Business architecture is a critical aspect for the successful implementation of the GC Enterprise Ecosystem Target Architecture.  The architectural strategy advocates whole-of-government approach where IT is aligned to business services and solutions are based on re-useable components implementing business capabilities in order to deliver a cohesive user experience.   As such, it is essential that business services, stakeholder needs, opportunities to improve cohesion and opportunities for re-use across government be clearly understood.   In the past these elements have not been a priority.  It is expected that the IT culture and practices will have to change to make business architecture, in general, and these elements, in particular, a primary focus.

Information architecture best practices and principles remain consistent but their focus must accommodate the needs of a business service and business capability orientation.  In particular, in order to share information across Government, information architecture must address the higher standards needed in terms of the awareness of the information handling needs of each piece of data – its source, quality, and associated policy obligations. <u>The collection, use and management of personal information requires adherence to the principles and requirements of GC privacy legislation and its related policies.</u>
