Mission

Into the central IT department (COE), the mission consists to continue inventorying all the applications we are currently using in Constellium. A software has been chosen for managing the applications knowledge/landscape: Hopex ITPM from Mega. The knowledge of this software is not required.

• Collect the data (list of applications, technologies and exchanges).
• Clarify them with the site.
• Classify the applications (by type, business capabilities, …).
• Upload the data into Hopex with all the application characteristics.
• Link the applications in between each of them when they are interconnected.
• Describe the applications.
• Link the applications to technologies components.

The main objective of this project is to set up an application landscape involving each site (24 sites), communicating with all sites counterparts, getting and organizing the inputs.
At the end, each site has to be independent, trained and able to manage any change in their applications catalog.
