Indicators of Transformation Success

The Vision for IM will have been achieved when the Government of Canada sees:

  • Consistent and immediate availability of accurate, timely, complete and useful information needed for service delivery, program management and tracing decisions and processes.
  • Appropriate access to and a significant reduction in the loss, corruption, and misuse of information.
  • Information interoperability across programs and jurisdictions, and with collaborators in the not-for-profit/voluntary and private sectors.
  • A significant reduction in the cost of, and time required for integrating information and information handling processes across services.
  • The ability, across government, to view and easily aggregate information assets on demand.
  • A significant reduction in the cost of and time required to effect changes to information holdings and associated processes.
  • A significant increase in the confidence of the integrity of government reports.
  • A significant improvement in the ease with which program clients/Canadians can realize their information-related rights (e.g. access to information, control over personal information, etc.) in doing business and interacting with the government.
