== 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.
 +
 +
== Role of business capabilities ==
 +
[[GC Enterprise Architecture/Business Capability Model|Business capabilities]] are an expression of '''what a business does''' and can do.
 +
 +
It is proposed that enterprise solutions are defined as business capabilities
 +
 +
== What is needed for Enterprise Solutions to work in the GC? ==
 +
The Enterprise Solutions framework has 3 facets.
 +
[[File:Framework image.jpg|thumb]]
 +
 +
=== '''Governance''' ===
 +
•       What are the roles and responsibilities and who decides who fills them?
 +
 +
•       What is the financial and funding model for an enterprise solution?
 +
 +
•       Which business capabilities should be addressed first?
 +
 +
•       How will user expectations be addressed?
 +
 +
•       What is the path to enterprise-wide adoption?
 +
 +
=== '''Culture''' ===
 +
•       Is everyone ready to buy-in to enterprise solutions?
 +
 +
•       How do we ensure participation?
 +
 +
•       How will open and transparent input be gathered?
 +
 +
•       What are the mind-set and skills needed to foster an enterprise solution culture?
 +
 +
=== '''Solutions''' ===
 +
•       Which business problem are we solving?
 +
 +
•       Who can access the Enterprise Solution?
 +
 +
•       What data and technology standards are required?
 +
 +
•       Is the implementation secure enough?
 +
 +
•       Will it always be reliably online?
 +
 +
== Enterprise Solutions Framework Assessment Key Findings ==
 +
 +
==='''Governance'''===
 +
'''''OK -''''' Pilots have been able to describe their solutions using the BCM, identify the business problem, and value proposition to address user needs
 +
 +
'''''Issue -''''' Enterprise solution opportunities lack a defined path to advance and as a result tend to fizzle out
 +
 +
'''''Issue -''''' Operational enterprise solutions governance and support is at a low maturity level
 +
 +
'''''Issue -''''' Departments are not mandated and lack incentives to provide services to other departments, need a dedicated organization for enterprise solutions.
 +
 +
'''''Issue -''''' Cost recovery and appropriation models are adequate for operational costs, but up-front funding is required for initial development and evolution of enterprise solutions.
 +
 +
=== '''Culture''' ===
 +
'''''OK -''''' Departments are ready to buy into Enterprise solutions once they exist, but lack of available ready to use solutions result in departments developing their own.
 +
 +
'''''Issue -''''' Need dedicated teams of “enterprise” business owners and service providers to develop, operate and evolve enterprise solutions, do we need a Shared Services organization to act as the service provider? Do expand SSC mandate to include applications?
 +
 +
'''''Issue -''''' Mandate use and appropriate departmental funds. Define a clear role and responsibility for users to determine needs and for the Business Owners and Service Provider to be accountable.
 +
 +
=== '''Solutions''' ===
 +
'''''OK -''''' Identifying and developing enterprise solutions is not a problem, focus needs to be on governance and culture
 +
 +
'''''OK -''''' Pilots have been able to define the business problem and processes like the concept case and GCEARB are existing tools that can be used
 +
 +
'''''OK -''''' Cloud base solutions from public cloud service providers are enabling business owners to envision enterprise solutions but they need technical partnerships from dedicated solution providers to provision IT
 +
 +
== Proposed Roles and Responsibilities for Enterprise solutions ==
 +
'''Stakeholders, defines ”who”'''
 +
 +
Stakeholders in the form of a ‘product board’ determine and validate user needs, prioritize the delivery roadmap and manage the related expenditures.
 +
 +

 +
== Proposed Governance for Enterprise solutions ==
 +
 +
=== '''Product management board per solution''' ===
 +
•       Cross departmental stakeholder representation
 +
 +
=== '''DM CEPP''' ===
 +
•       Enterprise Business Direction
 +
 +
=== '''GC EARB''' ===
