Description of requirement
The Passport Technology and Information Services Branch (PTISB) will need to ensure that a full complement of resources are available to maintain the current passport issuance system,while (CIC) migrates to a new passport issuance solution. Consequently, PTISB needs to have consultants available to assist as required on IRIS maintenance and support as well as on various IT priority projects.
IRIS is the main component of the passport issuing system. It is a custom legacy system comprised of a complex suite of applications used by CIC's Passport Program to process and issue Canadian passports. Used in all Passport offices across Canada, IRIS is a thick-client application, comprised of a main client that runs on the end user's desktop and a family of various Supplementary Applications (Supp Apps) that connect to a backend database system. IRIS was mainly written in PowerBuilder, however some new components have been written in .NET
In order to meet changing operational needs, the Passport program is undergoing a series of business transformation initiatives including, among others, the integration of the passport issuing system to Global Case Management System (GCMS). As a result, the CIC Passport Program's Business Solutions Development division (PPBS) is under pressure to maintain the legacy issuing system until the transition is completed.
The scope of this requirement is to provide information technology (IT) professional services to address system maintenance and enhancements related to the CIC Passport Program's IRIS family suite of applications and priority IT projects.
As such, CIC - Passport Program has identified a need for a team of experienced consultants in support of this requirement.
