IPS is working with Ernst & Young LLP (EY) and SAP Canada
Inc. (SAP) to digitize PSPC procurement system through the
implementation and management of a cloud-based electronic
procurement solution. The new solution, which will be using SAP®
Ariba®, SAP® Fieldglass® and ServiceNow, will provide an intuitive,
web-based portal for PSPC and its suppliers to access procurement
information and services in both English and French.
The new platform will enable PSPC to purchase various goods and
services through a single portal, easily configure specific
requirements, and access data, reporting and analytics information
in real-time to support more effective decision-making. Based on
the experience within PSPC, the government will determine whether
to expand the solution to other federal departments and agencies.
Provincial and municipal organizations will later be offered an
option to use this new platform to streamline their procurement
processes and reduce the administrative burden while engaging with
more than 183,000 government suppliers.
As the prime system integrator, IPS will implement the SAP-based
solution and set up a network that provides Tier 1, 2 and 3 support
services. EY Canada will
facilitate the design and deployment of future state processes and
enabling technology to support PSPC procurement modernization
agenda. EY Canada will also
provide change management and training support as the program gets
rolled out.
"Navigating their programs and services to a digital future
requires organizations to not only identify the right technologies
to implement, but also to enable them quickly and at-scale," said
Eric Paternoster, Chief Executive
Officer, Infosys Public Services. "We are honored and excited
to have been selected by the Government of Canada to do just this - modernize procurement
systems to make it easier for the government and the suppliers to
interact, transact and better serve Canadians."
"This is an incredible opportunity to work with IPS to align
procurement services with the Government of Canada's digital transformation," said
Andy Canham, Managing
Director of SAP Canada. "We look forward to working
with IPS in their delivery of an intelligent, collaborative
platform for federal procurement to set the standard for the public
sector across the country."
