THE OPPORTUNITY

Project Context
The Ministry develops data products for use by Ministry staff in the form of datasets, reports and analytics. Currently, this is accomplished with a variety of manual and semi-automated processes using a wide variety of technologies.


In 2022, the Ministry began the development of an 'Finance Data Strategy' to understand its current state, leverage learnings from other jurisdictions to set a direction, and articulate its vision for effectively managing data moving forward (the "Strategy").

The Strategy included recommendations and a high-level, multi-year, strategic reference roadmap. In 2023, the Ministry received endorsement of a four year, detailed implementation plan for the Strategy.


The Strategy and the implementation plan are part of a comprehensive four-year initiative to modernize the Ministry information technology, which started in 2022/2023.

Several projects detailed in the implementation plan have been started, and the Ministry is preparing to undertake another phase of the implementation plan by beginning component development detailed in the implementation plan in


Specifically, this phase will consist of several overlapping components each with their own phases and expected deliverables, each either building upon an existing Ministry asset or creating a new ministry asset to fulfil on the Ministry's overall data strategy.

Each component is envisaged and structured as a business-driven design process, followed by an iterative and end-to-end development process that delivers value in the form of a Ministry asset early in the project lifespan and then iteratively throughout the life of the component.

The components fall into two main groups. The first group of components is the development of the Ministry data operations platform.

The data operations platform is a collection of components forming a set of services that will be available to Ministry staff to enable them to create high quality data products primarily for internal use, in the form of datasets, reports and analytics in a structured, maintainable and supportable way.

The second group of projects is to populate the data operations platform with data by creating data pipelines and, in some cases, by manually gathering metadata from unstructured sources, to assist the Ministry data teams to make their data products more discoverable, accessible and usable.
