The Computer Management program aims to train students to practice the profession of programmer-analyst in the field of management.

In the exercise of his/her profession, the programmer-analyst is confronted regularly with new situations arising from the nature of the tasks of the type of IT environment, culture and business practices, etc.. Therefore, he/she must demonstrate adaptation, learning and problem-solving abilities.

In addition, analysis and programming work requires more particularly the spirit of logic, analysis and synthesis. He/she must also demonstrate independence, resourcefulness, perseverance and a great curiosity to technological developments.

It goes without saying that the organization of work in the form of projects, particularly in the preferred computer model requires the programmer-analyst to master skills related to communication, teamwork and interpersonal skills.

The development of applications that meet the needs of small, medium and large businesses in growth is still one of the largest users of services programmer analysts. However, due to the opening of markets, the constant advent of new technologies and the increasing importance of information and communication, this area is undergoing significant changes. They are reflected in particular by increasing diversification and, consequently, a very high demand for new products. These new products include communication applications as an aid to group work (intra-company), applications that enable data exchange (inter-company) and the deployment of the Information Highway in various purposes, especially in trade. These new applications have unique characteristics: friendliness, interactivity and multimedia. The programmer analyst is expected to contribute more to the development of computer applications that incorporate these features.

The tasks performed by the programmer-analyst can:

• vary according to the company’s characteristics such as the nature of its business and its size, as most businesses are small or medium-sized, the programmer-analyst must be versatile;
• address any stage of the development cycle of an application, that is to say, the analysis and design, implementation and testing as well as the implanting and integration into a target computing environment. The production of documents and user training are also part of the duties of programmer analysts;
• maintain existing software by bringing functional improvements. He/she also acts as a specialist with the users;
• perform tasks related to the operation of computing environments such as the installation and configuration of hardware, simple management tasks on a limited scale networks and technical support tasks.

The graduates of Telecommunications are generally found among manufacturers of communications equipment, with companies offering telecommunications services, cable television, as well as the wholesale and retail electronic communication products. The main tasks of these technologists are to do the installation, testing, repair and maintenance of equipment for the world of information and communications. In many cases, they will also work with technical assistance and representation.

Technologists in this sector must install and configure IP AND VOIP networks, draw diagrams and make a device using industrial techniques. Install, maintain and modify the electronic equipment used to transport, packaging or conversion of analog or digital signals used mainly in the field of communications. Diagnose and troubleshoot telecommunications systems at high frequencies with residential IP networks (DOCSIS ADSL) using appropriately specialized instrumentation. In addition, the program will allow the student to obtain the skills necessary for the preparation of CCNA and CVOICE Cisco.
