|Microsoft Teams has quickly become the ultimate collaboration and teamwork application. Users can add, customize, and find everything they need in one place without the need to navigate to different places. Custom applications hosted in a cloud environment can interact with on-premise systems through APIs. The custom applications can be further integrated into Teams or other M365 components to expose the data and functionalities of the on-premise systems. Integrating custom applications and services into Teams platform can improve the productivity, provide focus and enhance collaboration. The presentation will go through the following parts:
*1. Interoperability between SaaS-based solutions and GC internal resources in accordance with the security standard;
*2. Exposing on-premise data and business logic through APIs;
*3. Hosting a custom application in Azure;
*4. Integrating a custom application with Teams;
*5. Live demonstration to show how it works.

|As the GC becomes increasingly reliant on commercially provided services, the risk of lock-in
weighs on the minds of departments. However, It is important to have a balanced
perspective and properly weigh the risk of lock-in against the opportunities gained when
using as-a-service models. <br>
Information Technology has increasingly become commoditized. as-a-Service models and
public cloud are at the forefront of this commoditization. Using these services to modernize
application portfolios and at-risk technologies involves increasing reliance on private sector
providers. This brings with it the fear of lock-in. Lock-in is not unique to cloud, for years the
GC has been managing the exit strategy from a variety of technologies such as mainframe,
data centres, operating systems, databases, and Enterprise Resource Planning systems to
name a few. As this guide will show, the decision to commit to a technology and when to exit
cannot be driven by fear and risk alone, but must be weighed against the opportunity gained.

|After successfully migrating its entire application portfolio from a legacy data centre to public cloud, the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat is now all-in on cloud. Currently, many cloud adoption strategies are begin advocated; amongst them are multi-cloud and hybrid cloud/IT strategies. Why then did TBS decide to modernize using one public cloud provider and commit all its applications to cloud? In this fireside chat we'll hear from Paul Girard, Chief Information Officer and Sevac Eskibashian as to why TBS has gone all-in and the journey to migrate, retire, and modernize its application portfolio.

|How much would it cost you to stand up a bare-bones web page in government that was “approved” to collect personal information? In other words, what’s the price tag for a government site that only says: “Hello world” but had gone through all the paperwork, infrastructure setup and approvals for collecting “Protected B” information. For our small project we estimate it's been over $500,000... and we're still not there yet. This represents a massive burden for small projects that will greatly limit innovation in the GoC if it persist. I will look at where we spent this money, then share my advice for small projects looking to prototype new services in government and share some thoughts on the broader implications for government.

|The sudden onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada, and the crucial need for public situational awareness, brought several departments together with an urgent and shared requirement for a means to create and deliver key data and information to decision-makers and the public. Within 72 hours of the ask for a shared cloud environment, Natural Resources Canada’s Federal Geospatial Platform team deployed a horizontal, multi-jurisdictional, geospatially enabled cloud that provided Public Health Agency Canada, Statistics Canada and NRCan, as well as provincial, territorial and private sector partners, with a shared environment for the rapid consolidation of key data, which was used to create online data visualizations and situational dashboards to inform on the unfolding crisis. Updated every 12 hours, the online maps and dashboards are publically available on the PHAC web site and are used in daily briefings with Canada’s Chief Public Health Officer, Dr. Tam.
<br>
The quick and agile deployment and marked success of the COVID-19 horizontal cloud has shown the true potential of an open, horizontal, cloud-based platform when working across jurisdictions. From the geospatial perspective, the COVID-19 cloud clearly demonstrates how the federal government can work effectively, across departmental and jurisdictional boundaries, and respond to crises in a timely manner. In this presentation, we will explain how a horizontal cloud approach that leverages leading edge geospatial information could revolutionize the way departments and agencies respond to future emergencies: how the collaboration was formed and governed, what technology was put into place, how the data was shaped and presented, and the key outcomes of this highly successful collaboration.

|The Communications Research Centre’s (CRC’s) Virtual Research Domain (VRD) is a cloud-based data processing and research environment. CRC’s data science team works in the VRD on big data problems relating to wireless telecommunications. When the pandemic hit, CRC was able to quickly pivot, repurposing existing research and data sets to study and measure mobility metrics for the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC). Learn how the VRD and access to hundreds of terabytes of anonymous telecommunications data allowed the CRC to help PHAC understand how Canadians were self-isolating.

|Cloud technology is quicky advancing, and with it comes larger opportunities for failure whether human led, system led or both. This talk covers some of the different failures that the Cloud Native Platform team at Statistics Canada has encountered while building a platform based on Kubernetes, CNCF and other open source technologies and growing as a team. On the human front, we'll focus on how errors can easily happen and how we can learn from them to prevent them from occurring again. On the system front, we'll walk through how to identify the problem and working with the community to find a resolution.

|We would like to share our story of how we rapidly deployed a modern and open analytics platform in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic. Using a combination of Azure platform-as-a-service and open-source technology, we were able to deliver core analysis and collaboration capabilities to our data scientists – accessible from home equipment – within fifteen business days.
We will cover topics such as:
* Partnership: Creating a multidisciplinary team across the organization to contribute directly to the platform.
* Azure Services: How we leveraged core cloud services to enable authentication for internal and external users across loosely coupled components.
* Process: Lightweight agile methodology, working in the open, and leveraging GitHub for repository management and CI/CD.
* Tooling: Some of the open tools and services we set up that give scientists quick access to auto-scaling compute, storage, and specialized hardware (e.g. GPUs).
* Example use case: Demonstrate an actual data science product created using our Advanced Analytics Workspace.

|The path to the cloud is essentially about change. Technical advancement is not the only area of our work that is changing. Across the government, more and more departments and teams are moving to a multi-disciplinary approach, moving away from projects and towards products, and recognizing the importance of conducting research with users to make data-driven product decisions.
<br>
A key element in how our work is changing is the focus on user outcomes rather than team outputs. This talk will focus specifically on product visioning and how our team at Code for Canada and Transport Canada developed a product vision for ongoing work aimed at transforming the seafarer certification process with that goal of achieving positive outcomes

<span style="font-size: 1.5em;">Information for Presenters</span><br>
Without presenters, Stratosphere is a platform without content.
Last year, over 25 presenters came forward to share with their peers across the GC. We need your help again. This year, we will be asking presenters to record and submit a video of their session. Your video will be scheduled to stream at a designated time on the Stratosphere YouTube channel. While streaming, we are asking presenters to participate in a live chat with viewers.
Key dates
* Provide any changes or corrections to the draft schedule (August 28th)
* Deadline for presenters submit a recording (September 17th)
* Event takes place (October 6th & 7th)
*See tips for recording your presentation:
**[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8JV3w4TOVw How to use PowerPoint Office 365 to record presentations (YouTube)]
**Using conferencing tools such as Team, Zoom, or Google Meetup is another method of recording a presentation
**Remember your audience and what they can learn from what you have accomplished.
**Be professional. No vulgarity. Criticisms should be constructive.
**While your recording does not need to be well polished, clear audio without echos or background noises will help the audience focus on your message. If needed, place pillows around the room to eliminate echos.
**If you have one, use an external microphone. Even inexpensive lav and headset microphones can provide clearer audio.
**Sessions are all pre-recorded and will be scheduled to stream according to a pre-determined schedule using YouTube Premiere Live.
