<h1>The Open, Accessible Digital Workspace</h1>

<h1>The Open, Accessible Digital Workspace</h1>

The Open, Accessible Digital Workspace (OADW) is an ecosystem of digital services designed to enable civil servants and beyond to get their work done. The OADW will meet the user and business needs to provide the landscape required for efficient digital collaboration and a capable workforce. This workspace will fill a critical gap in the existing set of tools available to public servants as a public commons for the digital age. The OADW will provide a suite of applications and digital services that are universal and accessible, aimed at increasing collaboration and productivity between government, partners, academics and more.

Back end development involves the deployment and management of containerized microservices through Kubernetes. Kubernetes is an open source system for automating the deployment and scaling of services; allowing a service to be managed, without affecting other services, while being linked in an ecosystem. Each service can be turned on (available to members) or turned off (for updates and maintenance) seamlessly.

The DCD has two governance bodies to provide guidance, make higher order decisions on the OADW, and ensure individual service teams (dedicated to building, enhancing, and maintaining services like Account, Profile, Collab, etc.) are aligned with the overall OADW vision. The two governance bodies are the Advisory Committee and the Secretariat.
