 Presentation
Government-Wide Enterprise
Architecture in the Canadian Federal Government
The Government of Canada CIO has been an early adopter of enterprise architecture
starting in 1994, when the IM/IT BluePrint was published. The Federated Architecture
Program (FAP) followed in 2000 and described the design principles for integrating
information and information technology across the Government of Canada (GC)
which set the stage for “whole of government” business improvement.
That early work was highly instrumental in setting a strong foundation for
the Government-On-Line initiatives. While Canada has been internationally
recognized as a world leader for the last five years in a row, Canadians
want more than just services on-line. As a result, the CIO branch is leading
the charge beyond IT centric Enterprise Architecture (EA).
Since the publication of FAP, the evolution of the architecture
program has been closely aligned with government on line,
and more recent strategies for client centric service delivery.
As a consequence, the role of the Government of Canada’s
CIO has grown to include the government-wide pursuit of
excellence in service delivery, as well as the management
of information and technology.
TBS is now undertaking the highly strategic work of enterprise
service transformation and incorporating enterprise business
architecture as an essential tool to enable more citizen
centric service delivery, harvesting the benefits of service
integration, and optimization in terms of quality, consistency
and efficiency.
With this in view, building capacity, capability and standards
for Enterprise Architecture remains a key challenge for
realizing the expected benefits for citizens. This presentation
will share learning and how the GC EA program is evolving.
