French term

Urbanisme dynamique

French to English Tech/Engineering IT (Information Technology)
I have the definition, but I'm not sure what the corresponding term in English would be:

Urbanisme dynamique : aider les entreprises dans le choix de nouvelles solutions applicatives et technologiques (cloud assessment) et les accompagner dans la migration vers ces nouvelles plateformes (SaaS, PaaS, IaaS et hybride)

@ all Hello

I got moderated and don't understand why. All I wanted to say was that we have a good reference from Tatyana000 and this checks out on other IT sites.
This question has nothing to do with town planning or urbanism in its usual sense (populations and cities).
I don't see how people got there as it is clearly an IT question in the title and in the context given
philgoddard Sep 17, 2019:
I never knew "urbanisation" could be used in that way.
tatyana000 (asker) Sep 17, 2019:
It's a new IT term It first appears in a list of services offered by the company, and then the above definition is provided.
It looks like it's related to this: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urbanisation_(informatique)
philgoddard Sep 17, 2019:
The definition doesn't seem to fit the term - is this the text you're translating?

Selected

dynamic IS (mapping &) planning

OR (a bit longer)

Ongoing IS mapping, remodelling and development

I think the system has to be ongoing hence the dynamic element...

I haven't been able to find "urbanis(z)ation" used as an IS/IT term in English at all except in (obviously-) translated texts (and those translations are quite clearly not by native speakers) hence I'm reluctant to introduce the term into English in this field. It would be good to have a 1 word term though!

"Urbanization mainly consists in three main activities:
 cartography of the existing IS
 conception of a target IS
 determination of a migration path from the existing to the target IS

I looked on IATE as well and it does not exist as a term other than in relation to urban planning, and land use ..."

The process of urbanization is based on three key areas that feed each other:

the modeling strategy
the mapping of existing systems (business, functional, application, technical)
the determination of target systems (business, functional, application, technical)

I think if you do decide to use the 1-word term you will need to put it in quote marks "urbanis(z)ion" and then explain it.

yes, mapping fits well with planning...going from current system A > target system B

IS urbanization/urbanization of Information Systems

Hello Tatyana000 (and all)

This is really your answer as you gave us the right reference so I'm putting it up as a suggestion in order that it can be entered into the glossary if you choose it.
In view of the circumstances, please don't give me any points if you decide to choose it.
Peer comment(s):

neutral Yvonne Gallagher : As I said, I couldn't find this in "real" English at all, and I already gave one of your links (which is translated by non-native)
