About The Knowledge Exchange Service
|
The Organization
We are an integral part of the Knowledge Centre Directorate (KCD) in Government Telecommunications & Informatics Services (GTIS), PWGSC. KCD offers end-to-end information and communications technologies (ICT) knowledge sharing programs and services designed to assist public-sector organizations, in Canada and abroad, in the implementation of e-government initiatives. These programs and services include:
Technology solutions and ICT knowledge brokerage services (KES);
Learning and professional development for ICT professionals (The Knowledge Institute);
A network for ICT innovations and cutting-edge technologies (Innovatec Demo Centre);
National and international partnerships for the sharing of ICT expertise and best practices.
Our Mandate
To gather, exchange and give access to ICT knowledge and solutions and establish a trusted services-broker relationship with national public sector clients and partners. We want to bring you, our clients, into a connected, virtual community to create, share and build on existing solutions, expertise and knowledge.
Our Products and Services
We seek out, promote and broker non-proprietary, Crown-owned intellectual property (customized products), including applications software source code and documentation, utilities, templates, guidelines, methodologies, studies and other documents, computer-based training and e-learning products; and provide access to transferable commercial software licences, open source solutions, www.bellanet.org/downloads and research and advisory services. A Government On-line (GOL) assistance centre section will soon be added for direct access to GOL standards, studies, tools, templates, lessons learned, plug-in code and relevant links.
We are constantly seeking common-use ICT systems, learning tools and knowledgeware that can be freely shared within the public sector to add to our expanding inventory, or links to other web sites where such solutions and knowledge can be found.
There are more than 100 public sector organizations voluntarily participating in the Knowledge Exchange, as donors, recipients, or both. We encourage you to contact us about any government-owned information, best practices, software systems and documentation that may have the potential for common use. Our inventory is evolving and growing, but we are always looking for more.
Our Marketing Team will arrange product demonstrations, participate in tradeshows and other exhibit opportunities and give presentations, as well as provide advice to groups who wish to share working tools among themselves or seek cooperative development partners.

What's Involved In Donating Software
In order that donors experience a minimum of disruption to their normal operations, while allowing KES to provide maximum service to clients, KES suggests the following:
- That the donor provide to KES a complete, working copy of the material, including software programs, source code and relevant documentation.
- That contact(s) be designated by the donor to whom KES may address questions regarding the management (use) and technical operation of the donated material, on an as-and-when- required basis.
- That the donor approve the descriptive text of the material as required for the KES catalogue and the KES database information form. Where possible, KES will may use or edit a text prepared by the donor.
- That the donor notify KES whenever significant changes are made or planned to donated material, so that copies may be provided to KES for distribution to interested parties. In addition, information regarding the discontinuation of the material or changes of contact persons would be appreciated.
Where appropriate and feasible, KES can expect the donor to provide demonstrations of software on an occasional basis to prospective users.

| Overview: |
The Treasury Board Secretariat developed this guide for federal operational managers to explain the basic framework of the Operating Budget regime. The guide contains a generic model departments and agencies may wish to adapt when implementing operating budgets for their programs. The introductory overview links PS2000 to the Operating Budget regime and explains why it was introduced. The budget framework section provides generic information to use in implementation planning. The section on management context outlines the philosophical and cultural environment that managers must foster to derive the most benefit from operating budgets, while a section on the people side emphasizes the importance of reflecting on people issues in planning options or making decisions. Appendices with questions and answers, checklists, definitions and information on costing, procedures and systems complete the document along with a feedback section. This guide was originally distributed by TBS to federal managers in 1992 but is still valid today and considered to be a valuable management tool. |
| | |
| Business Functions: |
This guide is intended to help managers understand Operating Budgets and use them effectively. Departments and their managers will get the maximum benefits from Operating
Budgets if the management cultural change set out in the PS2000 White Paper takes place. Empowering managers and their employees and encouraging them to use their creative energies to get the job done in the most cost-effective way is essential. This document is organized to place the budget regime in the larger context of change while making managers more sensitive to people issues and increased accountability.

AMMIS |
| Version: |
v. 3.0 |
| Overview: |
Endorsed as a Shared System for use in federal departments by the CIO of the Treasury Board Secretariat (TBS), the Automated Materiel Management Information System (known as AMMIS or WinAMMIS) is a Crown owned, fully integrated software tool for the complete materiel management lifecycle. This Windows-based system is designed to automate centralized or decentralized processes. It allows departmental Responsibility Centre staff to electronically initiate procurement orders, commit funds, make payments, receive goods and services, and control assets and inventory. Only an authorware demonstration copy, including overview information about the product and the Cluster Group, is available directly from the Exchange for your initial evaluation (see below for other options). |
| | |
| Business Functions: |
AMMIS includes optional interfaces to Federal Government central agency systems, such as the Common Departmental Finance System (CDFS) and the Automated Buyer Environment (ABE). The user interface relies heavily upon point and click features, embedded table lookups and the use of data default, while flexible design gives departments the option of implementing selected modules as needed. Data driven decision tables also offer users greater flexibility. Comprehensive user and group security privileges within the financial delegation authority level can be controlled at user, screen and field levels. Since its beginning, the fine tuning of this product has been incremental and is backed by a committed, proactive Cluster Group, respecting the client requirements while supporting the Shared System concept of eliminating user specific customizations so as not to compromise the value for money benefit. It supports the best business practices for procurement and contracting at minimal cost and with maximum benefit to user departments. Significant savings are realized through shared development and support costs. Other benefits include the elimination of duplication of effort and the need for legacy systems within the departments, a reduction in the use and consequently the cost of forms, and support for strategic procurement sourcing decisions. There are at least seventeen client departments and several non-federal organizations now using AMMIS. The system offers a full range of transaction processing and reporting capabilities. It provides tools that can be used in all six of the materiel management business functions defined within a life-cycle model, including: procurement of goods, professional and other services contracting; budget tracking, maintenance of ledgers and depreciation of assets; inventory and assets management; stock item control; shipping and receiving; and reporting. The system offers maintenance support functionality and a report generation feature, and allows users to initiate orders, approve expenditures and commit funds electronically. It provides an electronic method of managing orders, receiving goods, paying invoices, replacing and disposing of assets, contracting for services, and maintaining consumable inventories. |

This bilingual utility is designed to help simplify the generation of employee award certificates. It consists of a database for storing information such as employee names, years of services, termination dates, and language preferences; and includes table templates, queries, data entry forms, and reports that can be generated in English or French.

