Description of Work:

Parks Canada depends on effective and secure digital technology services to deliver its mandate. Along with the rest of the Government of Canada (GC), Parks Canada is evolving its workplace technology to reflect an enterprise approach to managing information, data, technology and security. Parks Canada's Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO) is responsible for providing national leadership for the information management and information technology services for the Agency. 

The OCIO has established priority areas where our team will concentrate efforts. They are:

• implementing best practices for IT service management;
• transforming collaboration, knowledge sharing, and information management;
• providing new tools to enable the workforce to benefit from cloud services;
• improving our network infrastructure and telecommunications;
• developing innovative business solutions
• enabling a mobile workforce; and
• connecting with Canadians via OpenData.

The OCIO continues to focus efforts to support the Agency's priorities and business lines. The CIO is working closely with SSC to ensure that the Agency’s underlying infrastructure is continuously improved to support modern workforce enabling tools. The Agency is also looking beyond to cloud solution providers to implement flexible solutions. In addition, infrastructure investments will be made to find cost effective solutions to improve connectivity for remote regions who are being disadvantaged by centralised systems such as Phoenix and the Shared Travel System Portal.
