The National Office of Hydrocarbons and Mines (ONHYM) is entering a new phase in its digital modernization. The public institution has just awarded Deloitte Conseil the contract to implement its Information System Master Plan (SDSI) for the 2026-2030 period, for an amount exceeding 3 million dirhams.
The firm was selected for a proposal considered compliant and more advantageous, excluding several major consulting players, among them the OCP Solutions group, Sia Partners France, Sia Partners Morocco, BearingPoint Morocco & France, Wavestone Advisors Morocco, PwC Advisory, Sis Consultants, and IT Consultants, according to sources consulted by TelQuel.
The same sources recall that this approach is part of a context of profound technological change, where digital transformation is becoming a strategic imperative for all public bodies. ONHYM sees in it the opportunity to “consolidate the gains of the previous master plan, deployed between 2017 and 2021, and to structure a new generation of tools and processes capable of supporting its hydrocarbons and mining sectors in a constantly evolving environment.”
The Office also emphasizes the need to “have modernized IT governance, an adapted internal organization, and a unified vision covering both technological needs, the digitalization of procedures, and the strengthening of IT security.”
The foundation of the future SDSI
The mission entrusted to Deloitte first provides for an in-depth assessment of the current situation: state of the infrastructures, projects carried out, tools used, business processes, and governance systems. This analysis must enable the establishment of a comprehensive diagnosis, identification of dysfunctions, unmet needs, and prospects for development.
On this basis, the firm will then have to develop ONHYM’s digital strategy for the next five years, define the target architecture of the information system, propose the optimal organization of the IT function, and establish the operational implementation roadmap, including budgetary prerequisites, organizational impacts, and the sequencing of priority actions.
The contract also includes a phase of support for implementing the SDSI, aimed at ensuring the deployment of the selected actions and their consistency with the stated objectives. The Office considers this master plan a “major lever of its transformation,” aimed at improving data management, internal service quality, IT security, and the overall efficiency of its processes in a sector marked by high technical requirements and strong strategic sensitivity.
