NEPTUNE Canada

DMAS Advisory Committe

The DMAS advisory board provides regular technology guidance to NEPTUNE Canada. This is critically important in our present environment of rapidly evolving technologies, standards and practices. The advisory committee can help us keep abreast of the latest developments in IT—developments we might overlook as we focus on system nuts and bolts.

The committee is mandated to:

• review DMAS technologies and methods, looking for risk factors
• propose alternative technologies/methods, helping weigh risks/benefits to costs and timelines
• suggest best practices for turning DMAS into a product for broader distribution or commercialization
• report on committee findings, discussions recommendations
