Success Stories

Health and Community Services

Under a tight timeline of 2 months, this work required interviews and workshops with a multitude of Ministry staff (within a 6 week timeframe). The assessment covered 4 architectures: Application, Information, Technology, Security, and the IT processes used by the Ministry.
