Federal and provincial government

Canadian infrastructure you can explain to anyone who asks.

For federal and provincial teams: your program's data stored and processed in Canadian data centres, a written account of where it goes, and a certified Indigenous supplier that can help you meet procurement targets.

What public sector teams are asked to answer

"Where does the data go?"

A written account of where data is stored, processed and administered, and which partners are involved, so you can answer it in a briefing note.

"Who is accountable?"

One provider responsible for operating the service, with named contacts for delivery, support and escalation.

"Will services stay up during the move?"

A migration plan in stages that keeps public services running, with recovery objectives agreed before cutover.

"How do we buy it?"

A route that fits your process, and a certified Indigenous supplier that can count toward your department's Indigenous procurement target.
