A series of procedures are followed to implement the InfoSoc Operational Programme which commence with planning and end with auditing of projects that have been included in the programme. The InfoSoc Operational Programme core text includes the key priorities of the Programme which are expanded upon in the Programming Complement which includes revisions and additions adjusted to present-day needs and requirements.

In order to successfully complete the Operational Programme in due time a series of tools are used such as reverse planning, expenditure forecasting , etc. while implementation starts with the selection of projects to be included in the Operational Programme up to financing and auditing of their progress.

The Operational Programme Managing Authority is responsible for selecting or rejecting operations (projects) for inclusion and in general this includes the following stages: a call to potential Final Beneficiaries to submit proposals, evaluation of those proposals and issuing of a decision to include projects in the programme. 

Projects are financed by EU Structural Funds such as the European Social Fund (ESF) and the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) while public funds are secured via the Public Investments Programme (PIP).

Audit and control procedures (on-the-spot, preventative controls, etc.) are carried out to ensure that the monies made available for implementing operations are used in the best possible way as quickly as possible.  Where infringements are noted during controls, financial correction procedures are activated and projects may even be de-listed.

Lastly, an equally important stage for successful completion of the Operational Programme is the publicity action plan.

Among other things, this seeks to inform potential final beneficiaries and final recipients, disclose the contents of the programme and update them about its areas of activity, generate a positive climate for acceptance and support of the programme, provide information and raise awareness about the services of the public sector and supervised agencies and to generate messages which will be used to maximise the effectiveness of the programme's communication strategy.
