Functional management is responsible for the optimal operation of one or more information systems. They act as the connecting link between an organization’s business operations and IT. This is also referred to as information management or information governance.
Once you have defined and implemented a process, it is important to continuously optimize it. A functional management organization is crucial in ensuring that your HRM processes are maintained and improved.
The goals of the AFAS management organization include:
