While operational continuity will remain SSC’s first priority in year two, the planning focus will shift towards consolidation and standardization objectives. Our engagement with departments will intensify as SSC launches the new email solution, and takes on additional responsibilities related to cyber security and end user devices. Integrated planning and discussion across government on priorities will help SSC take partner program requirements and business cycles into account, and support partner readiness for SSC work that has an impact on them. Engagement with industry will remain key as we complete the plans for enterprise-wide data centre services and for network transformation and begin consolidation and transition activities. 11