In-house production of these certificated eliminated the need for professional services such as a calligrapher or printer, thereby reducing time and costs, especially since spelling and placement can be quickly checked on a PC before anything is actually reproduced. This product comes without documentation but is easy to use as is and basically self-explanatory, and is years 2000 compliant. |

GTS |
| Version: |
v. 1.0 |
| Overview: |
Donated by Treasury Board Secretariat and Public Works and Government Services Canada. GTS records and reports on position classification grievances from all federal departments and agencies. It was designed for TBS by PWGSC's Internet Application Development Group as a secure, self-explanatory tool for persons already knowledgeable with the grievance tracking process (ie. Classification Officers and Treasury Board Officers). Most of the application administration involves defining the user base (ie. user maintenance); this information is used by Classification Officers to track current, proposed and approved grievances filed within their organization. Various pre-defined, bilingual reports are available to allow both detail and summary data to be extracted from the system by users for their own department, and by TBS for any department. Unions are e-mailed via a built-in union notification system. A Demo Presentation prepared in Freelance Graphics, On-line help and full User Guide documentation are included. |
| | |
| Business Functions: |
The initial data capture of the Classification Grievance screen is kept to a minimum: the system determines the Classification Officer's department upon log-in, and generates a unique case number within the database. The user then inputs employee names to the grievance file. At any time, names can be added and/or removed from a grievance using the employee screen and employee information can be changed. Other related information can then be added, e.g. involved TBS Officers, committee members, unions, positions, grievance performance and results indicators, various dates, hearings, number of active, withdrawn and rejected employees, comments, classification elements and ratings, and work descriptions. Security measures are built-in (password, encryption, etc.). GTS provides a central repository of grievance data within a large organization. It allows for easy distribution to end-users departments to easily enter and track their own grievances and allows. Although the application code "as is" would be of little benefit to most federal organizations other than TBS, it can be modified (customized) to incorporate functionality that is specific to HR groups within other organizations, or analyzed as a model for the development of other types of web-enabled tracking systems. Being Web-based, GTS requires minimal administration. |

FIREWALL - Study |
| Version: |
v. 1.0 |
| Overview: |
Agriculture and Agri-food Canada's initial forays onto the Internet were via a restrictive 'firewall' that was established to prevent unauthorized access to their facilities. As the Internet evolved, departmental users wanted to have the access and tools moved down to the individual desktop, enabling them to easily retrieve needed data and have access to the most up-to-date technologies, while still protecting the security of departmental information assets. This document outlines the tools, support infrastructure and costs associated with various alternatives explored by this department, and could be a valuable guide to other organizations going through a similar exercise. It was produced in WordPerfect 5.1 and is available in print or electronic format (specify when ordering). |

| Overview: |
The Support Centre is a French, web-enabled self-teaching application, developed according to the knowledge management concept to aid multidisciplinary teams responsible for developing dynamic electronic forms. It includes a documented and illustrated presentation of the forms development process; standards for graphic and electronic creation of forms; and reusable objects such as standardized French and English messages, programs in JavaScript and graphic elements. The Support Centre also includes a demonstration on developing parts of forms in Portable Document Format (PDF) and sample forms. |
| | |
| Business Functions: |
The Support Centre combines a variety of standardized elements for creating dynamic electronic forms. PDF technology is being used more and more to create electronic forms that can be completed on screen, for posting on the Web. A number of Canadian government services have used it for quick service delivery to the public. The Support Centre gives users the opportunity to benefit from over three years of research and experimentation in the field. New users can then avoid the stumbling blocks usually encountered by beginners, resulting in reduced costs and increased productivity. All the phases of work are properly documented. The programs in JavaScript make it possible to use certain functions that are not available in Acrobat. |

| Overview: |
The Discussion Database (DD) is a bilingual corporate application within the Industry Canada Applications in Notes system (ICAN - see product A-790). This database is used for agendas and minutes. Users can enter a response to an agenda or action items, comments to the discussion topic, or a response to comments. Documents from members can be submitted into the database and can be viewed by date, author or topic; in this way, the agenda can be linked to documents submitted as part of the agenda. Users can add documents by either composing the text directly into the database, by copying text from an existing word processing file, or by attaching an existing document (useful for slide decks and graphics); however, attachments have to be launched into existing software on the individual reader's computer to be read or printed. The DD has full-text search capability and on-line help. Requires Lotus Notes 4.1 to evaluate and run the application. This product is Year 2000 compliant. |

