Minister’s Message

   It is my pleasure to present Shared Services Canada’s 2012-13
   Report on Plans and Priorities. This report outlines the new
   Department’s priorities for its first year.

   Shared Services Canada (SSC) is renewing the Government of
   Canada’s information technology (IT) infrastructure to help
   modernize our operations. SSC’s whole-of-government approach is
   enabling IT infrastructure improvements which will underpin modern
   programs and services that are more secure, cost-effective and
   accessible for Canadians.

   Maintaining and improving existing levels of service to our government partners will be this
   year’s primary focus for SSC. Through the initiation of our ambitious multi-year plans,
   however, we will also begin to build the solid foundation upon which our operations will be
   renewed in order to meet the changing needs of tomorrow’s public service.

   In the course of implementing those plans, our transformative projects will see a
   consolidation and standardization of the government’s email systems, data centres and
   networks. For 2012-13, we will identify a single email solution and initiate a competitive
   procurement process. During this year we will also ensure the operational integrity of current
   data centre and network operations and develop our strategies to consolidate data centres
   and rationalize our networks and telecommunications.

   The establishment of SSC signalled a new approach to the management of IT. With the
   launch of SSC, we are taking a major step forward in the modernization of how the public
   service operates. In the process, we are fully harnessing the power of IT, taking advantage
   of technological change and improving security across the government enterprise. In all our
   activities, we will be leveraging public and private sector best practices and, wherever
   possible, will be looking at ways to take advantage of the government’s buying power to
   contribute to returning the government to balanced budgets.

   Through our efforts in 2012-13 and in years to come, I am confident that our new department
   will significantly contribute to improving the delivery of programs and services to Canadians,
   as well as to the sound management of the resources that they have entrusted to us.

                                                                                                    1
Section I: Organizational Overview

    Raison d’être

        Shared Services Canada (SSC) is a federal department created on August 4, 2011, to
        fundamentally transform how the Government of Canada manages its information
        technology (IT) infrastructure. SSC reports to Parliament through the Minister of Public
        Works and Government Services and will deliver mandated email, data centre and network
        services to its partner organizations in a consolidated and standardized manner to support
        the delivery of Government of Canada programs and services. SSC will also provide
        certain optional technology related services to government organizations on a cost-recovery
        basis.

        With a whole-of-government approach to IT, SSC will create economies of scale to deliver
        more efficient, reliable and secure IT infrastructure services to Government of Canada
        departments.




    Responsibilities

    SSC’s Opportunity

        SSC was created to fundamentally change how the federal government manages its IT
        infrastructure in order to better support the delivery of programs and services to Canadians.
        SSC has launched a new and innovative approach to deliver a technology platform for a
        21st century public service – one that is modern, reliable, secure and cost-effective.

        Traditionally, the government’s infrastructure has been managed in silos, with each
        department establishing the services that it required to conduct its business. Over the
        years, that infrastructure became increasingly fragmented, as well as costly to manage and
        maintain. Duplication, unnecessary diversity and inefficiency resulted. Today, the
        government has over 100 different, largely incompatible email systems. Across the country
        it operates over 300 data centres and their use is not rationalized; some function well below
        capacity while others are struggling to meet the demand. Additionally, the government
        supports over 3,000 overlapping and uncoordinated electronic networks. Clearly, the status
        quo is not sustainable.

        SSC’s ambitious plans for the provision of enterprise-wide IT services represent an eight-
        year journey that will yield better value for money and a more robust service backbone for
        modern government operations. These plans are founded on proven models from other
        public-sector jurisdictions and industry.

        Governments and private-sector companies alike have demonstrated that streamlining and
        consolidating in the areas of email, data centres and telecommunications lead to substantial
        service improvement and efficiencies. For example, the government of British Columbia


2   Shared Services Canada
2012-13 Report on Plans and Priorities




    began its consolidation in 2002 and reduced the number of its data centres from over a
    hundred to two data centres by 2011. As a result, its data centre energy costs alone are
    expected to be 50% lower. The government of Ontario reports that at maturity, its IT
    consolidation is saving $100 million annually, which represents 10% of total IT spending
    and between 20% and 25% of IT infrastructure spending.

