Background
The organization
OMNES Éducation is one of Europe’s leading private higher education operators, covering a wide range of fields: communications, design, engineering, management and political science. Every year, the group trains 35,000 students and 2,000 executives in continuing education, at 15 schools in France and abroad.
The CIO team
The Group’s CIO employs 125 people, divided equally between internal and external Teams. It is organized around four functional business areas, cross-functional functions including the Head of CIO Office, and profiles covering the entire IT chain (developers, business analysts, testers, project managers, managers), complemented by local support teams deployed at sites in France and abroad.
The major challenges facing the CIO
- Support a new growth and international development strategy, led by a new management team
- Accelerate digital transformation and adaptation to new ways of working, particularly with the rise of AI
- Reduce technical debt while continuing to support existing tools
- Professionalize CIO steering: Availability, data reliability and rigorous methods
- Steer with ROI – Return on Investment – efficiency and speed of execution in mind
The need
Equip and professionalize IT department steering to strengthen its governance: optimize time tracking, centralize project portfolio tracking using a common method, make financial steering more reliable (run & build), with the common thread of being able to produce consolidated, actionable reporting for management.
Benefits
- Professionalization of IT department steering: common method, structured working framework, formalized processes
- Fully digitized and automated time recording, with significant savings in time and FTEs
- Centralized, reliable data: a single, consolidated source that’s always available
- Budget tracking (run and build) structured according to the CIGREF reference framework, with enhanced expense predictability
- Consolidated, actionable reporting to IT CODIR and COMEX, produced more quickly and clearly
- Adoption by the entire CIO, and beyond, with other business departments using the tool