DMCS |
| Version: |
v. 3.1 |
| Overview: |
This application was built using Microsoft (MS) desktop tools and "rides" on top of the departmental IT infrastructure. Using DMCS, an organization can: Create and/or save documents, files and repositories; profile, file, search and retrieve documents, emails and attachments; maintain an electronic filing system; import legacy records management system data and attachments; access resources from dial-up or from another network connection; manage document retention and disposition; create and customize reports; search and retrieve documents using the existing web interface; manage and maintain document retention and disposition schedules; change defaulted designations to support document disposition exceptions; identify essential records required to operate from emergency facilities and re-establish government operations; and customize for the users desktop. |
| | |
| Business Functions: |
The business functionality is based on a centralized concept of operations: A clerk receives the incoming mail (hardcopy and softcopy), profiles it, assigns it to a file, scans the document if it is paper based, sends a preformatted email to all action and info addressees, and publishes the profile (complete with a hyperlink to the document(s) and all captured emails) to the departmental Intranet. Document movement is tracked through the DMCS system link to the MS Outlook email system and automatically reported to the database. In turn, all email replies are captured by DMCS and published to the web. Users can search on key words, file numbers, subjects, etc. using any index server search engine such as AltaVista. DMCS creates a secure document repository so originals can be preserved with restricted access. Security is maintained through the normal process of record level security at the network level, ie. anyone can search and find profiled information but only those people you choose can actually view the document. Developed as a highly cost-effective and robust localized information management solution, DMCS utilizes existing desktop tools, architecture and standards of practice to create a virtual central registry for records, correspondence and other types of documents. As a result, limited handling of documents eliminates loss; and users only have to know how to manage their email and can find documents from any workstation, enabling them to concentrate on their core activities, while Central Registry Offices and Client Support Centres are re-empowered to manage and track documents for the organization. |

DND may be interested in partnering with other organizations to accelerate making this a web-enabled application. Scaleable and upgradeable, with excellent growth potential to meet future needs and/or for possible implementation as a corporate-wide records management solution; can be deployed easily and immediately with minimal investment by leveraging the existing infrastructure. Corporate search and retrieval is through the Intranet search engine and correspondence management is through the email system. Documents are hyperlinked to emails instead of attached, to minimize stress on the IT infrastructure. The product is based on MS Access versions 97 or 2000, which is more than adequate as a DBMS; MS Office 97 Professional or MS Office 2000 Professional or other*; MS Exchange Outlook messaging system or other*; IIS Web Server or other*; NT File Server or other*; and IIS Search Engine or other*. (*Other technology would have to be tested. The same system could be implemented at very low cost on other office suites or, as this system typically installs on a dedicated machine, one machine could deviate from the organizations standard office suite yet work by virtue of the MAPI interface or, as an example, internet email gateway or another gateway in use within the organization.) DMCS is fully documented and includes a PowerPoint overview presentation. |

EDIDOCS |
| Version: |
v. 1.0 |
| Overview: |
To reduce paperwork and streamline the processes involved in the acquisition and settlement of low dollar value purchases for goods and services, NRCan uses acquisition cards for purchases and has incorporated the electronic receipt and settlement of transactions into their departmental financial system. The process involves the electronic receipt of monthly EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) files from the credit card companies, immediate settlement through single payment requisitions and, using an automated log (commitment), the distribution of charges to appropriate budgets. PWGSC provides both the EDI services for the receipt of files from Mastercard and Visa, and EFT (Electronic Funds Transfer) services to deposit the funds to suppliers' bank accounts. As a result, quicker turnaround time enables NRCan to take advantage of a .50 cent rebate per transaction offered by Mastercard for payments within 7 days. In the first year of implementation (1995-96), over 25,000 credit card transactions were processed through EDI, resulting in a process cost savings of just over $1 million. NRCan's transaction volume and resultant savings are expected to double in 1996-97, and savings are projected to be in the range of $4 million per annum over the next few years for NRCan. Documents describing this initiative, including the policy, the post- implementation report and some training documents, are available in WordPerfect 5.2 and 6.1 format (with some appendices in Freelance Graphics) in both English and French, in hard copy or on diskette. Please specify language preference if ordering hard copy. |

v. 0.7 |
| Overview: |
The Job Aid is a bilingual computer program designed to assist CIDA project and program officers in complying with the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act (CEAA), however, most of the information contained therein is applicable to other departments and agencies affected by the Act. The Job Aid is not a tool to instruct on the technical aspects of environmental assessment, but rather serves as a 'roadmap' through the legal complexities of the CEAA. It is geared to providing the minimum an officer needs to know to apply the Act within the confines of Canadian federal law and good environmental practice. It comprises three sections: an overview of the CEAA process; the process to be followed for the Public Registry; and, a series of case studies to see how the Act is applied to a database of CIDA projects. The Job Aid is structured around five questions: 1) Is the Act triggered? 2) Is there a 'project' as defined by the Act? 3). If there is a project, is it excluded from assessment under the Act? 4) What type of assessment is required? and 5) Is a follow-up program required? A Windows Help file provides the officer with the actual legal aspects of the Act that are pertinent for compliance requirements e.g., the Exclusion List, Inclusion List, and Comprehensive Study List. There is also a Regulations Guide to assist in determining which regulations pertain to the proposal being evaluated under the CEAA. The Job Aid is based on Asymetrix Multimedia Toolbook 3.0.The program can be loaded onto 3 disks. Runtime requirements are a personal computer capable of running a Microsoft Windows application, at least an 80386 processor, 4MB RAM, and 6-8MB of hard disk space. The runtime includes the Toolbook runtime executable, several system files, the application file, an ASCII data file, and the Windows Help file. The Job Aid was created under CIDA's CEAA Training Project which was awarded a silver medal at the 1996 Federal Awards Program of the annual Government Technology Exhibition. Year 2000 concerns are not applicable to this product. |

| Overview: |
This is a package of Treasury Board's Federal Identity Program (FIP) graphic files, in a variety of formats. These trademark- protected symbols of the Government of Canada are in use for corporate identity applications under the Federal Identity Program (FIP). It includes the Coat of Arms, the flag symbol and the 'Canada' Wordmark - each of which is used in conjunction with an institution's applied title. The 'Canada' Wordmark, which is the global identifier of the Government of Canada, is used in association with the appropriate departmental signature. The graphic files are also provided for Government of Canada and Gouvernement du Canada signatures. Institutions are responsible for creating their own corporate signatures, in accordance with FIP policy and standards. |
| | |
| Business Functions: |
These symbols are components of the Federal Identity Program (FIP) and must be used in accordance with FIP policy, guidelines and design standards. The policy document and the official titles of federal organizations may be found at http://www.tbs-sct.gc.ca/Pubs_pol/sipubs/TB_fip/siglist_e.html. Questions regarding the use of these symbols and signatures should be directed to the FIP coordinator of the federal institution concerned; or to the Federal Identity Program in TBS at (613) 957-2544. For general information, send an email to information@fip-pcim.gc.ca. The consistent application of corporate symbols is essential to project the Government of Canada as a coherent, unified administration. This enables the public to clearly recognize federal activities by means of consistent identification and improves service to the public by facilitating access to federal programs and services. |

artwork for print, the current form of these files remains the most broadly
useful to departments. No distribution of colour versions of FIP identifiers
is planned by Treasury Board (TBS). Enquiries regarding the use of colour should be directed to a departmental Communications branch or division. |

