OSFI Industry Research Inititative

The Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions is in the process of developing a business case for the Supervision Technology Tools Renewal (STTR) initiative and an associated Request for Proposal (RFP) for the provision of third party System Integration professional services to support the STTR initiative. The main objective of this initiative is to notify Industry (including System Integrators, Industry Researchers and other Government of Canada Departments and Agencies) of OSFI’s intentions with respect to the STTR Project and encourage dialogue with the various participants in order to solicit feedback regarding their experience with similar technology initiatives and obtain:

suggestions regarding the implementation approach that could be used based on OSFI’s STTR high level requirements and the targeted solution platform, Microsoft Dynamics CRM; a rough order of magnitude estimate on SI implementation costs to carry out the work which will help OSFI to secure necessary funding; and suggestions regarding third party tools or integration technology that could enrich the solution architecture, and enable and streamline the implementation effort.

In addition, there is a complementary objective aimed at receiving comments on the feasibility (as part of the STTR project) of delivering a second implementation work stream for the selection and implementation of an OSFI-wide Planning system, which is tightly integrated with STTR, to support operational and corporate planning and to indicate any associated risks or opportunities that delivering two parallel work streams might introduce.