    By learning from the lessons of other shared services organizations and leveraging their
    best practices, SSC is establishing a model and setting a pace that will deliver increased
    efficiency, better quality and service excellence to the Government of Canada. With a focus
    on service and quality, SSC will be purposeful in its investments, relentlessly pursuing
    common standards and efficiencies. Furthermore, the consolidation of IT services and
    assets will strengthen the government’s efforts to reliably and securely protect the
    information of Canadians. Building security into new infrastructure from the outset and
    collaborating with partners will help the government to better understand cyber threats and
    mitigate attacks.

    The creation of SSC also presents an unprecedented opportunity to bring the government’s
    best and brightest IT talent together to form one Government of Canada “IT bench”. The
    combined and complementary abilities will lead to more coordination and collaboration, and
    will result in more integrated approaches and solutions.

    SSC represents an intersection of need and opportunity. SSC is supporting effective
    government operations by delivering horizontal, enterprise-wide improvements to IT
    infrastructure that supports modern Government of Canada programs and services, and
    makes them more integrated, efficient and accessible for Canadians.

    SSC’s Mandate and Responsibilities

    SSC is mandated to simultaneously operate and transform the government’s IT
    infrastructure. Under the umbrella of that dual authority, SSC is responsible for providing its
    partner organizations with modern, reliable and secure IT infrastructure services that are
    cost-effective and which contribute to a greener government. In the process, it is building a
    new organization from the ground up.

    From an operational perspective, SSC is stabilizing IT service delivery across the
    Government of Canada. With a focus on business continuity, it is maintaining existing
    service levels while working to improve them. SSC is supporting a significant number of
    projects in cooperation with its partners which will both modernize and streamline today’s IT
    operations. This is delivering early results, facilitating SSC’s contribution to the
    government’s deficit reduction efforts, and enabling it to plan and build capacity to take on
    the larger, more complex transformative initiatives.

    In 2012-13, SSC will be launching the renewal of the Government of Canada’s IT
    infrastructure. Working collaboratively with its partners, SSC is identifying an email solution
    and developing initial plans to consolidate data centres and networks in a whole-of-
    government approach. Additionally, as a key security services delivery organization, SSC
    will work collaboratively with other cyber-security agencies to enhance information security



                                                                                                      3
across the Government of Canada in order to support the implementation of federal
        government’s new cyber-security strategy.

        SSC will take advantage of every opportunity to work with partners to fulfill its mandate and
        realize its objective of improving delivery of services to Canadians in a secure, reliable and
        integrated manner. Partner departments and agencies have developed many innovative
        processes, principles and tools over the years and SSC will mine that expertise and
        leverage best practices. Collaborating and maintaining an open, transparent and
        meaningful dialogue with industry on IT modernization will also be a critical component of
        SSC’s success. SSC has mapped an engagement process that focuses on developing a
        sustainable and substantive relationship with the private sector.

        As a new department, SSC is creating a dynamic corporate culture – one that builds on a
        broader public service ethos to embrace innovation as part of its brand. Supporting and
        challenging SSC employees is central to that undertaking. Working together, as a
        community, SSC will deliver service excellence, innovation and value for money as it builds
        a modern, reliable and secure IT platform for the Government of Canada.

Strategic Outcome and Program Activity Architecture (PAA)

   SSC’s Program Activity Architecture (PAA), as approved by the Treasury Board of Canada,
   supports the achievement of the following strategic outcome: Mandated services are
   delivered in a consolidated and standardized manner to support the delivery of Government
   of Canada programs and services for Canadians.

   The current PAA is an interim structure that will be reviewed and refined in future fiscal years.
   In addition to Internal Services, a single Program Activity supported the immediate
   establishment of SSC in 2011-12 and enabled SSC to be included in the 2012-13 Main
   Estimates.

   SSC is committed to participate in the 2013-14 amendment process which will add more
   detail to the PAA. In the interim, two concepts, Operate and Transform, are embedded in the
   PAA architecture in order to reflect the nature of the activities required to achieve the
   strategic outcome.


Strategic Outcome:

        consolidate data centres and
        networks in a whole-of-
        government approach.


    Description

    Why is this a priority?
    The government currently runs 100 different email systems for its employees. It operates over 300 data
    centres across the country, which store data and computing equipment for departments. Across Canada
    today there are thousands of network connections and firewalls in government buildings that link together
    hundreds of thousands of users and devices. Engineered in silos, the overlap has created barriers to
    collaboration and productivity. This duplication and lack of coordination leads to inefficiencies and sub-
    optimal service delivery.

