DISIC, placed under the authority of the Prime Minister and connected to the Secretary General for the Government, was established by Decree No 2011-193, thus replacing the National Steering Committee for Information Systems (CPNSI) which had been set up in June 2009. The DISIC project, which was led for over eighteen months by the Directorate-General for State Modernisation (Direction Générale de la Modernisation de l'Etat - DGME, in French), will allow the government to deploy an enhanced IT governance, but also a greater consistency in IT choices for the administration, as well as a larger representation of its technological positions internationally.
DISIC will centralise the rights governing the interoperability of systems and information exchange, security standards and accessibility. It will aim to ensure that systems function harmoniously so as to simplify the interaction between users and government administrations, and between these and other administrative authorities. DISIC will also seek to ensure the design and implementation of interoperable systems between government administrations, or between these and other administrative authorities, IT systems or shared communication systems. By responding to the specific needs of government ICT services, DISIC will contribute to promoting innovation and competitiveness in this sector of the national economy.
Based on its expertise in the ICT domain and eGovernment, DGME had proposed a large-scale interdepartmental IT project beginning in November 2009 to meet the digital challenges posed in the quality of service provision. The challenge was to provide the government with a directorate capable of achieving consistency in IT infrastructure both from a technological and from a financial point of view, and to meet the challenges of interdepartmental interoperability for systems and cloud computing, among others.
On the occasion of the second wave of RGPP measures, DGME carried out a review of all government IT directorates in January 2010, which led to the adoption of a specific measure to appoint a director responsible for coordinating government IT projects. This measure was implemented following its inclusion in the Council for the Modernisation of Public Policies (CMPP) on 30 June 2010.
