The Land and Resources Cluster (LRC) has developed a robust, modernized digital compliance solution for the Ministry of Environment, Conservation, and Parks (MECP) called the Environmental Compliance Hub of Ontario (ECHO). The 2020 Ontario Onwards Action Plan has identified a Smart Regulation Transformation Strategy which has recommended the adoption of ECHO as the OPS-wide shared use platform for compliance related functions when regulatory Ministries are planning to replace existing compliance applications, have a new requirement or will benefit from integration to enable cross-ministry oversight and analytics.

In 2022, this shared use platform called Digital Compliance Platform (DCP) has been expanded to two partner ministries and continual expansion is the scope for this assignment.

DCP has been designed/configured using Oracle Siebel technology, and is based on leaned and streamlined compliance processes representing 4 common compliance business functions:

• Regulatory Profile Management
• Responsive Event Management (e.g. incidents, complaints)
• Compliance Monitoring and Assurance (inspections and their outcome)
• Investigation and Enforcement

The purpose of this project is to:

Continue to build and scale out DCP as a shared use service / product for regulatory Ontario Ministry compliance related programs. This will include updates to DCP's business and technical architecture and maturing of its Dev Ops processes like automated testing.

Onboarding of new Ministry programs onto DCP as part of the second onboarding phase, including a digital channel to issue and manage licenses.
