REFERENCES

This course is regularly taught to technical and functional architects as part of the Steria Institute of Architects and in both training centres of Ivry and Gradignan of the Banque Postale.

It is also regularly taught, since 2006, at Telecom South-Paris -Management School

 

OBJECTIVES

This course aims to introduce a “state-of-the-art” panorama of technologies and architectures used in information systems.

It is structured around the concept of technological trajectory to demonstrate how the various paths (machines, storage devices, programming capabilities, operating systems, networks, data and processing architectures, application software, middleware) have converged to present SOA, while effectively addressing the issues of performance, security and integration.

At the end of the training, each trainee should:

·        know to identify available technologies and components to build a technical architecture;

·        know how to position the different possible architectures in relation to each other.

 

WHO IS THIS COURSE FOR?

Vocational professional training

This course will be of interest to functional architects, project managers and CIOs who wish to have a synoptic view on the technical architecture of information systems they design, deploy and govern.

It will be also of interest to technical architects, experts specialized in specific areas, who want to step back and look for a panoramic view of all technologies used in the current IS architectures.

Initial training:

·         Students with a master's degree embarked into university studies addressing the issues of computing sciences and/or information systems ;

·        Students from « Grandes Ecoles » (Engineering, commerce and management) in the French higher education system.
