Algorithm for Optimal Selection of a Strategy for Designing Corporate Information Systems Using Multi-criteria Optimization

The article presents the formation of an algorithm for optimal selection of a corporate information system (CIS) design strategy, taking into account numerous criteria and interests of various stakeholders. The algorithm is based on a comprehensive approach that combines the advantages of several multi-criteria analysis methods: the structured hierarchical approach of the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), the use of quantitative assessments and preference functions from the PROMETHEE method, as well as the concept of approximation to the ideal solution from the TOPSIS method. The proposed algorithm allows taking into account the interests of all decision makers (DMs) involved in the CIS project, and ensuring a balanced choice of design strategy considering heterogeneous criteria: functional, technical, financial, etc. The key advantages are flexibility, the ability to work with heterogeneous criteria and different types of data, as well as transparency and interpretability of results for DMs. To demonstrate the operation of the algorithm, the development of specialized software with modules for DM management, criteria, criteria weight assessment, analysis of alternative strategies, and report generation is underway.
