GC Enterprise Architecture/Enterprise Solutions
What is enterprise?
Enterprise is generally defined as “an organization” or “organizational unit”
In the GC, ‘enterprise’ refers to a whole-of-government holistic approach.
An enterprise approach can be applied various facets, like governance, solutions, standards and culture.
Enterprise solutions definition
Enterprise solutions are internal and external Government of Canada assets that can be re-used in and across multiple parts of the organization.
Why focus on enterprise solutions?
To “operate as one” and advance the CEPP mandate we propose to focus on enterprise solutions defined by to business capabilities.

Mandate[edit | edit source]
Develop and implement methods to deliver enterprise IT solutions across the GC to support departments’ digital needs while improving service delivery.
Enterprise Solutions definition[edit | edit source]
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:[edit | edit source]
- 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[edit | edit source]
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]
The following initiatives endorsed by GC EARB have characteristics of Enterprise Solutions, re-usable assets[edit | edit source]
