertise, and excellence centres: 

  • Analysis of the application ecosystem to define the interfaces with the new application 
  • Application analysis to modernize in a reverse engineering approach to produce the necessary documentation for its redevelopment 
  • Design Thinking and UX/UI workshops to interact in advance with the businesses and design the application from a functional perspective 
  • Carrying out an application architecture analysis to propose a design adapted to your context 
  • Creation of an initial backlog allowing an estimation of the development load
