Canada GeoPortal a Hit

Our Canada GeoPortal service is being adopted by several groups in the federal government. Since its launch in January we have three main projects:

  • PHAI Collaboration Portal. A collaboration portal for the Port Hope Area Initiative that will enable the private sector contractors to easily interact with the Atomic Energy of Canada and PWGSC teams in support of the nuclear waste clean-up in the Port Hope area in Ontario.
  • Real Property Transformation Group – Customer Portal. A portal and associated facility management system enabling the management of all laboratory facility information across the country and associated with all the departments that have laboratories (such as Environment Canada, NRCan, Health Canada, PHAC, etc.).  This enables staff from each department to securely manage their facilities information (data and documents), while the central agency can roll-up and have an overall view across the country.
  • The Engineering Portal. A portal and associated management system for engineering structures across the county (dams, bridges, etc) managed by PWGSC Engineering.  Having access to the information in a secure, map-based environment is giving them much better understanding of their workload, and capital requirements.

More Awards for Ontario GeoPortal