    Plans for meeting the priority
    Email:
    x Assess the current inventory of email systems and confirm requirements with partner organizations;
      and
    x Identify an enterprise-wide email solution in preparation for transition and implementation planning
      phases beginning in the next fiscal year.

    Data Centres:

    x Complete the assessment of data centres, data centre infrastructure, and business uses of the
      infrastructure; and
    x Develop a strategy for data centre consolidation.

    Networks:

    x Complete the assessment of existing IT networks and telecommunications; and
    x Develop a strategy for telecommunications transformation and IT network consolidation.

10   Shared Services Canada
2012-13 Report on Plans and Priorities




Risk Analysis

As a new department, SSC is aware of the magnitude of the challenges it faces and the
associated risks. Our first priority is operational stability – maintaining and improving the delivery
of IT services to the Government of Canada through an enterprise approach. This includes
identifying and managing the risks that can represent threats to information security, business
continuity and disaster recovery.

History has demonstrated that execution of IT projects can carry high risk. Whether developing
applications or consolidating infrastructure, there is associated risk. SSC is putting in place
rigorous management processes that will help to mitigate risks with its infrastructure
consolidation and renewal initiatives and which will provide the ability to adjust quickly. The
organization will closely monitor project progress to support continuous alignment of priorities,
plans and delivery.

SSC is building an entire department from the ground up. SSC employs a highly skilled
workforce of approximately 6,700 employees dispersed across almost every Government of
Canada workplace in Canada. Other jurisdictions and private sector organizations have
emphasized how important it is to pay special attention to human resources and the
development of a positive organizational culture in times of significant transformation. That is
why SSC has focussed particular attention on the transition of its people to the new
organization, the manner in which they are deployed within the organization and their alignment
with mandated initiatives. SSC recognizes that its employees are an invaluable resource and
has committed to a range of activities that include establishing effective Human Resources
structures and placing an emphasis on strong talent management throughout the Department.

Given SSC’s extensive transformation mandate, which has an impact on financial resources,
the organization recognizes the risks that implementation entails. Through its ongoing, proactive
engagement with partners and stakeholders, SSC will appropriately size, structure and
judiciously manage its transformation initiatives. SSC will closely monitor all projects with a
focus on management excellence and will proactively manage all risks. By honouring its
commitments to partners and delivering service improvements, SSC will build a reputation of
service excellence.

Further assessment of key risks, their likelihood and the impact on the organization will be
developed within a corporate risk profile under an Integrated Risk Management Framework
which has been identified as a priority during the first year of operation.

     delivery of IT infrastructure services on our behalf. At this time, there is insufficient information to determine exact numbers, or the split between the IT
     Infrastructure Services program activity and Internal Services.


       Strategic Outcome: Mandated services are delivered in a consolidated and standardized
       manner to support the delivery of Government of Canada programs and services for
       Canadians.

Expenditure Profile


     SSC’s mandate includes the objective to deliver savings in IT Infrastructure services for the
     medium term. Planned spending will decrease over the next three years by $40M as the
     department anticipates savings in the short term, with further reductions planned beyond this.

     Guidelines for the Report on Plans and Priorities instruct departments to provide a graphical
     trend depiction of spending for a total of seven fiscal years: three fiscal years of actual
     (historical) spending, one fiscal year of forecast spending, and three fiscal years of planned
     (future) spending. SSC is a new department and can only report on planned spending. Given
     that the resulting graph is missing four of the seven fiscal years, and cannot depict a trend, the
     graph has not been provided in this initial Report on Plans and Priorities.

     Forecast spending for 2011-12 in the amount of $968 million is not reflected in the SSC Report
     on Plans and Priorities as this amount is currently embedded within the planned spending of the
     43 partner organizations. Planned spending for 2012-13 includes an appropriation of $1,474
     million and respendable revenues (vote netted revenues) of $368 million. Figures for 2013-14
     and beyond include appropriations only as the department currently has no vote-netted revenue
     authority beyond 2012-13.

     Revenue is derived from two sources. The primary source of revenue is the delivery of
     mandatory services and optional services, including IT security, to the partner organizations.
     The second source of revenue is derived from the delivery of these same services on a cost-
     recovery basis to departments and agencies other than the partner organizations.




     Estimates by Vote
        For information on our organizational appropriations, please see the 2012–13 Main
        Estimates publication.

