The goal, in part, is to contribute towards the establishment of a formal Systems Architecture practice within the Application Services Division (ASD) specifically and the Information Technology Management Directorate (IMTD) broadly. Secondary goals will be related to work performed on ancillary systems that must be aligned with objectives of the CNSC enterprise architecture vision. The Systems Architecture Practice has been initiated by CNSC (the client) in response to a need to establish a better long-term foundation by which to identify and deploy solutions into the existing CNSC technical environment. The practice will need to renew the existing architecture components, prepare existing applications for the SSC (Shared Services Canada) Data Center Consolidation initiative, and standard general practices and patterns related to all aspects of the Systems Architecture practice at CNSC.High-level business outcomes associated to the Systems Architecture practice include the following:Consolidate technologies and implementations to reduce the technological footprint for current and for future CNSC Technology ProjectsIntroduce the CNSC System Architecture and design standards for current and future applications and services consistent with the approved IM/IT practices at the CNSC supported by Shared Services Canada (SSC)Provide an Architecture Roadmap to detail the short, medium, and long term objectives and deliverables associated to establishing a sustainable Systems Architecture PracticeUpdate the existing CNSC applications and services where appropriate, aligning with the SSC support requirements and agreed upon CNSC development standards.The goal is to design and implement a Systems Architecture practice that will leverage a reusable CNSC approved technology platform in support of an organization-wide distributed computing initiative that can be practically implemented, scaled as required, and is relatively easy to maintain. Additional efforts will be expended towards the assessment and conversion of existing systems, identification of enterprise architectural opportunities, and rationalizing functionality to meet the general needs of the organization’s key business drivers.Technical Environment The current technological environment at CNSC is as follows:Microsoft Visual Studio 2008, 2012, 2013, 2015Visual Basic .NET (VB.NET), C#Microsoft .NET Frameworks 3.5.1, 4.0, 4.5.1/4.5.2Microsoft Enterprise Libraries 4.x, 5.xMicrosoft Web Client Software Factory (WCSF) – February 2008 releaseMicrosoft MVC 5 with RazorMicrosoft Entity Framework 1.0, 4.0+Windows Communication Foundation (WCF)Microsoft SharePoint 2007 (32-bit).NET SQL Authorization Manager (NetSQLAzMan)Telerik .NET Web Controls (2008/.NET 3.5.1)ceTe Software DynamicPDF Generator (.NET 3.5.1)Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2Internet Information Services (IIS) 7.5Microsoft Team Foundation Server 2008/2012Microsoft SQL Server 2008 StandardMicrosoft Windows 7 64-bitMicrosoft Windows Server 2008 R2Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2015.NET SQL Authorization Manager 3.6.x (NetSQLAzMan)Microsoft Office 2010ColdFusion 11.0PowerBuilder 12.6IBM Websphere MQIBM Cognos BITasks Working in conjunction with and accountable to the CNSC Systems Architect the Technology Architect will provide leadership and oversight to the project team in fulfilling the tasks and deliverables identified in the Statement of Work.The Technology Architect will be required to provide status updates, progress reports, resolution of issues and the completion of the team’s deliverables to the Systems Architect.Align activities and deliverables with project/organization requirements, goals, and objectives.Review and analyze business architecture and detailed requirements.Develop technology architectures that will be founded on currently available in-house technologies/solutions and satisfy the business and technical drivers behind the solutions identified.Identify and develop solutions identifying appropriate opportunities to leverage a SOA (Service Oriented Architecture) based implementation to the benefit of the organization both business-wise and technically.Research and recommend COTS (Consumer Off The Shelf) solutions, as appropriate, for immediate or future implementation in support of the CNSC Systems Architecture PracticeParticipate in analyzing CNSC requirements, documentation, implementation plan, and scheduleLead application design workshops and working sessions to discuss the business requirements and system designParticipate in the definition of enterprise architectural and development standards.Perform fit gap analysis of existing systems and prepare appropriate migration strategies to convert the existing codebase to the approved (and upgraded) enterprise architectureAnalyze and evaluate alternative technology solutions to meet business problems.Ensures the integration of all aspects of technology solutions consistent with CNSC’s corporate vision.Monitor industry trends to ensure that solutions fit with government and industry direction for technology.Establish and document best practices for the long-term implementation and sustainmentCreate the long-term implementation strategy and roadmapCreate long-term sustainment planProvide hands-on, expert technical assistance to developersTransfer knowledge to CNSC staff throughout the processWork evenings and weekends as required.Incumbent:The work has not been performed by a contracted resource in the last 12 months.Security Requirement: Common PS SRCL #19 appliesMinimum Corporate Security Required: Facility Security Clearance (FSC)Minimum Resource Security Required: Secret ClearanceContract AuthorityName: Dan SimardPhone Number: 613-996-6784Email Address: d••••••••@••••••.caInquiriesInquiries regarding this RFP requirement must be submitted to the Contracting Authority named above.
