1. CRA Data Program Patricia Whitridge, Canada Revenue Agency SOI Panel Meeting - June 5,2015

2. 2 Why the need for a CRA Data Program?  Better deal with needs for data that cross program and organizational boundaries, and external data  Currently, no single entity responsible for the data – ITB managed in past  Provide leadership in new types of data usage (e.g. analytics) and new data directions (e.g. Open Data)  Provide a coordinated whole-of-Agency approach to acquiring, using, sharing, managing, and publishing data

3. Program Scope  Builds on existing functions: Data provisioning services (per data sharing agreements, and ad hoc requests) Business Intelligence Centre of Expertise Maintain data catalogue, supported by Managed Metadata Environment Data Stewardship  New functions Identify new data sources and opportunities Data governance Data policies and standards (business-oriented) Talent management Oversee – and report on – state of Agency’s data 3

4. Proposed Program Model  Centralized leadership and coordination, with cross-Agency involvement  Existing functional and technical responsibilities for managing data are maintained  Data Program works in partnership with branches/regions and ITB  Accountability for Data Program is assigned to a new role: Chief Data Officer 4