16   Shared Services Canada
2012-13 Report on Plans and Priorities




Planning Highlights


   Activities under this program will directly support the Department’s efforts to consolidate and
   standardize IT infrastructure services for the partner organizations. Activities will include IT
   infrastructure life-cycle management, contract management, licensing, horizontal project
   consolidation, and operational functions organized by portfolio.

   The Department is committed to conducting a competitive solicitation for an email solution by
   the end of fiscal year 2012-13 in order to move the partner organizations to a single reliable
   and secure email solution by 2015.

   The Department will initiate the development of comprehensive plans for the consolidation of
   over 300 Government of Canada data centres and associated services into fewer than 20
   data centres, as well as the transformation of numerous individual departmental networks
   into a consolidated, reliable, and secure enterprise-wide network.




                                                                                                      17

18   Shared Services Canada
2012-13 Report on Plans and Priorities




Planning Highlights


   Activities under the Internal Services program will provide the administrative services needed
   to support the achievement of SSC’s priorities.

   Internal Services support a strong and robust management function. Modern technology
   management is not just about technology; it is about effective leadership in managing the use
   of technology to meet the overall needs of an organization. Modern technology management
   includes the structures and processes for setting direction, establishing standards and
   principles, and prioritizing investments that leverage technology to provide value to partners.

   The Internal Services program focuses on planning, performance management, monitoring of
   internal and external risks, policy compliance and governance. It ensures that SSC is able to
   marshal the human and financial resources needed to deliver on its mandate, and puts in
   place processes and an organizational culture to foster service excellence, innovation and
   value for money.

   SSC will be participating in the 2013-14 PAA amendment process and we will deliver the
   amended PAA to TBS. In addition, SSC will submit the corresponding Performance
   Measurement Framework (PMF) to TBS.

