Guaranteed Loan Management System

The Guaranteed Loan Management System (GLMS) Project is an initiative to replace an obsolete legacy system that relies on outdated Client / Server technology and which is no longer supportable or viable for the long term. The current system also does not meet the needs of the business community.

The project is intended to make the Guaranteed Loans businesses process perform more effectively, improve individual departmental productivity/teamwork and create the capacity to anticipate and to lead changes. Business transformation is necessary to effect a reduction in the paper burden and realize automation for current manual workflows associated with the current Guaranteed Loans management process and to re-engineer the Guaranteed Loans Management System.

Project Objectives

The proper management, control and accountability of Ministerial Guaranteed Loans which are guaranteed by the Minister are essential to ensure accurate reflection of the Department's contingent liabilities and accounts receivables resulting from defaulted loans which requires INAC to "pay out" the loan. As a result this project seeks to achieve the following main objectives:

Provide a system that enables and promotes best practices for the Guaranteed Loans business processes - that are efficient, sustainable and automated, to the extent practical and cost effective;
To streamline the Guaranteed Loans business processes consistently across all regions, Sectors, and the NCR;
To provide a web-enabled system that is intuitive to use, is dependable with an architecture that is supportable and maintainable.
