The integration of information and communication technology (ICT) into busuiness has become an obvious necessity. But to truly take advantage of these new technologies, the changes they bring must be carefully managed. OMTI engineers have expertise in both organizations and managing IT-related projects. They understand business environments and operations, as well as the strategic and organizational challenges of ICT management

The academic program of the option takes place over the two years of graduate school. It begins in the 1st year of specialization with advanced instruction in the field of information technologies (languages and translation, software engineering, systems and networks) and production (management of operations).

In the 2nd year, the students take classes involving theoretical concepts, knowledge of information systems as well as numerous case studies presented by professionals and former students of the option. The students also do an “option project,” in which they provide solutions to an actual customer requirement, using a project-type organization. This gives them genuine experience in conducting an IT project, for example, creating a website for the Fondation Bethléem in Mouda, Cameroon, proposed by a former student of the option.

Finally, the graduate project is an engineering service that provides great added value to a business.The student identifies, acquires and implements skills, and then combines them in a new context. For OMTI students, this may mean working on a project to streamline processes in a bank, migrating an information system, implementing customer relationship management solutions, or other junior consultant assignments.
