Digital-Support-Team-Guidelines
The Digital Support Team within the Office of the Cheif Information Officer (OCIO) supports the Treasury Board and Digital Investment Board in assessing and supporting ministries digital and technology initiatives. This repository will share guidelines and OCIO Digital Annex.
Background
-
This OCIO Digital Annex supports the Government of BC in adopting a coherent, enterprise approach to funding and governing technology. The OCIO has been directed to sign off from an enterprise architecture perspective on operating and capital expenditures for information technology funding requests.
-
Efforts from the OCIO to enhance practices around funding technology align with government’s commitment to “restore public services and make opportunities available to everyone” while delivering on the promise of digital government.
Purpose of the Digital Annex
-
The OCIO Digital Annex (April 2021 draft) is intended to serve as a prototype. It could, in the future, support an updated digital investment model for government.
-
The Annex is designed to help implement government’s policy on IM and IT (CPPM Chapter 12), the Digital Principles, and the Service Standard (draft).
-
The content here is in part inspired by governance built around the Government of Canada’s Enterprise Architecture Review Board and the UK Spend Control Assessment Criteria. OCIO aims to align with global best practices in funding technology.
