​Vision, Mission and Strategic Goals
COMPUTIS’s preliminary goal is to be the first cloud service provider in Haiti and to leverage its data center and cloud infrastructure to become the leader among IT organizations in providing secure, high quality, and responsive service to government and private organizations in meeting their growth needs driven by governance techniques. Taking full advantage of state-of-the-art technologies, and building a high-performing dedicated workforce. 
Vision
COMPUTIS aims at transforming and modernizing Haiti’s IT ecosystem to bring efficiency, transparency and accountability and governance techniques in State affairs and business management.
Mission
In other to shake up and reshape Haiti’s IT ecosystem, and to bring efficiency in government and business management, we need to:

• Build state-of-the-art Data Center and deploy Cloud Computing Services

• Build products and services using reliable Open Source projects, create an open source platform and weigh in the outsourcing business.

• Create a couple of high-tech organizations including The Hacker Academy and The Software Factory, to educate well-qualified and skilled resources and to develop innovative, complex and intelligent computing systems.

• Develop realistic and sustainable Governing Process Architecting Framework, including transparency, accountability, and efficiency in service delivery. This is the best opportunity for Haiti to fill the gap and reach by every standard the state of competitiveness.

• Target sectors like Education, HealthCare, Environment, Justice etc., and create business process framework, involving the government, non-government and private organizations to create an environment that will create jobs, that will deliver services efficiently. The outcome of well-delivered services will engender new opportunity that will lead to economic growth and sustainable job growth.

• Work with universities and other organizations to develop and support research.

The Products and Services Portfolio section provides more details related to the items above. However, considering the scope of the project in terms of software engineering, some may wonder whether I am not being too optimistic or whether implementing the full scope of this project is even realistic. I would like to remind readers that the implementation of only a few items on the top of the above list is more than enough to guaranty the full success of the project. Also, be reminded that I have come to this after more than a quarter of century of software development and the mastering of the most popular platform. I remain proficient in different flavor of UNIX, Linux, MS-DOS and MS-Windows; and in a wide range of programming language including COBOL, C, C++, Java and C-sharp, etc. I have been Database Administrator (DBA) in a very diverse range of database engines including MySQL, Oracle, DB2, SQL Server, etc. Thankfully, to my decade long experience in the United Stated of America, I have learned a great deal in term of data center, virtualization, and most importantly in project management.

​

Project Management Style

​Regardless of the size of the budget or any other resources, project management expertise remains predominant in determining the chance of success of any project. For a couple of decades now I have successfully conducted several projects of various scales, I have also proven that I was capable to conduct several projects simultaneously.

​

I have adopted a mature agile project management principle based on Cybernetics and the Complex Adaptive System (CAS)evolution theory that leverage the understanding of autonomous human behavior gained from the study of living system in nature. Is it superfluous to mention that I am a member of the American Mathematical Society headquartered in Providence, Rhode Island? Being a mathematician myself, I often joke that if God exists he must be a mathematician. Let us leave it there, do not extrapolate please. I generally lean toward books, articles or theories written or elaborated by mathematicians. My overall approach in terms of management was inspired by one of the most cognitive and comprehensive theory called Cybernetics. This theory was elaborated in 1948 by a mathematician named Norbert Wiener. Wiener’s work was viewed as an inestimable treasure by the American government, therefore, that they wanted to keep it secret, but the author opposed. That’s an example of openness and true integrity that drives every mathematician’s life.

​

The Complex Adaptive Systems (CAS) management framework provides teams with:

• An intrinsic ability to deal with changes

• A view of organizations as fluid, adaptive systems composed of intelligent living beings

• Recognition of the limits of external control in establishing order, and of the role of intelligent control that employs self-organization as a means of establishing order

• An overall problem-solving approach that is humanistic in that:

  • It regards employees as skilled and valuable stakeholders in the management of a team.

  • It relies on the collective ability of autonomous teams as the basic problem-solving mechanism.

  • It limits up-front planning to a minimum based on an assumption of unpredictability, and instead, lays stress on adaptability to changing conditions.
