Information Resource Management Plan
Introduction
In order to effectively carry out its mandate, the Ministry of
Energy and Mines is committed to the provision of expanded internet
services. The use of corporate services and adherence to government
standards are a focus to ensure implementation of these services
is based on Best Practices principals.
Business Directions
The ministry is working towards improving the accessibility and
timeliness of information to the public and to industry by the use
of Internet technology. The Map Selection Project is in the initial
stage of development to replace ground staking as the standard method
of allocating all mining rights in the Province and will transfer
all paper-based transactions to internet technology. Also, initiatives
in line with the Government Electronic Initiatives, a program to
maximize efficiency of services throughout government using IT,
continue to be implemented to improve the efficiency of the ministry
operations.
Current Environment
The current technology architecture, which is shared with the Ministry
of Competition, Science and Enterprise, is based on a Windows 2000
platform using the MS Office 2000 suite for standard tools. New
or upgraded systems are being configured with Windows and Office XP.
This is consistent with current government standards.
Strategies
Proposed strategies include:
- Ensuring all ministry employees are computer program knowledgeable
and use internet and intranet technology;
- Enhancing the availability of ministry information via internet
and intranet technology;
- Reviewing business processes to ensure services provided are
consistent with client’s requirements, and utilizing electronic
interfaces where appropriate;
- Continue to maintain servers and systems at government standard
level wherever possible; and,
- Developing all new multi-user databases according to government
standards and ministry requirements.
Progress towards Corporate Standards
The ministry has been highly successful in making progress towards
meeting government standards, particularly in the areas of electronic
mail, web site standards and desktop office software. All new multi-user
databases are to be developed according to Government standards
and ministry requirements.
