These points briefly…

These points briefly summarize our key input, further explained in the accompanying document.

1) As a PRO, we rely on accurate information in our systems in order to aggregate, compile, analyze and report on results of activities, both to run our business and to ensure our Producer Customers are in compliance with the legislation

2) It will be CRITICAL that we (and arguably other stakeholders/service providers) have access to the information that may be input into the new system, in REAL TIME (or as close to real time as possible) through the use of an API (or other similar mechanism), without the possibility of human error (ie. download a flat-file/report, manipulate it and upload into our system).

3) Do not underestimate the amount of Change Management that will need to be done in the various industries, especially those industries where there may be bad behaviour that could be exposed through this type of reporting system.

4) By working with stakeholders that will rely on this information and are investing in their own IT infrastructure to manage their own business, there will be a FANTASTIC opportunity to develop a system that will truly meet the needs of the Ministry , of Ontarians, and Ontario businesses – we look forward to be able to be a part of the process going forward.
