Description of Work:
The Information Management Services (IMS) section of Correctional Service Canada (CSC) requires the services of senior Informatics professional resources with knowledge and experience supporting and assisting with Protected B-compliant Cloud Engineering, Architecture, Deployment, Security and System Administration, in accordance with the Government of Canada (GC) directives and policies for Cloud-based GC Services (https://www.canada.ca/en/government/system/digital-government/digital-g…).
This Contract is to provide delivery assistance for CSC’s IMS Cloud Strategy two main objectives to be met in the coming years.
The first objective is modernizing CSC’s Cloud development and provisioning approach by leveraging Infrastructure as Code and Development - Security - Operations (DevSecOps) best practices. This will involve a redesign of some foundational services and a new Azure Core Platform landing zone deployment. The end goal is secure, repeatable, and predictable patterns that will be leveraged to accelerate CSC’s application migrations to the public Cloud.
The second objective is to migrate CSC’s existing national applications to the public Cloud, with an initial target of migrating 25 percent. CSC will derive numerous benefits for Canada’s security from modernizing CSC applications and moving them to the Cloud, including:
• Reducing the risk and lowering the cost and level of effort of migrating CSC’s systems to Enterprise Data Centres as part of Shared Services Canada (SSC)’s Workload Migration project.
• Modernizing legacy applications to allow the CSC to reduce its risk of exposure to unsupported technology for which finding expertise is extremely challenging (reduces technical debt).
• Attracting talent to the CSC and enabling CSC’s workforce to work smarter.
• Optimizing CSC’s processes and tools.
