Two of Canada’s technology associations who have often competed for market share have decided to join forces, CIPS (Canadian Information Processing Society) and CATAAlliance (Canadian Advanced Technology Alliance) announced a new partnership between the two organizations. As part of the partnership, CIPS and CATAAlliance are planning to undertake the following:
- Design and execute a national study on the value of IT professionalism and the Information Systems Professional of Canada -
I.S.P. designation to Canadian businesses today;
- Mobilize respective memberships to further the industry’s Innovation Nation Platform, a set of measures designed to accelerate high tech business growth in Canada;
- Undertake collaborative advocacy to improve Canada’s investment climate; and
- Host a joint roundtable on the skills shortage issue, a core interest of both organizations.

Many will may remember the Smart Toronto initiative about seven years ago that was launched and promised to give Toronto’s business community a voice and platform for growth. It was later consolidated under the CATA umbrella and we haven’t seen or heard anything of the promise since, will CIPS be next?
