Global enterprise solution – domestic electronic security system (DESS)

Description of Work:

The objective of the global enterprise solution for the Domestic Electronic Security System (DESS) is to provide the Canada Economic Development (CED) with a computer-based system with which to protect, defend and respond to actual and potential security and life-safety events and situations affecting its people, assets and information.

The global enterprise solution initiative must be scalable to accommodate CCTV in the future. The solution must have a secure web access capability to access from a remote location. An accredited cloud service as per GC standards must be available with data residing in Canada. A redundancy solution will be required. The integration of the new IDACS will be required at 12 sites as indicated in below. CED plans to upgrade those sites in a systematic fashion over the entire duration of the project. At this time, it is expected that such upgrades would occur in fiscal years 22/23. To successfully complete those processes, CED would need to engage the vendor through the utilization of their resources (hardware and software engineers, etc.). Their role would be to assist CED in understanding their system and to finalize the hardware and software platform required for their application, as well as to assist in designing and documenting a network strategy that would fit with CED's environment and allow for the required communications of their devices, such as appliances or cloud or servers. In addition to this, CED would also have a requirement for training on the proposed solution to ensure that the resources are sufficiently knowledgeable on the new product. Training would involve six participants.
