Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) and the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada (DFAIT) have recently awarded competitive multi-year contracts to Oproma, a Gatineau-based technology company.

Valued at C$1 million for the first year, this software-as-a-service will allow the Department to securely exchange property project documents while complying with confidentiality rules and requirements. The OPROMA System^TM enables centralized and secure online collaboration of PWGSC staff with external stakeholders.

This January, DFAIT awarded Oproma, also through public tender, with a two year contract with a value up-to C$1.5 million, including three one year extension options. DFAIT's Project Implementation Services main objective is to facilitate the execution of projects abroad through the use of a secure cloud-based collaboration system available to external contractors and other parties.
