Other Internal
Internal Data Users (Policy, Inspectors, Enforcement, Cost Recovery)
Current system does not report on service standards and cannot accommodate Cost Recovery;
Poor reliability/quality of data - out of date, potentially incorrect data. No way to flag/recognize questionable information provided by clients.;
Automatic issuing of renewal certificates (LVR) increases the likelihood of outdated owner information
No method to "Flag" vessels or owners of concern (For WAHVA-related action, inspection, pollution concerns, enforcement, etc.);
No communication between related databases/computer systems (SIRS, PCL, CPSCS, MIU, etc.) and their respective groups, particularly related to owner identification;
IT Support (DSD-Marine)
Current systems are outdated and difficult to update/maintain;
No interoperability between the various systems within MSS or without;
Data is independently duplicated across multiple systems (e.g. vessel data entered into SRCS, then entered again separately into SIRS when an inspection occurs);
Architecture is duplicated and in silos.;
Systems are not designed to meet Digital Transformation goals
Client Support (Service Canada)
Access to data re: applications received, status, etc.
Limitations on data availability (mortgages?)
