Système d’information pour la gestion des ressources culturelles – Agence Parcs Canada

Parks Canada’s cultural resource information is currently housed in many varied and disparate systems. The majority of the existing systems used to manage cultural resource information are located in and administered by Parks Canada offices across the country. There are 9 major systems currently in use that have redundant and often duplicate information and functionality. There are also reference and document repositories as well as systems to manage photo collections and Geographic Information Systems (GIS).
Parks Canada is combining its various and disparate cultural resource information systems into one standardized national system to be accessed by employees across the country. Furthermore, this is an opportunity to create an efficient and effective tool for reporting and decision making.
Parks Canada is looking for a Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) product which is SPECTRUM compliant and specializes in cultural resource management. A major consideration for the success of the Cultural Resource Management Information System (CRMIS) is that it effectively supports program or functional areas in managing cultural resources. In so doing, CRMIS will constitute a single, authoritative information source for cultural resource management.
