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.

ITAC Digital Commerce Roundtable: “Building Community at the Globe and Mail”
Featuring:
Angus Frame, VP of Digital Media at the Globe and Mail
Jen Evans, Founder and Chief Strategist of Sequentia
As newspapers, magazines and publishing houses around the world reel from the game changing impacts of the internet and social media, the Globe and Mail has invested in a bold new approach to its daily engagement with Canadians, a program called the Globe Catalysts, that may very well chart a path forward for other news organizations. Not only has it redesigned and rejuvenated its print edition, it has enlivened and enriched its online offering. It has also established a social media position that represents a serious commitment to build community out of the glorious babble of democratic discourse. Why the Globe took this historic step and how they did it will be the subject of ITAC’s next Digital Commerce Roundtable. Angus Frame, Vice-President of Digital Media at the Globe and Mail will join Jen Evans, Founder and Chief Strategist of Sequentia Environics to provide an inside view of how a 138-year old institution has transformed itself for the 21st century. This promises to be a lively discussion that may very well have an impact on how your enterprise views its content and its community. Don’t miss it!
