Working with our membership, ITAC establishes and sets targets for where Canada's knowledge economy should be compared to key peer/competitor nations. Where we fall short, ITAC determines what we need to do to get there and ensure we do what is needed in areas such as: skills, capital, tax, science & technology, and collaboration.
ITAC believes Canadian businesses should be leaders in the use of ICT for competitive advantage, productivity and growth. Use of ICT by small and medium enterprises should increase towards that of our US counterparts. By partnering with other associations, as well as with Government, we work to ensure public policy supports these goals.
ITAC strives to ensure Federal, Ontario and other Canadian Governments are leaders in ICT use. ITAC positions itself as a trusted advisor to Government. We gather industry leaders and Government together and work to make it easier for our industry to sell to government.
ITAC believes the Canadian healthcare system should be a world-leading user of ICT to achieve superior patient outcomes and cost-effectiveness, as well as fostering development of a world-leading Canadian health ICT industry. ITAC works to correct chronic under-spend on ICT.
ITAC’s view is Canada’s laws should promote leadership in development and use of advanced technology. We want to ensure efficient and cost-effective measures to protect privacy and instill confidence in the e-economy.
ITAC believes that in order for Canada to continue to compete worldwide, we need to promote policies that will ensure a steady supply of talented men and women for our local ICT industry. We work with industry as well as with Federal, Provincial and local governments to establish initiatives to support this goal.

Corinne Charette Provides Food for Thought at the Inaugural ITAC Series of Meetings with Government
Posted April 20, 2012
ITAC today hosted Corinne Charette, Chief Information Officer for Canada, at the first of a new series of meetings with government.
Ms. Charette, who is responsible for leading policy development and enablement, management oversight and community capacity development for six policy areas (information management, information technology, identity management and security, access to information, privacy, and internal and external services) provided much food for thought during her talk.
Not only did she address the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) in software acquisition, she also shared with the audience some of the key elements of the Government of Canada’s IT modernization strategy which is founded on the three pillars: standardization, consolidation and re-engineering.
The ITAC series of meetings with government is designed to provide ITAC members and other interested individuals with an opportunity to attend meetings with government on a more informal basis. This series is part of a larger initiative by ITAC to deliver more value to its community. For further information, please contact Linda Oliver - loliver@itac.ca.
