What is GCcollaboration
In response to COVID-19, the Government of Canada is temporarily launching GCcollaboration, a suite of Microsoft 365 tools that are available:
- on the cloud
- from any personal device
- for unprotected/unclassified information and discussions
Why is GCcollaboration being launched now?
The Government of Canada is launching GCcollaboration to offer public servants a suite of tools to support their remote working arrangements due to the COVID-19 epidemic.
The purpose is to enable the use of video and audio conferencing in MS Teams for public servants and reduce the need of VPN access.
GCcollaboration also ensures that public servants have access to software that enables them to work together from home during this crisis.
Important Information
Before you use GCcollaboration, note the following:
