Mandate

Shared Services Canada (SSC) was created in 2011, to transform how the government manages and secures its information technology (IT) infrastructure. 

SSC plays a key role in the government’s ability to deliver digital programs and services that improve the lives of Canadians, their families and communities.

SSC works in partnership with key public-sector and private-sector stakeholders to implement enterprise-wide approaches for managing IT infrastructure services and employ effective and efficient business management processes. Maintaining strong customer relationships and service management is essential to the successful delivery of SSC’s mandate.
