The ecosystem includes public websites (bankofcanada.ca, www.bankofcanadamuseum.ca ), internal platforms (intranet), and core data and publishing services, including Azure DataMart and the Valet API, as well as the workflows and tools that enable  reliable policy-cycle delivery.

DX is also expanding its ability to support AI-enabled workflows as part of broader Bank capabilities. This includes integrating language-model services into real business processes while meeting strict security and compliance requirements.
