Under [https://www.canada.ca/en/shared-services/ssc-3-enterprise-approach.html SSC 3.0], the Workload Migration (WLM) Program facilitates the migration of government applications from aging legacy data centres to modern, more secure and reliable solutions – whether cloud, state-of-the-art enterprise data centre (EDC) or a hybrid of the two. The ultimate purpose is to migrate department workloads to reliable, modern, and secure hosting options.

Information technology (IT) infrastructure is a key Government of Canada priority. A WLM project will provide your department or agency with one or more of the following benefits:
 +
* Reduce risk and increase reliability of IT infrastructure;
 +
* Improve and secure GC cyber and IT security;
 +
* Leverage new Cloud technologies;
 +
* Better serve Canadians with secure digital technology to ensure successful delivery of the various government programs and services as well as protect the privacy of Canadians and others interacting with the government;
 +
* Support the GC [https://www.tbs-sct.gc.ca/pol/doc-eng.aspx?id=32603 Policy on Service and Digital] which state how GC organizations manage service delivery, information and data, information technology, and cyber security in the digital era.

−
* Leverage new Cloud technologies
+
SSC works in collaboration with the Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO) at Treasury Board Secretariat (TBS) to prioritize WLM projects using the state of the data centre, the health of the applications, and the readiness of the partner department or agency as criteria Specifically, prioritization is based on: 
−
* Support TB policy and strategy direction such as the Policy on the Management of Information Technology, the Policy on Service, and the Digital Operations Strategic Plan
+
* '''At-Risk IT Infrastructure''': lease expiry, failing infrastructure (including network), facilities pressure, power, space, cooling, condition of data center
−
* Reduce risk and increase reliability
+
* '''At-Risk Applications''': presence of critical workloads, customer readiness to migrate (specifically to cloud), High Business Value, high degree of technical risk
−
* Improve GC cyber security
     −
 
+
The prioritization of WLM projects ultimately requires the approval from the Government of Canada Chief Information Officer (GC CIO), following endorsements from the following governance bodies:
−
If your department of agency is impacted by a WLM project, you will benefit from outcomes such as:
+
* WLM Working Group (co-chaired by SSC’s WLM Program and TBS’ OCIO)
−
 
+
* GC Enterprise Architecture Review Board (GC EARB)
−
* Reliable IT infrastructure to ensure successful delivery of the government programs and services for Canadians.
+
* Assistant Deputy Minister Committee on Enterprise Priorities and Planning (ADM CEPP)
−
* Modern technology provides Canadians with digital technology to receive the services they need.
+
* Deputy Minister Committee on Enterprise Priorities and Planning (DM CEPP)
−
* Secure cyber and IT security that is able to protect the privacy of Canadians and others interacting with the government.
+
Once a project has been endorsed by the aforementioned governance bodies, a memorandum of understanding (MoU) is signed by the GC CIO and participating department.
