Canadian Yachting December 2017 - 48

Sample layout for the new CPS-ECP website

IT Project Update
Following the Conference in Vancouver last fall, the Executive Committee made a commitment to the members of
CPS-ECP to make much needed improvements to our Information Technology Platform. Since then a three-phased
process was undertaken that will result in an updated, more
efficient and effective system to serve the needs of CPS-ECP,
its members, Squadrons, Districts, Administration, and Educational Services for now and for the foreseeable future.

THE PORT HOLE

Phase I - IT Business Needs Assessment
We contracted with a consultant to conduct an IT Assessment, which was the "Discovery" process. This step involved gathering information from the volunteer leadership across the organization to determine what CPS-ECP
needs and where it wants to go with a new system. This
made sure that the goals, objectives, and strategies were
properly defined and understood so that the next phase,
that of developing specifications, including detailed instructions of the architecture required, could be undertaken. In other words, the critical part of this phase was to
do a comprehensive business needs analysis.
Phase II - Requests for Proposal
This phase involved taking the results of Phase I and designing the things required to transform Phase I objectives
into specific roadmaps that IT Project Managers could use
to build the systems (including websites), which is Phase
III. Phase II resulted in the issuance of a Request for Proposal (RFP) to a number of companies to give them the
opportunity to present IT solutions first to our IT Renewal

Canadian Yachting

Team and ultimately to the Executive Committee and the
Board of Directors.
The RFP resulted in the selection of Innovexa Solutions as
the company to build our new IT Platform.
Phase III - The Building Stage
Innovexa has been working closely with our IT Project
Team and members from all levels of CPS-ECP to ensure
that they meet our expectations and build a comprehensive website that will service our Public, Member, Officer
and Administrative needs. The website was "Unveiled" at
the National Conference in Charlottetown. Those in attendance had the opportunity to see what has been built and
speak directly with the IT Team as well as representatives
from Innovexa.
There will be further communications to all members outlining the launch details and the login process for the new
site. Care has been taken to ensure that using the new site
is an easy, stress-free experience.
Stay tuned...
