Grants and Contributions
About this information
In June 2016, as part of the Open Government Action Plan, the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat (TBS) committed to increasing the transparency and usefulness of grants and contribution data and subsequently launched the Guidelines on the Reporting of Grants and Contributions Awards, effective April 1, 2018.
The rules and principles governing government grants and contributions are outlined in the Treasury Board Policy on Transfer Payments. Transfer payments are transfers of money, goods, services or assets made from an appropriation to individuals, organizations or other levels of government, without the federal government directly receiving goods or services in return, but which may require the recipient to provide a report or other information subsequent to receiving payment. These expenditures are reported in the Public Accounts of Canada. The major types of transfer payments are grants, contributions and \'other transfer payments\'.
Included in this category, but not to be reported under proactive disclosure of awards, are (1) transfers to other levels of government such as Equalization payments as well as Canada Health and Social Transfer payments. (2) Grants and contributions reallocated or otherwise redistributed by the recipient to third parties; and (3) information that would normally be withheld under the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act.

Management Console Consolidation Project
953176
Ackroo acquired multiple competitor and non competitor companies and their products and technology in the gift and rewards and marketing industry in Canada. With this, some technology assets come with web console components. Ackroo already has its legacy original Program Console web application used by its clients, the merchant, to manage their rewards and gift program online and their customer base and a Virtual Terminal (VT) web application that is used for processing transactions for any internet and web browser enabled devices. As such, Ackroo wants to consolidate these management web consoles into a single web application that offers tools for program setup, customer and transaction lookup, a marketing/communication hub, and VT.

A data-driven approach for rewards and marketing platform
926901
The project entails the architecture and implementation of Extract Transform Load (ETL) data pipelines to capture all data that is reaching Ackroo APIs, allow for the incremental data transformation to empower data manipulation based on customer or business segment or system data filtering criteria, and the loading of data into big data stores to unlock the future implementation of multiple data services that can consume these data sets. This enables Ackroo to morph from being a gift and rewards processing technology to offering data, business insights, and marketing products and services, and empowering the rewards engine to offer intelligent promotional and rewards campaigns to increase customer spending at the business.
