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.

Shared Services Canada consults ITAC Experts
Posted October 30, 2012
The inaugural meeting of SSC's Architecture Framework Advisory Committee was held October 11th to seek industry advice on the Government's plans to transform its ICT enterprise architecture. Industry participants with expertise in network and data centre architecture were identified by ITAC and other associations. SSC is asking industry experts to "explore, weigh options and make recommendations" on how best to consolidate technology platforms to reduce costs and increase efficiencies. See SSC's presentation here in English or French.
ITAC has been actively engaged with SSC, and supports its consultative approach. Please note there will be opportunity for discussion on this and other issues at ITAC's Public Sector Business Committee meetings (next one November 27, 2012).