  • 5. 2012-13 Report on Plans and Priorities Minister’s Message It is my pleasure to present Shared Services Canada’s 2012-13 Report on Plans and Priorities. This report outlines the new Department’s priorities for its first year. Shared Services Canada (SSC) is renewing the Government of Canada’s information technology (IT) infrastructure to help modernize our operations. SSC’s whole-of-government approach is enabling IT infrastructure improvements which will underpin modern programs and services that are more secure, cost-effective and accessible for Canadians. Maintaining and improving existing levels of service to our government partners will be this year’s primary focus for SSC. Through the initiation of our ambitious multi-year plans, however, we will also begin to build the solid foundation upon which our operations will be renewed in order to meet the changing needs of tomorrow’s public service. In the course of implementing those plans, our transformative projects will see a consolidation and standardization of the government’s email systems, data centres and networks. For 2012-13, we will identify a single email solution and initiate a competitive procurement process. During this year we will also ensure the operational integrity of current data centre and network operations and develop our strategies to consolidate data centres and rationalize our networks and telecommunications. The establishment of SSC signalled a new approach to the management of IT. With the launch of SSC, we are taking a major step forward in the modernization of how the public service operates. In the process, we are fully harnessing the power of IT, taking advantage of technological change and improving security across the government enterprise. In all our activities, we will be leveraging public and private sector best practices and, wherever possible, will be looking at ways to take advantage of the government’s buying power to contribute to returning the government to balanced budgets. Through our efforts in 2012-13 and in years to come, I am confident that our new department will significantly contribute to improving the delivery of programs and services to Canadians, as well as to the sound management of the resources that they have entrusted to us. Rona Ambrose, P.C., M.P. Minister of Public Works and Government Services and Minister for Status of Women 1
  • 6. Section I: Organizational Overview Raison d’être Shared Services Canada (SSC) is a federal department created on August 4, 2011, to fundamentally transform how the Government of Canada manages its information technology (IT) infrastructure. SSC reports to Parliament through the Minister of Public Works and Government Services and will deliver mandated email, data centre and network services to its partner organizations in a consolidated and standardized manner to support the delivery of Government of Canada programs and services. SSC will also provide certain optional technology related services to government organizations on a cost-recovery basis. With a whole-of-government approach to IT, SSC will create economies of scale to deliver more efficient, reliable and secure IT infrastructure services to Government of Canada departments. Responsibilities SSC’s Opportunity SSC was created to fundamentally change how the federal government manages its IT infrastructure in order to better support the delivery of programs and services to Canadians. SSC has launched a new and innovative approach to deliver a technology platform for a 21st century public service – one that is modern, reliable, secure and cost-effective. Traditionally, the government’s infrastructure has been managed in silos, with each department establishing the services that it required to conduct its business. Over the years, that infrastructure became increasingly fragmented, as well as costly to manage and maintain. Duplication, unnecessary diversity and inefficiency resulted. Today, the government has over 100 different, largely incompatible email systems. Across the country it operates over 300 data centres and their use is not rationalized; some function well below capacity while others are struggling to meet the demand. Additionally, the government supports over 3,000 overlapping and uncoordinated electronic networks. Clearly, the status quo is not sustainable. SSC’s ambitious plans for the provision of enterprise-wide IT services represent an eight- year journey that will yield better value for money and a more robust service backbone for modern government operations. These plans are founded on proven models from other public-sector jurisdictions and industry. Governments and private-sector companies alike have demonstrated that streamlining and consolidating in the areas of email, data centres and telecommunications lead to substantial service improvement and efficiencies. For example, the government of British Columbia 2 Shared Services Canada
  • 7. 2012-13 Report on Plans and Priorities began its consolidation in 2002 and reduced the number of its data centres from over a hundred to two data centres by 2011. As a result, its data centre energy costs alone are expected to be 50% lower. The government of Ontario reports that at maturity, its IT consolidation is saving $100 million annually, which represents 10% of total IT spending and between 20% and 25% of IT infrastructure spending. By learning from the lessons of other shared services organizations and leveraging their best practices, SSC is establishing a model and setting a pace that will deliver increased efficiency, better quality and service excellence to the Government of Canada. With a focus on service and quality, SSC will be purposeful in its investments, relentlessly pursuing common standards and efficiencies. Furthermore, the consolidation of IT services and assets will strengthen the government’s efforts to reliably and securely protect the information of Canadians. Building security into new infrastructure from the outset and collaborating with partners will help the government to better understand cyber threats and mitigate attacks. The creation of SSC also presents an unprecedented opportunity to bring the government’s best and brightest IT talent together to form one Government of Canada “IT bench”. The combined and complementary abilities will lead to more coordination and collaboration, and will result in more integrated approaches and solutions. SSC represents an intersection of need and opportunity. SSC is supporting effective government operations by delivering horizontal, enterprise-wide improvements to IT infrastructure that supports modern Government of Canada programs and services, and makes them more integrated, efficient and accessible for Canadians. SSC’s Mandate and Responsibilities SSC is mandated to simultaneously operate and transform the government’s IT infrastructure. Under the umbrella of that dual authority, SSC is responsible for providing its partner organizations with modern, reliable and secure IT infrastructure services that are cost-effective and which contribute to a greener government. In the process, it is building a new organization from the ground up. From an operational perspective, SSC is stabilizing IT service delivery across the Government of Canada. With a focus on business continuity, it is maintaining existing service levels while working to improve them. SSC is supporting a significant number of projects in cooperation with its partners which will both modernize and streamline today’s IT operations. This is delivering early results, facilitating SSC’s contribution to the government’s deficit reduction efforts, and enabling it to plan and build capacity to take on the larger, more complex transformative initiatives. In 2012-13, SSC will be launching the renewal of the Government of Canada’s IT infrastructure. Working collaboratively with its partners, SSC is identifying an email solution and developing initial plans to consolidate data centres and networks in a whole-of- government approach. Additionally, as a key security services delivery organization, SSC will work collaboratively with other cyber-security agencies to enhance information security 3

