DevOps & Blockchain: Powering Rapid Software Delivery in Regulated EnvironmentsCognizant
As IT organizations push forward with DevOps tools that automate application development and maintenance processes, they can lose sight of the key “who, what, where and when” variables that surround software releases, thus elevating the possibility of noncompliance with a host of regulatory mandates. By embracing blockchain, they can create a tamper-proof way of ensuring regulatory compliance while extending their embrace of IT service automation.

Relationship to Resource: Manager – Legacy Systems
Project Description
The Trade Controls and Technical Barriers Bureau of the Global Affairs Canada (GAC), formerly known as
Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development (DFATD), is responsible for the administration of the
Export and Import Permits Act (EIPA). The Act provides the Minister of Foreign Affairs with the authority to
implement provisions of various international agreements and domestic policies, through the issuance of
permits for the movement of goods, and authorizes the Government of Canada to control the import and
export of certain goods as defined by various inter-governmental arrangements; control the export of natural
resources and other goods for the purpose of ensuring both adequate supply and for the security of Canada;
and issue export and import permits for controlled goods.
To satisfy this mandate, the Bureau relies on GAC’s Export Import Controls System (EICS) and Export
Controls On-Line (EXCOL) applications:
The Export Import Control System (EICS) supports the application, approval, and processing of
import/export permits. The system also features import/export quota management functionality.
Access to the new EICS is provided using two methods: WEB access and Electronic Data
Interchange (EDI) over the Internet. EDI transactions are restricted to permit application processing;
and
The Export Controls On-Line (EXCOL) is a custom developed web application, designed, developed
and delivered to support on-line submission of applications, supporting documentation and on-going
reporting processes for the administration of approved permits. The system also supports internal
processing of applications and administration of approved permits and certificates using a custom
developed workflow engine.
The EICS and EXCOL systems applications are currently operating under significant technical risks of failure
due to their dependence on outdated and non-supported software platforms. Both systems are classified as
mission critical systems for the Department required to support the implementation and management of the
Export and Import Permits Act (EIPA), are highly complex and provide a full range of services to Canadian
3. Telma Dehghani Annex A—3
Senior Business Analyst– Level 3
importers and exporters (Clients) as well as Government departments. The initiative for their renewal and
improvement was identified as a Department priority.
R4 The scope of the EICS II IT systems development/implementation project is to provide complete
replacement functionality for EICS and EXCOL systems by a single, web-enabled platform called EICS II. It is
driven by the fact that the current systems rely on software and hardware which is at end-of-life. The legacy
systems issue over 400,000 permits per year covering trade valued at well over $100 billion. Replacing the
two aging systems will ensure stable application availability, will significantly reduce the number of incidents
reported by GAC’s clients and will result in quicker, more efficient and higher quality interactions between
GAC and its clients. EICS II will be an essential element of the Bureau’s day to day business operations and
currently supports the permitting of all controlled commodities to and from. As such, it will provide more than
4,000 Canadian businesses and individuals with an electronic mechanism to apply for Import and Export
Permits, Advisory Opinions, International Import Certificates, and Delivery Verification Certificates.
The solution is based on a multi-tiered architecture that uses .NET for the web front end interface to external
brokers, and a Siebel back end to manage and implement the complex business rules pertaining to permit
generation and quota management.The client server (internal) and web based (external) EICS II is a regional
and national complex business system that involves commodities and quotas with multi-step processes as
well as form-based applications. The process applicant uses .NET to apply for an Import or Export permit.
The application permit is then submitted and stored in SIEBEL. In SIEBEL the Application Permit will be
included in an automated workflow, and manual steps to obtain approval. When approved the Permit is
generated and provided to the application. The applicant can then present the Permit at the border to allow
exportation or importation of an item. The EICS II system interfaces with the CBSA system and the CRA
systems to record the use of a permit.
The EICS II Web Interface allows for electronic transactions to be performed in a modern Internet setting.
Participants communicate over the Internet using a standard web browser (Microsoft Internet Explorer)
augmented by security software (Entrust/PKI). Sessions feature permit and quota management, and inquiry
capabilities.
The EDI interface/data flow is designed for Customs brokers who wish to use a business-to-business link for
bulk transactions to the Export Import Control System. Interfacing via EDI allows brokers to build an
electronic link between their existing system and the Bureau's EICS, avoiding the re-entry of data.
The technology platform is .NET 4.5, Forms with C# code-behind, WCF web services, SQL Server, T-SQL,
ESB used to integrate web front end with Siebel CRM v8, and TFS for source code control and build
processes.
The project is also a business transformation project as it involves the transformation of all business
components associated with these large systems. Business processes, security protocols, Use-cases, and
other business functions were all transformed to fully leverage the functionality of the new system.
R4 EICS II will be integrated with various systems, applications and solutions in order to implement various
functionalities:
The Enterprise Access Management (EAM) is a GAC-led centralized identity and access management
(IAM) solution that allows multiple GAC applications to share a common security authentication and
authorization access across their applications. The EICS II application will be the first application
integrated with the EAM solution and serves as a model for future application integration;

The Single Window Initiative (SWI) is a Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA)-led program aimed at
modernizing and aligning Canadian and U.S. import processing procedures under the Beyond the Border
Action Plan. Through the SWI initiative, traders will be able to provide all required import information
required by Participating Government Agencies electronically to the CBSA. In turn, the CBSA will
transmit any applicable data elements directly to the nine participating PGA(s) for their review. The
applicable PGA(s) will review the transmitted information and provide release, or hold, instructions back
to the CBSA. The CBSA will then transmit this information back to the applicable filer. This single
integrated solution provides the trade community with the option to satisfy the regulatory import
requirements of multiple government agencies via a single electronic transmission of shipment
information through the Integrated Import Declaration (IID). This streamlines the importing process,
eliminates redundancies, and ideally reduces clearance times for shipments requiring formal entries. The
CBSA, using the SWI interfaces with EICS II, validates and enforces the EIPA;
Cognos Business Intelligence (BI) reporting application is where EICS II will be providing in-depth
reporting and analytics for the EICS program; and
EICS II Pre-Enrollment is an interface application that allows users on the EICS I application to be able to
self-register and migrate their account information to EICS II.
