Les biens immobiliers de la transformation des gestionnaires de projet

On May 29, 2014, a decision was taken by Treasury Board (TB) to undertake an Independent Third Party Review of the Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development (DFATD) real property function. A consultant was retained to undertake this work. A report with nine (9) recommendations was completed in May 2015. A related work plan was developed with nine (9) intervention streams and is being implemented since fall 2015. However, additional transformational interventions are required to reinforce real property management some of which include an information technology (IT) dimension.

Real property management is done with help from a division (IT Services) which oversees the maintenance of portfolio supporting applications. These applications are offered on a wide variety of technologies, but have been, over time, consolidating to a single Standard Query Language (SQL) backend database and Component Scalable Logical Architecture (CSLA) Data Portal to serve data to applications. All new applications are being developed with these technologies. This work requires collaboration with the departmental IM-IT Bureau.

IT maintenance mostly takes the form of overseeing custom built and supported software. Some of these applications are at end of life and can no longer be supported. Furthermore, others function in isolation; data sharing with each other or the GAC corporate data warehouse is also often insufficient. 

As part of the efforts to transform the real property function, several business processes are being reviewed or must be added or redesigned for the purpose of improving performance. This optimization will enable the organization to be more efficient and more effective. Redesign of business processes includes both a work dimension and a technological dimension.