GoL Implementation Kit |
| Version: |
v.1.0 |
| Overview: |
The Government On-line (GOL) Implementation Kit is a set of on-line tools and references intended to provide the local line manager with a step-by-step method for determining which programs currently being delivered through their organization are candidates for GOL exposure. It is also intended to help determine exactly what should be exposed, to assess the suitability of existing applications for such exposure, and to plan, justify and launch the resulting project. The GoL Implementation Kit components are organized using a generic GoL project flow that references each step in the project development process. |
| | |
| Business Functions: |
The GoL Implementation Kit has three components: A Planning Guide - to ensure each proposed project has a solid business justification and offers the opportunity to assemble project launch information in a manner that is consistent with the Treasury Board Enhanced Management Framework (EMF) and fosters consideration of business transformation issues consistent with current Treasury Board guidelines; A GoL Readiness Checklist - to prepare the local line manager for a formal readiness assessment by employing readiness criteria useful in determining whether a proposed GoL migration project has taken sufficient account of all relevant factors proceeding to implementation; and a GTIS GoL Catalogue of Services - provides a comprehensive catalogue of Government Telecommunications Informatics Services (GTIS) services that support the implementation process to place a Government of Canada program on-line under the auspices of the GoL program. These services are made available by GTIS to federal government departments and agencies, typically on a cost-recovery basis. The Planning Guide and the Readiness Checklist can both be used as a reference or a workbook to document and analyze the state of readiness of current and proposed GoL applications. They also identify situations where the services offered in the GTIS GoL Services Catalogue will be most appropriately applied. |

GOL |
| Version: |
v. 1.0 |
| Overview: |
A web-based compilation of presentations from Treasury Board and other departments, created to provide senior executives with a summary of each phase in the Government of Canada's undertaking to provide Canadians with enhanced, secure access to citizen-centric information and integrated services on the Internet. Better known as the GoL (Government On-Line) initiative, this massive and innovative government-wide transformation project involves the re-engineering, consolidation and integration of services using proven, best-of-breed technologies and private sector partnerships. PWGSCs E-Government Services Sector conducted extensive research into past presentations and information about the GoL initiative in order to compile this comprehensive but concise briefing package for their Assistant Deputy Minister. It includes 55 PowerPoint slides, reduced from hundreds, to capture the story of GoL: why it started, what it involves, where we are going, and how it will fundamentally change the way we do business. |
| | |
| Business Functions: |
The GoL Story has been presented in numerous national forums to outline the achievements to date in advancing the governments on-line initiative and highlights of future work plans. To focus activities within the business, technology, and people streams of work, the GoL Story explains the three steps or tiers of target goals and summarizes the key initiatives undertaken by PWGSC and other major federal departments as of 2001. (It is important to recognize that current plans are evolving and this is a static view that has not been updated since its creation.) In addition to providing an excellent executive briefing, this would be useful as a good orientation or learning tool for new employees or anyone working in or for the federal government, particularly those involved in GoL implementation. The content could be easily customized and updated by organizations for GoL-related presentations, or the product can serve as a helpful guideline for creating a similar web-enabled knowledge tool. |

IMP |
| Version: |
v. 1.0 |
| Overview: |
This document was developed for line/operational managers to help improve the management of information holdings and information technology (IT). It defines the approaches necessary for the future development, utilization and retirement of information-based resources, and is predicated on management's responsibility for, and active involvement in, the planning initiative. Transport's Information Management Planning (IMP) process provides comprehensive perspectives on information requirements, issues and solutions, focuses on achieving business objectives, and provides for the participation of all stakeholders. The end product of the process is a Long Range IMP which records all decisions taken on the future management of information-based resources, and the rationale behind them. This document will give readers a better understanding of the rationale, the key steps in the planning process and the benefits associated with IMP. |
| | |
| Business Functions: |
This methodology provides an objective framework for the analysis of complex issues regarding an organization’s information holdings and IT. It includes proven techniques for collecting and presenting the information necessary for decision-making (i.e. strategies, priorities, objectives, investments), and is based on a business-case approach, where initiatives are justified by achievement of goals. The process is product-oriented, so activities culminate in concrete, practical planning products which offer a valuable perspective of the the organization’s business, and the credibility of the process used to make decisions contributes to a successful implementation. Although this methodology was developed in 1993, Transport Canada has verified that it is still in use today and can be a useful learning tool or benchmark for others. It includes practical definitions of IM/IT terms and the information life cycle, as well as project planning guidelines. |