SSC will take advantage of every opportunity to work with partners to fulfill its mandate and realize its objective of improving delivery of services to Canadians in a secure, reliable and integrated manner. Partner departments and agencies have developed many innovative processes, principles and tools over the years and SSC will mine that expertise and leverage best practices. Collaborating and maintaining an open, transparent and meaningful dialogue with industry on IT modernization will also be a critical component of SSC’s success. SSC has mapped an engagement process that focuses on developing a sustainable and substantive relationship with the private sector. As a new department, SSC is creating a dynamic corporate culture – one that builds on a broader public service ethos to embrace innovation as part of its brand. Supporting and challenging SSC employees is central to that undertaking. Working together, as a community, SSC will deliver service excellence, innovation and value for money as it builds a modern, reliable and secure IT platform for the Government of Canada. 4 Shared Services Canada
  • 9. 2012-13 Report on Plans and Priorities Strategic Outcome and Program Activity Architecture (PAA) SSC’s Program Activity Architecture (PAA), as approved by the Treasury Board of Canada, supports the achievement of the following strategic outcome: Mandated services are delivered in a consolidated and standardized manner to support the delivery of Government of Canada programs and services for Canadians. The current PAA is an interim structure that will be reviewed and refined in future fiscal years. In addition to Internal Services, a single Program Activity supported the immediate establishment of SSC in 2011-12 and enabled SSC to be included in the 2012-13 Main Estimates. SSC is committed to participate in the 2013-14 amendment process which will add more detail to the PAA. In the interim, two concepts, Operate and Transform, are embedded in the PAA architecture in order to reflect the nature of the activities required to achieve the strategic outcome. Strategic Outcome: Mandated services are delivered in a consolidated and standardized manner to support the delivery of Government of Canada programs and services for Canadians. Program Activities: Efficient and effective IT infrastructure services are delivered across the Government of Canada. Internal Services Operate Transform Description: Enterprise-wide consolidation in the areas of email, data centres and telecommunications improves the overall efficiency, reliability and security of IT infrastructure. 5
  • 10. Organizational Priorities SSC has identified the following four priorities for 2012-13. Priority #1 Type 1 Program Activity Maintain and improve the delivery New Efficient and effective IT infrastructure services are of IT infrastructure services to the delivered across the Government of Canada Government of Canada through an enterprise approach. Description Why is this a priority? Government of Canada IT operations enable and support the delivery of programs and services upon which Canadians depend. For the first time, an enterprise approach will be applied to IT infrastructure and network operations. The focus will be on providing and improving support to government programs and services. Plans for meeting the priority x Maintain IT operational integrity and business continuity: x Adopt an enterprise approach to monitoring IT operations; and x Identify and focus on support to mission-critical systems. x Improve IT service delivery: x Standardize, optimize and implement enterprise incident management, problem management and change management processes; x Enhance IT infrastructure and network operations governance, and facilitate decision-making at the enterprise level; x Align and develop the SSC operations team by establishing functional and regional portfolios; x Identify horizontal, enterprise opportunities to improve IT services; and x Identify opportunities to standardize IT architecture. 1 . There are three types of priorities: previously committed to—(committed to one or two fiscal years prior to the subject year of the report); ongoing—(committed to at least three fiscal years prior to the subject year of the report); and new—(newly committed to in the reporting year of the RPP or DPR). 6 Shared Services Canada
  • 11. 2012-13 Report on Plans and Priorities Streamline IT infrastructure and networks: x Maximize use of existing IT infrastructure to optimize storage of data and identify further optimization opportunities; x Implement standardized government-wide processes to optimize IT assets; x Dispose of unused telephone devices and lines; x Identify opportunities to modernize telephone equipment; x Identify opportunities to leverage and modernize videoconferencing services for the enterprise; and x Identify opportunities to optimize networks.

  • 12. Priority #2 Type Program Activity Launch the renewal of the New Efficient and effective IT infrastructure services are Government of Canada’s IT delivered across the Government of Canada infrastructure. x Identify an email solution; and x Develop initial plans to consolidate data centres and networks in a whole-of- government approach. Description Why is this a priority? The government currently runs 100 different email systems for its employees. It operates over 300 data centres across the country, which store data and computing equipment for departments. Across Canada today there are thousands of network connections and firewalls in government buildings that link together hundreds of thousands of users and devices. Engineered in silos, the overlap has created barriers to collaboration and productivity. This duplication and lack of coordination leads to inefficiencies and sub- optimal service delivery. Plans for meeting the priority Email: x Assess the current inventory of email systems and confirm requirements with partner organizations; and x Identify an enterprise-wide email solution in preparation for transition and implementation planning phases beginning in the next fiscal year. Data Centres: x Complete the assessment of data centres, data centre infrastructure, and business uses of the infrastructure; and x Develop a strategy for data centre consolidation. Networks: x Complete the assessment of existing IT networks and telecommunications; and x Develop a strategy for telecommunications transformation and IT network consolidation. 8 Shared Services Canada

