Some (very) partial information on Renault IS in 2001:

What is Renault?

Renault IT executive board

A new CIO of Renault (Nissan/Renault alliance is not fully done at that time) is appointed in 2001

He has, after an analysis, presented his first feelings to the board (Renault IT executive board presentation)

Let's mention some additional data of 2001 situation:

- The applications developed in the 80's 90's, including SAP dynamic for back-office, are still based on a too "French" vision, maybe not adapted to international expansion (Nissan, and after Samsung motors, Dacia, ...)

- Organization too much "silo" oriented (engineering, manufacturing, sales, back-office), and application development too much verticalized

- Often chaotic development of techniques, including basic office applications (word, powerpoint.... incompatible versions ...)

- Internet presence weak, but anarchic explosion of specific intranet sites

- Very large application base (3000 applications), coming from history, often in specific/old languages, sometimes quite modern...

- Often creative developments, subcontracted to a lot of different service companies (more than 300...), increasing heterogeneity, lack of standards and quality...

Questions:

1) Try to imagine the main processes within Renault IS department ?

2) What could be the IT/IS scorecard, (strategic objectives, indicators) ?

3) What could be his main projects and their justification ?
