Description of Work:
The Government of Canada (GOC) is increasingly facing challenges with aging infrastructure and the increasing cost of maintenance and renewal of traditional IT applications. Global Affairs Canada, experiencing the same challenges as the rest of the Government of Canada, is consolidating and revising how it tackles aging infrastructure via the workload migration initiative.
The XRM Business Apps Center of Excellence is a team of client relationship management and extended relationship management specialized resources that are mandated to empower Global Affairs Canada by de-centralizing the planning, discovery, conceptualization, development, deployment and maintenance of MS Dynamics 365 solutions.
The Center of Excellence is aiming to provide clients with Project Management and Business Analysis resources to help the business better identify opportunities to be more digital.
Additionally, in support of its “Cloud First” Strategy, The Cloud Competency Centre at Global Affairs Canada (GAC) has a requirement for cloud expertise in the project management domain in order to plan, implement and monitor cloud environments for up to Protected B workloads in Microsoft Azure.
Global Affairs Canada is trying to build a pool of resources that have experience in the planning, discovery, conceptualization, documenting and advising clients on digitization of business processes into digital solutions. The intent is to leverage the resources in the pool and deploy them directly to clients in order to help them plan and better understand their business and how it fits into the technology space as well as to package a plan in order to deploy a digital solution to their organization.
