The Department of National Defence (DND) has been revolutionizing how its real property and infrastructure assets are managed. Since 2019, Publivate has partnered with DND’s Real Property Spatial (RPS) community to help support the transformation to digital asset management and the adoption of internationally recognized standards. Digital Built RPS is a commitment from the department’s spatial data community to support the broader Defence Team in the move from paper-based to data-driven workflows and digitalized real property.

Publivate has been working to assist the widespread adoption throughout DND of the shift to digital. Much of the work has revolved around raising awareness and helping to promote future advocates and people to help drive the change in the industry. DND has engaged various government departments and industry partners to provide standards and training materials while building a community around data-driven workflows.

Publivate has assisted DND in engaging with other government departments and industry partners to provide standards and training material, develop interactive tools, and build a community around data-driven workflows. We can support you in the process of going digital by sharing resources and connecting you with our collaboration platform.