IW2000 |
| Version: |
v. 1.13 |
| Overview: |
The IW2000 Management Framework was implemented in DND as their Year 2000 (Y2K) Operational Readiness Program to ensure that business and mission critical systems remained fully operational up to, during and after the Y2K threshold. The Framework uses a toolkit to produce reports and an information warehouse or repository called IW2000 (an ORACLE database with a PowerBuilder front-end). Included is a complete example from DND's Search and Rescue (SAR) Operations preparations for Y2K. The Impact Analysis Report provides detailed SAR examples of system level architectural diagrams, logical models and time domain simulations. The Options Analysis Report describes the best option for maintaining SAR operational readiness throughout the Y2K Transition period. The Impact Analysis Report is one of a series of report cards on the progress towards achieving the target option. Also available is a PowerPoint presentation about the product and its potential for reuse, and a complete set of reference materials for the Information Repository, including a Getting Started Guide, Backup and Recovery Procedures, User Guide, Training Guide, Data Model and Data Dictionary. |
| | |
| Business Functions: |
The methodology developed to ensure that DND's operational readiness would not be severely affected by the Y2K "bug" became the Management Framework that served to successfully track progress towards their goal using a "top-down" approach, resulting in a smooth transition to the Year 2000. Although the Y2K problem has passed, and the IW2000 repository application that was developed, maintained and enhanced within their Y2K Program Management Office is no longer supported in DND due to the closing of that office, this invaluable Framework and the tools developed for it may be applicable to other issues facing government departments and large organizations, particularly in addressing business risk management at the enterprise level. The IW2000 stores metadata and detailed information about systems and the relationships between them, including interfaces, dependencies and descendants; and links missions or functions to systems. It is a powerful, robust, multi-user tool that can be adapted to support the on-going management of IM/IT assets at strategic, tactical and operational process levels, e.g. to analyse an organization's current applications portfolio and infrastructure resource use; to manage system planning (service level, recovery, security, development, project, resource, audit, etc.); and to record, monitor and control various processes. Features multi-level security; SQL search capability; and shows dependencies between and milestones for missions, objects and inventory items. Readily customizable, it has potential for use in licensing tracking, systems consolidation, contingency planning, project management, as an aid to a help desk, or as a learning tool. |

v. 1.0 |
| Overview: |
In June 1994, Heritage Canada initiated a project to evaluate the innovative use of technology in a government environment. The objective of this project was to develop a 'proof of concept' information (data) warehouse that would allow for an assessment of the possibilities, risks and best practices involved therein. It covered developing the warehouse model and architecture, mapping source data to the model, transforming and migrating data to the warehouse, providing user access, and maintaining, refreshing and enhancing the warehouse. This report provides an overview of the department's experience to date with information (data) warehousing, the current status (as of Feb. 1996) of the project, the lessons learned, the benefits realized including outputs from the project that could be shared with other federal departments and, finally, the recommendations arising from the project and its assessment. The document is in English only and was prepared in WordPerfect 5.1/5.2 format. |

ITS |
| Version: |
v. 1.0 |
| Overview: |
ITS is a bilingual, nationally-implemented training management system designed to efficiently track, deliver and manage employee training activities. Developed in PowerBuilder with a centralized Oracle database, it is comprised of two distinct but integrated application components: ITS Operations (ITSO) and ITS Reports (ITSR). Both offer an intuitive and easy to use interface to access and find information. ITSO provides the tools to create and update employees' learning plans (an overview of past, present and future training requirements at a glance); training applications (provides an accurate status of all training requests and offers additional options to keep track of associated costs); and course sessions to manage class listings. It boasts an impressive search engine to query the database for available courses and related information such as description, sources, prerequisites, competencies and existing sessions. ITSR generates both standard reports, according to various predetermined criteria, and ad hoc reports, which can be tailored to meet specific needs using a business intelligence (BI) tool, Cognos Impromptu. This is a robust, secure system managed within HR Support; users are assigned roles which determine access and permissions and define the tasks a particular user can perform. Source code, user guide and executables are provided. |
| | |
| Business Functions: |
The ITS allows an organization to seamlessly integrate training activities into one program, simplifying record keeping and reporting. Employee tombstone data is imported daily from the departmental HR system; financial data is tracked and linked to financial codes. Course data from ITS is exported to web-enabled course browsers for employee access. Although each training activity is performed in its respective program section, each section comes with special functions which allows the exchange of information effortlessly and streamlines tasks. Because of an ownership implementation, information is automatically filtered to present relevant data at a regional level. ITS makes it easy for users (HR staff and training coordinators) to access complete training history by course, course session, or participant, including any associated costs (PWGSC has over 11,000 courses registered). The common look and feel of both component interfaces allows users to become proficient with the program almost immediately without the burden of a steep learning curve. The reporting component, ITSR, was separated from the operational component to increase production speed. It offers several categorized standard reports which have been developed according to users' specifications. The BI tool is accessible directly from ITSR and provides a great addition for users who wish to create their own reports. |

INACCD |
| Version: |
v. 1.0 |
| Overview: |
Designed as an interactive learning program, the CD-ROM offers new employees a dynamic form of self-instruction. The CD-ROM provides an overview of the department’s mission, goals, objectives and structure; the history and culture of First Nations peoples and Inuit; and ways that each new employee can contribute to the organization.
The CD-ROM is also a valuable reference tool featuring: a searchable, bilingual acronym guide, a glossary, a bibliography, and a time line tool which highlights significant historical events.
The CD is a stand-alone application that includes audio and video. It interfaces with both the Internet and INAC Intranet web sites. For ease of navigation and to support the learning process, five specific tools are included on the CD. The bookmark allows the placing and retrieving of bookmarks. The notepad allows note taking, copying and pasting of text from the CD and the ability to save the notepad text in a word processing format. The Learning Map indicates the sections of the entire learning program and allows the user to jump from section to section. The user is able to exit the program at any time and there is a user-controlled page feature to advance or go back to the previous page. |
| | |
| Business Functions: |
This learning tool was created to provide a timely and comprehensive overview of the department in order to orient new employees. The four key goals were to create a tool that was based upon a learner-centered approach, provided a consistent message to employees regardless of location, allowed flexibility for the addition of regional or occupational orientations, and included a mechanism to update non static information. The CD-ROM is intended as a first step in the orientation process that will enhance face-to-face orientation sessions and orientation web sites provided in each regional office. Initially, it was thought that an Intranet-based solution would be appropriate, however, given the amount and media-rich nature of information gathered, content maintenance, current technical limitations of the Intranet and a lack of internal technical support led to the decision to use CD-ROM technology. All non static information has been place on the INAC Intranet web site in order that it may updated on a regular basis. |

