As the Government of Canada evolve its Digital Transformation’s activities, the role of Enterprise Architecture in the GC has become more pronounced. Since the first inception of GC Enterprise Architecture Review Board (GC EARB) in 2017, more and more departments have come to an understanding of the importance of having a good overview of their overall IT systems and create a Target Architecture of their IT systems to optimize their operations in order to provide a better service to Canadians. Because of this, the adoption of Enterprise Architecture has increased dramatically over the years. Through various engagements and evolution of the GC Enterprise Architecture framework that follows industry trends to meet the departmental operational needs, we have seen great improvements of IM/IT implementations throughout the GC.
This presentation will present the EA story that include governance, policy evolution and guidance that helps the GC to establish and maintain their EA practices until today.
