1) To stabilize the IT landscape and ensure continuity of services to Canadians, TBS and SSC are working in collaboration with GC departments that demonstrate a readiness to modernize applications and migrate them to end state hosting platforms ([https://wiki.gccollab.ca/GC_Cloud_Infocentre cloud] or enterprise data centres).

If endorsed by governance, those priorities will be eligible for access to Application Modernization funds and support from the Workload Migration program. Departments are required to complete the [https://gccollab.ca/file/view/2650400/engeneric-wlm-app-mod-gcearb-gate1-prioritizationfr a GCEARB Gate1 (Prioritization) template] and engage your Departmental Architecture Review Board before being brought forward to request endorsement by governance ([https://gccollab.ca/groups/profile/2006418/enworkload-migration-working-groupfrgroupe-de-travail-sur-la-migration-des-charges-de-travail WLM Working group], [[GC EARB]], ADM CEPP, and DM CEPP). The request for endorsement is a department’s opportunity to make a strong business case for investment to address at-risk technologies.
The endorsement of priority at-risk technologies must be supported by the departments’ Application Portfolio Management (APM) data, readiness to proceed with the application modernization framework (described on this page), and the strategy that will be used to modernize (rehost, replatform, refactor, replace and to which hosting platform; data centre or [https://wiki.gccollab.ca/GC_Cloud_Infocentre cloud] services)

Once priorities are reached and the impacted partner departments are notified, the Application Modernization starter kit package, along with application modernization handbook and [https://gccollab.ca/file/view/1760164/enfaq-wlm-app-mod-enfrfaq-wlm-app-mod-en| FAQ] documents are provided. This package contains [https://gccollab.ca/file/view/2649702/engeneric-wlm-app-mod-gcearb-gate1-discoveryfr| GC EARB Gate 1 (Discovery) template], [https://wiki.gccollab.ca/images/0/0e/SamplePortfolioAnalysis.png Departmental & Data Centre View dashboard], and [https://gccollab.ca/file/view/3088763/engeneric-wlm-app-mod-business-casefr| Business case template]. Partner departments are provided guidance/assistance throughout the engagement to complete the prerequisite step of updating the APM to provide an accurate list of applications. A new model for funding calculations is currently being developed and will be ready for utilization by the end of September 2020.
Once priorities are reached and departments are notified, the TBS-OCIO project manager will provide guidance and tools to start the department's journey.