| Overview: |
The Lowest Pay Increment Calculator (LPI-L) is a very simple Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheet application designed to help federal Compensation Advisors determine the lowest increment between pay rate steps to establish employee rates of pay on promotion or transfer. No documentation provided (not required). MS Excel version also available. |
| | |
| Business Functions: |
Each time a new set of Rates of Pay is issued due to a revision or restructuring of pay rates, the Compensation Advisor enters all the pay rates for a specific group and level into this spreadsheet, which then automatically calculates the lowest increment for employee promotions and transfers. This easy-to-use work tool saves time and ensures accuracy in the determination of the smallest rate of increase for a set of different pay rates. Since some groups have as many as 7 or 8 increment levels, requiring 6 or 7 separate calculations, and each step can take as much as 4 minutes to calculate manually, this can be a fairly time consuming manual process. Using the LPI-L reduces it to only 1 minute. Multiply this by several different sets of rates and the overall time saving potential becomes obvious. Also, when calculating a promotion or transfer, it is vital that the correct lowest pay increment in the new position be applied. If an error occurs, the employee will be paid at the wrong rate which would then result in having to either collect overpayments or issue retroactive pay adjustments. This can cause a wide range of problems for the employee and is costly for the department to correct. Using this tool could help reduce the potential error rate because the calculation process is more automated. |

MEI's core system is the Correspondence and Issues Management System (CIMS) which was selected to meet the Canadian Government's need for a bilingual shared system for the management of executive information, including Ministerial and departmental correspondence, press releases, briefing notes and questions and answers. MEI supports the information and communication needs of ministers and departmental officials by aiding in the management of various types of executive information including minister's correspondence, thereby improving service levels - particularly turn-around times for responses to the public. It is a workflow and document management tool that includes such technology as imaging, optical character recognition, text retrieval and reporting. Key features include document management, workflow, full-text retrieval, OCR, and integration with other packages (word processing, email, spreadsheets, fax). The focus in the coming years will be to create integration modules with other systems in support of Government On Line. |
| | |
| Business Functions: |
Twelve federal departments have purchased licenses, services, training, support and maintenance under the MEI contract. The majority of original members used MEI for correspondence tracking but the growth of the initiative has centred on the use of MEI for case management and issues management. This growth has been facilitated by the launch of WebCIMS, the web-based version of the product. Electronic folders and workflow allow users to assign and route documents throughout an organization. With WebCIMS, all notes, response documents, e-mail messages and related history are incorporated into a single folder for easy and efficient retrieval. The vision for the MEI initiative is to position MEI as a fundamental component, a building block, of the government's IM strategy. Aimed at government knowledge workers, the MEI initiative provides an effective way to manage the large volumes of unstructured data that they receive and generate. As such, it plays a critical role in modernizing service delivery and contributing to the development of electronic government. |

PMM GUIDE |
| Version: |
v. 1.0 |
| Overview: |
Originally created in MS Word, this is an HTML web-based document that includes hyper links internal to the document, to TC policies and regulations on their departmental Intranet and to the federal Intranet. The Guide summarizes key central agency policies and procedures for contracting and materiel, including dispute resolution and employer/employee relationships, and the managers responsibilities in these areas. Through a series of checklists, the guide takes you through the entire procurement process, from planning the requirements to tendering, project management, paying invoices and closing out contracts. It also covers the life cycle management of acquired goods, including custody, tracking, write-off and disposal. It is meant to help managers and staff to understand and meet mandatory federal requirements. |
| | |
| Business Functions: |
In addition to providing hyper links to relevant government sites (i.e. TBS, PWGSC) for quick access to complete federal policies and regulations, this bilingual, process-driven guide is easy to use, requires no user training, and summarizes all key policies in one document. It is targeted for the use of all departmental managers and their staff (cross functional). Other organizations may be interested in re-customizing the content and style sheets to meet their own internal procurement and materiel management requirements, or in using this as a model or template for other types of on-line reference documents. |

| Overview: |
The Materiel Acquisition and Support (MA&S;) Desktop is one of the major components of the Acquisition Reform Initiative in the Materiel Group of DND. Provided is a demo copy of their web-based electronic reference tool designed as an information repository for MA&S; policy, process and practice. The initial DND Intranet release focused on the major acquisition processes where the identified reforms have the greatest impact; it now addresses software engineering, test & evaluation, and integrated logistics support (ILS) and will continue to be expanded to include greater levels of detail, as well as details of processes related to the in-service phase of the equipment life-cycle. The Desktop contains: process details to allow users to interpret and implement the reform concepts contained in DND’s MA&S; Policy and Acquisition Reform Guide; electronic links to source documents (e.g. Contract Clause library at PWGSC, TB Contracting Policy); work aids, such as decision tools, techniques and templates; best practices and lessons learned; and contact numbers (at National Defence Headquarters) for the various subject matter experts. |
| | |
| Business Functions: |
The Desktop is a knowledge management repository which uses information mapping and process breakdown trees to describe the processes, the outputs of the work and provides tools, techniques and templates to support MA&S; practitioners. Desktop Goals: to become the single point of access for policy, guidance and support of MA&S; processes; to provide access (or links) to source documents; to promote cultural change through enhanced knowledge sharing and insight across the acquisition community; and to be the driving force for re-examination of current regulations and other guidance documents.
The processes and the guidance in the Desktop are written in generic terms. They are neither equipment nor environment specific, neither do they distinguish between small and large acquisition projects. This enables users to "tailor" the processes and guidance to meet their needs. Process descriptions provide decision aids to assist users when tailoring to their project's specific context. Components include a Reference Library (planning guides, workflow diagrams, glossary, project and risk management methodologies, etc.), various search tools, training, FAQs and on-line help. Project managers, materiel managers, procurement staff and technical staff are able to draw on a single reference for an integrated process view of materiel acquisition and support. Standardized document templates and guidance documents enable the efficient creation of project documents such as Statements of Requirement, Project Charters, Project Management Plans, Synopsis Sheets and Project Profile Risk Assessments for Treasury Board Submissions, Statements of Work, procurement instruments, etc. Organizational performance is improved by maintaining a single source of up-to-date reference material on policy, process and practice. Ideas, lessons learned and best practices are communicated and shared. This prototype product would be a very useful learning tool or guide for other organizations interested in creating comprehensive web-based repositories. |

