The article discusses current issues of virtualization of the network infrastructure of educational institutions. The analysis of the literature on this issue. A new approach to creating a cloud virtualization environment for the educational institution’s network infrastructure is proposed, which is based on the joint use of virtualization technologies and software-defined networks. This approach allows you to unify the process of creating a network infrastructure, scale the resources provided on demand with minimal organizational and technical costs. The data processing center of the Belarusian State University has implemented a model that includes virtual network segments. Using virtualization technologies and software-defined networks allows you to unify the process of creating network infrastructure, scale the resources provided on demand with minimal organizational and technical costs, adapt the virtual infrastructure to the requirements of a particular educational institution.

The population census is the key and large-scale statistical action. It allows to obtaining exact and reliable information about a condition of the population on demographic and social indicators. Improvement existing and introduction of new approaches to its preparation and carrying out to increase quality and availability of results of a census, to reduce financial and temporary expenses is necessary. One of such innovations is used GIS-technologies. Now during forthcoming population censuses of a round of 2020 it is integration of GIS in a population census and creation of cartographic web services, using of base of geodate, the systems of positioning (GPS) considerably increases. Its quality and expands a set of information services (e-services) provided by bodies of the state statistics, in particular distribution of results of a census in a cartographic look practically on any statistics and with any geobinding. In article the analysis of existing system of population census in Belarus in aspect of use is carried out GIS-technologies, variants on system optimisation are offered. Authors realised the technology «Generalized data», used for gathering, formation and cartographical display of the information on the population, constantly living in the organisations (establishments), gardening associations, country co-operative societies, objects of office appointment, and also for drawing up of organizational plans of carrying out of population census of Byelorussia of 2019 and control over its preparation and carrying out.

The scientific article explores the role of software as a tool used by organizations to carry out economic activities in a digital economy without which it is impossible to have adequate competitiveness in a digital economy. The concept of “digital economy” has been clarified. A methodology has been developed to evaluate the effectiveness of the software used or selected on the basis of its qualitative and quantitative characteristics and the requirements of the workplace for the software functionality. Based on the theoretical and methodological base and the developed methodology, a scalable model of an effective management decision-making process for selecting and updating software in an organization is built, a comparison with existing practice is carried out. The significance of the research results is due to the lack of widely available methods in open access for the optimal selection of software as a tool, not related to involving external agents in the process and having the necessary scalability to use them, including collective, in organizations. This creates negative effects for organizations and the economy of the Republic of Belarus as a whole.

Small and medium-sized enterprises provide economic growth in many countries of the world. Economic pressure requires continuous improvement of the company's efficiency, staff knowledge, training to survive or remain competitive. Due to limited resources, often financial, SME managers reduce training activities and the introduction of new technologies in their companies.The purpose of this article was to study the possibilities of e-learning in SMEs. The main trends of modern e-learning were considered.It was noted that, despite the obvious advantages of using e-learning in SMEs, there were a number of obstacles to the active introduction of e-learning, namely: lack of availability of e-learning, lack of management support, lack of quality courses, reluctance of staff to use technology, lack of investment by companies in technology and lack of University-level and non-academic courses tailored to the needs of the enterprise.The article considers possible ways of overcoming the described problems and suggests ways to solve them.

This chapter provides a framework composed of best practices organized according to the level of maturity and that may be adopted by the majority of companies wishing to choose the pathway toward improving Enterprise IS governance (EISG). In order for the IS to make its optimal contribution to the strategy and to the development of the company as part of its digital transformation, it becomes essential that the IT department be a stakeholder involved very early in the process of strategic reflection of the enterprise. The IS urbanization remains one of the key success factors for the digital transformation of the enterprise. The project management of the IT component of the project is entrusted to an IT project manager who has the responsibility of leading the design and implementation phases in accordance with the requirements of the business case and of coordinating the various stakeholders.

The governance of an enterprise's information system (IS) is a management approach based on best practices, involving all of the managers and not only the IT managers. It aims to take advantage, for its development in the medium term, of costs incurred in its IS in order to obtain the maximal contribution to value creation. This is done by optimizing the consumption of resources and with a level of risk managed and adapted to the challenges, while developing transparency on issues related to the IS. The “Guide to IS Governance Auditing” allow auditors to identify the main dysfunctions by means of a relatively comprehensive but exhaustive “helicopter” view, to then trigger more in-depth audits with the help of the most relevant frameworks, with regard to the identified problem. It also provides a global overview of Enterprise IS governance (EISG) that is relevant to the Executive Committee, the IT and business departments.
