Purpose / Mission![,](/web/20061130210058im_/http://www.tbs-sct.gc.ca/cioscripts/images/line450x1.gif)
The purpose of the GOC FAP is to provide leadership, co-ordination, and
broad direction in the planning, development, maintenance and use of a government-wide
architecture for IM/IT infrastructure; comprised of the subset of the departmental
infrastructure domains that are common or shared across government; in support of the
government's renewal objectives and its service delivery agenda.
The enterprise-wide architecture to be implemented by the GOC FAP is a
coherent collection of policies, standards, guidelines, and principles that will guide and
direct the acquisition, implementation and management of IT resources comprising an
adaptive government-wide IM/IT infrastructure. As such, the architecture becomes a
critical component of the strategic planning process and will be integrated within the
government's overall IT and business planning processes.
The conceptual architecture will serve as a foundation on which the GOC
SII can build an adaptive government-wide IM/IT infrastructure. It provides high level
guidance, linking the business drivers and architectural requirements with the underlying
technological components to meet the vision of the GOC Federated Architecture. Using a
business-driven, top-down architecture process, GOC FAP architecture will provide the base
foundation and framework to plan, design, co-ordinate, implement, and manage the
Government's strategic IM/IT infrastructure.