Description Why is this a priority? SSC has inherited an amalgam of IT infrastructure from 43 partner organizations. This necessitates the establishment of appropriate governance mechanisms to engage departments in order to clarify accountability and adopt enterprise approaches for the management of IT infrastructure. These activities directly support the realization of more efficient and effective IT infrastructure service delivery to the Government of Canada. Plans for meeting the priority x Establish external advisory committees to advise SSC on IT infrastructure operations and renewal; x Implement a partnership framework that clarifies the roles and responsibilities assumed by SSC and its partners; x Engage departments on SSC service delivery and performance; x Establish effective outreach to IT communities of interest across the Government of Canada and the external stakeholder community; and x Be transparent with partners by reporting performance regularly. 9
  • 14. Priority #4 Type Program Activity Implement efficient and effective New Internal Services business management processes and services in support of the SSC mandate. Description Why is this a priority? As a new department, SSC brings together resources from 43 partner organizations into a single entity. SSC must adopt best practices and implement administrative processes and services that are sound, efficient and effective for the operation of a new organization that must meet the needs of a diverse and complex client and stakeholder community. Plans for meeting the priority x Deploy business systems for resource management; x Implement corporate policies to support sound management; x Develop a human resources strategy for effective workforce management; x Develop a departmental investment plan; x Develop a corporate performance measurement framework; x Refine the PAA; x Identify opportunities to consolidate accommodations for employees and initiate the development of a long-term accommodation plan; x Create platforms to support virtual teams and leverage contributions from regional staff; x Establish efficient internal services modelled after leading practices in the public and private sectors; x Identify procurement and contract consolidation opportunities; x Develop a communications strategy to engage stakeholders; and x Establish a Departmental Audit Committee to provide effective oversight. 10 Shared Services Canada
  • 15. 2012-13 Report on Plans and Priorities Risk Analysis As a new department, SSC is aware of the magnitude of the challenges it faces and the associated risks. Our first priority is operational stability – maintaining and improving the delivery of IT services to the Government of Canada through an enterprise approach. This includes identifying and managing the risks that can represent threats to information security, business continuity and disaster recovery. History has demonstrated that execution of IT projects can carry high risk. Whether developing applications or consolidating infrastructure, there is associated risk. SSC is putting in place rigorous management processes that will help to mitigate risks with its infrastructure consolidation and renewal initiatives and which will provide the ability to adjust quickly. The organization will closely monitor project progress to support continuous alignment of priorities, plans and delivery. SSC is building an entire department from the ground up. SSC employs a highly skilled workforce of approximately 6,700 employees dispersed across almost every Government of Canada workplace in Canada. Other jurisdictions and private sector organizations have emphasized how important it is to pay special attention to human resources and the development of a positive organizational culture in times of significant transformation. That is why SSC has focussed particular attention on the transition of its people to the new organization, the manner in which they are deployed within the organization and their alignment with mandated initiatives. SSC recognizes that its employees are an invaluable resource and has committed to a range of activities that include establishing effective Human Resources structures and placing an emphasis on strong talent management throughout the Department. Given SSC’s extensive transformation mandate, which has an impact on financial resources, the organization recognizes the risks that implementation entails. Through its ongoing, proactive engagement with partners and stakeholders, SSC will appropriately size, structure and judiciously manage its transformation initiatives. SSC will closely monitor all projects with a focus on management excellence and will proactively manage all risks. By honouring its commitments to partners and delivering service improvements, SSC will build a reputation of service excellence. Further assessment of key risks, their likelihood and the impact on the organization will be developed within a corporate risk profile under an Integrated Risk Management Framework which has been identified as a priority during the first year of operation. 11

  • 18. Expenditure Profile SSC’s mandate includes the objective to deliver savings in IT Infrastructure services for the medium term. Planned spending will decrease over the next three years by $40M as the department anticipates savings in the short term, with further reductions planned beyond this. Guidelines for the Report on Plans and Priorities instruct departments to provide a graphical trend depiction of spending for a total of seven fiscal years: three fiscal years of actual (historical) spending, one fiscal year of forecast spending, and three fiscal years of planned (future) spending. SSC is a new department and can only report on planned spending. Given that the resulting graph is missing four of the seven fiscal years, and cannot depict a trend, the graph has not been provided in this initial Report on Plans and Priorities. Forecast spending for 2011-12 in the amount of $968 million is not reflected in the SSC Report on Plans and Priorities as this amount is currently embedded within the planned spending of the 43 partner organizations. Planned spending for 2012-13 includes an appropriation of $1,474 million and respendable revenues (vote netted revenues) of $368 million. Figures for 2013-14 and beyond include appropriations only as the department currently has no vote-netted revenue authority beyond 2012-13. Revenue is derived from two sources. The primary source of revenue is the delivery of mandatory services and optional services, including IT security, to the partner organizations. The second source of revenue is derived from the delivery of these same services on a cost- recovery basis to departments and agencies other than the partner organizations.