MS-PRR |
| Version: |
v. 1.0 |
| Overview: |
Using mostly built-in Microsoft Project commands, with a few customized macros and tools, a system was developed for one of the department's Training and Development groups to allow the roll up of hundreds of MS Project plans from across a network. The roll up can be used to produce summarized management reports on project progress, financial performance and time spent, as well as flagging any issues that need management intervention. Heirarchical roll ups for groups enable managers to quickly view status, staff workload, red flags, etc. in order to assess total resource usage across a group and to simplify the planning of future resource needs. If several projects impact one another, the project interdependencies can automatically be input and an overall critical path can be established. The system can also do automatic time sheet reporting and project updating using the mail system. Implemented by a consultant, information is available on how to build such a system and to get help. A User Guide with sample reports and templates, prepared using Lotus AmiPro for Windows (in English only), is available for evaluation purposes; application code can later be provided by the donor on request to SES. |

v. 5.0 |
| Overview: |
The Personal Leave Tracker for Variable Part-Time Employees (PLT/PE-MSE) is an MS Excel
spreadsheet application designed to help individual employees or managers keep track of
personal leave. It can be used by both full-time and part-time employees (37.5 and 40
hours/week), as well as those on a compressed work schedule. This version has also been
modified to allow variable part-time to calculate their normal work week for each month. This
information is required so that the variable part-time employees can determine their monthly
vacation and sick leave credits. Sick leave credits are automatically credited on the 16th of
each month, and totals are automatically adjusted when revised data is entered. A Leave
Balance Summary field shows the remaining balances of the various leave types. (NOTE: See
also products 123 and 124.) |
| | |
| Business Functions: |
This is an easytouse spreadsheet divided into four sections to enable users to track vacation leave, certified and uncertified sick leave, compensatory leave earned and used, and familyrelated leave usage. Employees can keep a running tab on their leave credits and yearend balances to compare with departmental HR records, which can be helpful in the event of disputes. Where a parttime employee does not work the same number of hours each week, the normal work week shall be the weekly average of the hours worked at the straighttime rate calculated on a monthly basis. This worksheet will calculate the normal work week for the particular month based on the number of hours worked at the straight time rate of pay entered by the employee. A leave balances report can be printed at any time by the user. Password protected. Tombstone information and yearend leave balances can be obtained from the "Employee Statement of Leave Credits" which is issued yearly by the departmental pay unit. |

The Point of Sale Module is a stand-alone component of a larger Public Contact System, which was derived from Industry Canada's Distribution System (see also products D-735, D-736, D-737, D-738 and D-740 for the complete Distribution System and other stand-alone modules). The application works in tandem with the Request Order Fulfillment, Inventory and Mailing List modules that were customized for the NCC as part of their Public Contact System. Products for sale can be priced for retail and wholesale, with discounts for larger orders. All major credit cards can be used by the system, and a receipt or invoice can be generated per sale. Marketing results are also kept on each order and there are numerous reports generated for market analysis based on monthly and yearly data. It has a Canada Postal code lookup feature, and on-line help. This is a relatively easy to use, GUI (graphical user interface), multi-user, client/server application that is LAN ready with SQL potential to front-end large database engines such as Oracle and Sybase. A User Manual is on-line; printed copy available from SES for evaluation. Demonstrations can then be arranged in Ottawa on request, following which a copy of the software can be released to interested clients. |

RRRS |
| Version: |
v. 7.0 |
| Overview: |
A LOTUS Approach database application created to efficiently manage the renewal of standing offer and contractual documents. Triggered by the recorded expiration date of a document, the system generates a letter for advising the client of the most opportune time to send their requisition to begin the procurement process for renewal, if required, along with a reply form. RRRS is used by administrative staff in support of contractual services to ensure the uninterrupted supply of goods and services to clients. Includes some technical documentation and dummy data; a detailed user guide is unavailable but is not considered necessary. |
| | |
| Business Functions: |
Tracks status details such as follow-up phone calls made, reminder and confirmation faxes and letters sent, contact data, etc. New reports can be created; the design mode is password protected. Easy to use, requiring minimal or no documentation or training. Significantly improves productivity, reduces processing errors, increases accuracy, eliminates untimely delays and streamlines the renewal process. Although not compatible with a Microsoft platform, evaluating RRRS may be useful as a learning tool to help speed up the development of a comparable solution in some other database language such as MS Access. Replaces a manual reminder service with an automated process. Tombstone information is imported from a Corporate database system, eliminating re-keying and manual input. Users can edit and review various types of contractual and client data. Searching for information and generating standard reports on suppliers, clients, contracts or standing offers has never been easier. |

