As of [date], Common Hosted Forms (CHEFS) will be supported by a product development team working in the Exchange Lab, a branch of the Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO). CHEFS has become a prevailing solution for creating and publishing secure forms with streamlined workflows for receiving online submissions. The Ministry of Citizens Services is ready to formally support CHEFS as an official solution for use in BC government. Transferring accountability and ownership to a dedicated team will bring long-term stability and expand business capabilities for forms and submissions across the province. We are executing a strategy for a smooth transition that ensures users experience no disruption to their stored data, published forms and submissions workflow. This means that all existing users can continue to use CHEFS as usual throughout the brief transition period.

The current team that develops and maintains CHEFS is handing it over to a new team. The Showcase team has done an amazing job developing and supporting CHEFS and its users. A new Forms and Submissions team looks forward to carrying the torch in September 2022, working closely with users to develop new capabilities, and provide ongoing support. Branding and corporate ownership of CHEFS will be changing from the natural resources sector to the Ministry of Citizens Services and Exchange Lab branch of the OCIO. This will include changing to a new URL and web domain. In the coming months, the existing CHEFS URL and web domains, including links to published forms, will automatically redirect to the new URL and web domains. More information about this will be provided in due time. Some changes to administration and technical infrastructure will take place. We anticipate no impact to user experience. However, if an impact is identified, we will promptly communicate with forms owners about what they might expect, so that we can mitigate any disruptions to their workflow. |
