History
Ontario Shared Services was created in 1998, within the Management Board Secretariat.
It was then named the Shared Services Bureau, and combined administrative support staff and functions previously located both in the Management Board Secretariat and individual ministries and agencies.
The Shared Services Bureau was originally headed by a Chief Executive Officer, reporting to the Secretary of Management Board, and was comprised of a Transition Secretariat (until 2002), the Financial and Administraione Services Branch, the Service Systems Branch, and the Workforce Information Network (transferred to the Office of the Secretary of Management Board in 1999)
Various re-organizations of the Financial and Administration Services Branch took place in the following years, including the creation of the Customer Services Branch (1999) and the Human Resources Service Delivery Branch (2000).
In 2005, the Management Board Secretariat ceased to exist, and the Shared Service Bureau became part of the Ministry of Government Services.
Also in 2005, the Shared Services Bureau was renamed Ontario Shared Services and re-organized.
As of 2006, it is headed by an Associate Deputy Minister, with the various branches reporting through five Assistant Deputy Ministers: Financial Transactional Services, Supply Chain Management, Strategy and Enterprise Services, HR Transactional Services, and Integrated Financial Information System.
