Public Works Minister Judy Foote Tuesday unveiled a key piece of the government’s efforts to try to regain control of its information technology agenda.
Foote announced the award of a $322 million contract – to be spread over 25 years – to expand a data centre at Base Borden. The winning bid was submitted by a consortium that includes Forum Equity Partners, Walsh Contractors and Balfour Beatty. The consortium, Uptime Infrastructure, will manage digital information such as Canada Pension Plan files on behalf of Shared Services Canada, the government’s central computer services agency.
If all goes according to plan, the new facility will be up and running by the fall of 2017. The Borden data centre is one of a handful meant to take over the job of storing federal government information and software applications currently residing on hundreds of smaller, aging facilities.
As of last month, fewer than eight per cent of the government’s 15,000 plus software applications had been transferred from older data centres to new ones at Gatineau and Barrie. While the overall plan gives Shared Services another four years to transfer the entire lot, engineers involved in the project say that deadline will not likely be met.
In his first budget, Finance Minister Bill Morneau added nearly $400 million to Shared Services budget so the agency would be able to keep the older data centres going until new capacity arrives at Borden.
