About High Level Design

In the High-level Design (HLD) major task, sessions will take place to validate the future state GC business process flows for the end-to-end EPS processes, which will confirm EPS business requirements. First, current-state business processes from both PSPC and other government departments will be compared. The future-state discussions will include recommendations for streamlining and standardizing end-to-end processes. The future-state GC business processes will include recommendations for re-engineering and streamlining end-to-end processes.

Below you will find information about each of the HLD sessions, as well as all accompanying information that was provided to attendees.
