Enterprise Solutions definition

Enterprise solutions are internal and external Government of Canada assets capable of being re-used again or repeatedly. The Business Capability Model will be used as a baseline to describe the functionality of the GC re-usable asset.

Re-usable assets can include and are not limited to:

  • User journeys and business process models
  • Information and data standards
  • Application software and accelerators
  • Technology solutions
  • Security and privacy standards and guardrails
  • Procurement vehicles

Benefits of Enterprise solutions:

  • provide a more cohesive digital experience for users and other stakeholders,
  • reduce the total cost of ownership to provision external and internal services
  • enhance integration and collaboration, create transferable skill sets, and leverage innovative work across the GC and the private sector.

Decision Making Framework for Enterprise Solutions

Presented at GC EARB on June 4th, 2020

Under the Policy on Service and Digital, departmental CIO’s are responsible for “submitting to GC EARB, proposals concerned with the design, development, installation and implementation of digital initiatives”. They are also responsible for “adopting, as applicable, enterprise solutions within their respective department.”

Decision Making Framework

Increasingly, a number of departmental digital initiatives propose solutions that address matters with common business capabilities, resulting in a diverse range of applications in operations across the GC IT landscape. TBS has recognized a need to provide assistance to departmental CIO’s to inform decision-making with respect to the adoption of enterprise solutions.

The following presentation is the first iteration of a working draft of a decision making framework that will be used as a guide for the adoption of enterprise solutions. The framework will be added to the revised GC EARB presenter template. Please send us your feedback on the decision making framework for enterprise solutions to the [Enterprise Architecture team]
