Shared Information Management System for Infrastructure (SIMSI)

SIMSI is an on-line information management tool that enables the management of all Infrastructure Canada programs. SIMSI is a web-based system that conforms to the Government On-Line commitment, and meets the higher standards of openness and transparency, due diligence and reporting demanded by Canadians.

SIMSI permits municipalities to apply on-line for project funding, monitor project status and provide claim information throughout the life of a project. It allows Infrastructure Canada, Federal Delivery Partners, Provinces and Territories to access funding applications, apply due diligence, track & report project approvals, completion & closure, track benefits, and financial commitments & expenditures.

SIMSI also allows Canadians to have access to announced projects via the Infrastructure Canada web site.
