Minister Ambrose Hosts Consultations With Alberta's Tech Industry
CALGARY, ALBERTA, Jan 21, 2013 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
The Honourable Rona Ambrose, Minister of Public Works and
Government Services and Minister for Status of Women, and Minister
responsible for Shared Services Canada (SSC), today addressed members
of the Alberta Information and Communications Technology (ICT) sector
on the transformation of the Government of Canada's IT
infrastructure.
"Our Government is focused on the economy and input from industry is
essential so that we can buy smarter and get better value for
Canadian taxpayers," said Minister Ambrose. "We're committed to
streamlining the delivery of information and services to Canadians
while saving money, and ending waste and duplication."
Shared Services Canada was created in August 2011 to transform the
Government's IT infrastructure in three key areas: email, data
centres and telecommunications. The government recognizes the
important role that the ICT sector will play in this transformation
and the benefits of building an ongoing and substantive relationship
with industry.
Minister Ambrose and Shared Services Canada are seeking the views of
the ICT sector on key elements of its transformation agenda. These
include developing standards for security, data and technologies;
defining how the Government will source data centres and
telecommunications; and identifying best practices for procurement as
well as ways to accelerate innovation and commercialization in the
Canadian ICT sector.
Today's meeting is an opportunity to seek the views of the ICT sector
in Alberta.