| Overview: |
The Risk and Issue Tracking Database is an effective management tool that provides support to program/project level risk management. With this tool, users will better organize risk and issue information, capture risk and issue related data, and generate informative reports. The database includes three forms for data input: a project form, a risk form and an issue form. Each risk and issue is associated to one project which is easily linked via a Graphical User Interface. Unique identifiers are assigned to each project, risk and issue which are set up through customizable drop-down lists. |
| | |
| Business Functions: |
This tool allows for probabilities, impacts, statuses, action plans, management/resolution strategies and much more to be assigned to each record, which allows for risks and issues to be managed more effectively. It also possesses built-in search and filter capabilities, and is quite easy to navigate through. The database has been implemented successfully on the Y2K initiative as well as in various GoL projects within the Government of Canada. Documentation is not provided but anyone familiar with MS Access will find it easy to use. It includes approximately 20 standard reports that can be exported into MS Word or MS Excel. There is also unlimited ad hoc report creation capability, plus the ability to colour-code risk and issue status indicators and display them graphically in a report. In its existing form there are currently no security features assigned to it, but the database can be password protected. It must be noted that although MS Access 97 has the capacity to assign security permissions on a user by user basis for the database components, individual records cannot be secured. For more information regarding how to define user permissions, refer to the MS Access 97 user manual or help files. |

| Overview: |
This document was prepared on behalf of the federal Council for Administrative Renewal as a guide to be used by various government departments and agencies to assist in the development of a Salary Management System (SMS) which will satisfy their salary costing, forecasting and budgeting needs. It describes the information processing requirements of a full service SMS from a conceptual, not a technical design, perspective. It identifies 'what' criteria should be met by the system, not 'how' these requirements should be implemented. Many of the requirements identified may indeed be met by other systems with which the SMS will need to be integrated. This document will be useful to a broad range of parties with an interest in salary management: responsibility centre (RC)/line managers, financial officers, functional specialists (F Personnel), senior management, and central agencies.

The system is easy to use and ensures significant cost savings and consistency of information. Since NRCan employees belong to about 80 percent of the classifications and levels currently applicable within the Public Service, a copy of their database* (created after an extensive review of past, paper-based SOQs) will be usable by most federal government departments. The content can be updated, revised or customized by using the administrative component of the application. On completion of the selection of requirements, a bilingual Statement of Qualifications page is produced in standard Public Service Commission format. The user can choose to save the page in Rich Text Format (RTF, which is compatible with most word-processing packages) and can later edit the document to include position number, job title, etc. and make any final adjustments. |

TPMS |
| Version: |
v. 3.0 |
| Overview: |
TPMS is a system to manage grants and contributions. It was designed to allow over 150 Portfolio Managers to control transfer payments to several hundred Indian bands and organizations. There are 4 primary modules: an agreements database; a cash management calculation module; a cheque release module; and a reporting module. The system also has a tracking component for Terms and Conditions. TPMS resides on a minicomputer with access from either PCs or dumb terminals.

VCA |
| Version: |
v. 1.0 |
| Overview: |
The Virtual Charity Auction web application was developed during the 2001 Government of Canada Workplace Charitable Campaign as an employee-driven initiative to raise additional funds for a worthy cause while having fun doing it (all of the proceeds collected from the highest bidders were donated to the Campaign). Photos and descriptions of donated goods and services were posted on-line within the departmental Intranet site for an electronic silent auction. Employees could easily log in to the site to view the growing list of items available and highest bid-to-date for each, then submit their own bids on one or more items as and when desired at any time throughout a specified period. At a designated date and time the auction was closed and final results were tallied. Although very little time for development was allowed for this initiative and it required some voluntary manual work to maintain, the Virtual Charity Auction (VCA) surpassed expectations and was very popular with the users. The VCA consists of a standard federal Common Look and Feel splash page, a "What's New" page outlining the rules of the game, and pages for the main auction section content, item bid submission forms and bid confirmations. This basic, multi-user application was developed in both official languages using static HTML and one Perl script. |
| | |
| Business Functions: |
The application runs on a server for the duration of the auction. From their workstations, bidders access the site's main page, click on a thumbnail image, bid button or item title link to get to an item's bid page to view details, and fill out a simple e-form to submit a bid if interested (using their real names or an alias if anonymity is preferred). The form is automatically transmitted to the auction administrator through a Perl script as an e-mail. At the end of each day, the auction administrator reviews and organizes all bids received, then manually updates the HTML in the main auction page and item bid pages to reflect the highest bid to date for each item, along with the bidder's name or alias. The software automatically time stamps each submission so only the earliest bid is accepted in the event identical bids are received. This then becomes the opening bid for the next day, and so on for the duration of the auction. Final winning bids and total funds raised are announced on the site but payments are collected manually. |

Multi-user; must be installed on a network. |
| Other Technical Details: |
Web-based application developed in HTML with one PERL script page on a Windows 2000 NT platform for use with a Netscape 4.61 browser. Easy to install, except all web paths need to be updated depending on file structure. It is a static web site that uses Apache coding for the header, footer and side navigation templates. Requires work to maintain during use, as it does not dynamically update bid information, but source code is provided so new users can modify as required (original developers ran out of time to develop this feature).

| Comments: |
A second version of this product will be made available soon and will include an interactive web based application with user registration and instanteneous bid updates. |

FINDX400-MSM |
| Version: |
v. 3.4 |
| Overview: |
This utility was designed specifically for MS-Mail LAN Administrators, to simplify the search for X.400 addresses of people outside your own department. It also facilitates composing X.400 messages and adding X.400 addresses to a Personal Address Book on a user's desktop. The address information files are obtained from the Government X.400 Directory, maintained by the federal Government Telecommunications and Informatics Services (GTIS). This utility is faster to use and quicker to update than the proprietary MS-Mail Import mechanisms available, and will be especially appealing to organizations with many postoffices or Global Address Lists. It also uses less space, since the information is stored in a separate database (18Mb of space), developed in MS Access, instead of residing directly on each postoffice (which would require over 100Mb of space each). This is an easy-to-install, fully bilingual product and contains hotspot- enabled Help files. Requires MS-Mail for Windows running on Windows 3.x, Win95 or Windows NT. Both executable and source code available; demos arranged on request. |
