“The CIS Plan is not a technology plan. Above all, it is a transformation plan driving an important change in the culture and operational methods of the Ministry, through optimization, standardization, and a total integration of management procedures”.
CIS Inspector- General, Mr Carlos Royo Sánchez

Business Challenges

• To combine and coordinate the needs and efforts of the different departments within the Ministry of Defence as well as those of the three armed services
• Implement the Communication & Information Systems Strategy Plan from the MoD, in which technology is used to combine and optimize corporate management procedures

Solution

• The creation of the CIS General Inspection, to which highly qualified resources were assigned from the three armed services. This gave the plan a "corporate" and global nature, without excluding departments which would eventually be affected by its implementation from the decision making process
• Focus on technological and strategic consultancy, designing and planning technological developments and IT procedures, providing advice during the process of selecting and contracting strategic providers, supporting the implementation of modern methodologies and establishing architecture and technology solutions, in addition to IT security policies and plans

Benefits

• The consolidation of Data Centers delivered improvements in resource management, infrastructure and employee salary savings, security and service levels, as well as greater control of resources used
• The merger and centralization of corporate communications in the MoD improved management and service levels without increasing costs
• Alignment of information systems with the Ministry’s processes, adding to the standard methodology
