Status Report on Major Crown Project ($ Millions)

GLOBAL CASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Description

The Global Case Management System (GCMS) is a multi-year program that will replace several business systems of Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) and the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA). It is an integrated, case-management-based set of applications and infrastructure components that will support the client operations of CIC and the CBSA.

Once in place, the GCMS will improve overall program integrity, effectiveness and client-service delivery. It will also facilitate communications and data sharing between CIC and the CBSA and with our other partners for the purposes of the administration of IRPA. In addition, the GCMS will provide the technological foundation to support new business initiatives and capitalize on innovative technology.

Project Phase: The GCMS project is currently in the development phase of its second release

Lead Department: Citizenship and Immigration Canada

Participating Agency: Canada Border Services Agency

Contracting Authority: Public Works and Government Services Canada

Prime Contractor: Accenture Inc., 160 Elgin Street, Suite 2100, Ottawa, ON K2P 2C4

Progress Report and Explanation of Variances

• Preliminary project approval was obtained from Treasury Board on March 1, 2001, with a planned cost of $194.8 million.
• Effective project approval was obtained from Treasury Board on January 31, 2002, with a planned cost of $194.8 million and a completion date of March 31, 2005.
• Shortly after the preliminary project approval, a decision was made to acquire and configure a commercial client relationship management software package rather than custom develop the functionality required for the GCMS. This necessitated a lengthy competitive procurement process that began in March 2001, with an expected completion date of July 1, 2002. Cumulative procurement and contracting delays beyond CIC control, totalling nine months, prevented the contract from being awarded until March 26, 2003. This delay affected activities and resources highly dependent on the outcome of the procurement process. While the project undertook steps to mitigate the impact of the delay, the cost of the delay was assessed at $7.8 million.
• Approval of an amended EPA was obtained from Treasury Board on October 9, 2003. In recognition of the impact of the procurement delay, Treasury Board increased the project spending authority by $7.8 million to $202.6 million. Subsequent implementation plans addressed the impact of the procurement delay and adjusted the overall project completion date to December 31, 2005.
• The transfer of certain CIC functions to the newly created Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) beginning in December 2003, as well as lessons learned from the first GCMS deployment in September 2004, necessitated further adjustments to the GCMS project plan. These changes formed the basis of a second amendment to the effective project approval, granted by Treasury Board in September 2005, and resulted in a net increase of $40.2 million to the project budget over two additional fiscal years, for a total budget of $242.8 million between fiscal years 2000-2001 and 2007-2008. The increase includes approved new functionalities related to security which were not in the original project ($6.2M) and a $16.3M contingency (only $5.7M of this contingency has been allocated as of January 2006). Despite significant schedule adjustments, the forecasted variance over original project objectives, excluding the procurement delay, funded scope changes, and contingency, is about 10%.
• In preparing for the September 2005 A/EPA, the Treasury Board Secretariat requested that a System under Development Audit (SUD) be performed on GCMS. Preliminary audit findings were available at the time of the amended EPA submission and final SUD audit results were released in November 2005. The SUD indicates that GCMS, despite its complex and challenging nature, is healthy as long as the project management team can bring more discipline in some project management elements such as the management of an integrated schedule and tracking vendor performance. All of the SUD audit recommendations have been accepted and corrective actions have been taken. As part of the amended EPA, the current implementation schedule has been extended to reflect the time required to finalize business requirements, to complete the functional design, to configure and test the application, to incorporate the approved functional scope enhancements, and to complete the overseas rollout in a series of staged deployments to minimize operational disruption.

Industrial Benefits

• The GCMS is an administrative system for delivering on the CIC and CBSA mandates and ensuring operational service effectiveness.

Annex 11

Major Regulatory Initiatives

Legislation and Regulations	Expected Results
CIC is reviewing the measures needed to modernize Canada’s citizenship program as it relates to the adoption of foreign children.	Introduce Bill and pre-publish regulations that will facilitate the access to citizenship for foreign children adopted by Canadian citizens.
CIC will seek direction on an approach to address inventories and seek approval for legislative or regulatory changes necessary while exploring options for a new application intake system.	Create a sustainable basis to manage the application intake for permanent residence.
CIC intends to develop amendments to regulations to reflect updated policies and support the Government agenda.	Support the renewal of targeted policies and increase flexibility in the administration of programs.

Annex 12

Sustainable Development Strategy

Points to Address	Departmental Input
1. How does your department/agency plan to incorporate Sustainable Development (SD) principles and values into your mission, vision, policy and day-to-day operations?	CIC’s third Sustainable Development Strategy (SDS) was tabled in Parliament on February 16, 2004. [note 24] CIC has already incorporated SD principles and values into its mission, vision, policy and day-to-day operations by creating good SD practices. Those good practices take their roots in CIC’s four key goals of its third SDS. The strategy’s key goals are to: Minimize the negative environmental impact of departmental operations; Promote awareness of sustainable development principles and objectives among departmental staff, clients and stakeholders; Support socio-cultural sustainability; and Promote accountability and ensure compliance.
2. What goals, objectives and targets from your most recent SDS will you be focusing on this coming year? How will you measure your success?	CIC will be releasing its 2004-2006 SDS progress report in the coming months. In the coming year, CIC will focus on objectives and targets not yet achieved in the SDS, including: Improving communication and promotion of Sustainable Development; Developing use of Strategic Environmental Assessments; and Inclusion of Sustainable Development principles in evaluation and performance measurement.
3. Identify any sustainable development tools, such as Strategic Environmental Assessments (SEA) or Environmental Management Systems that will be applied over the next year	SEA’s have been conducted in the past for the immigration levels Memorandum to Cabinet. This practice will continue. Training for CIC staff on conducting SEAs is being considered.
