DCC Digital Modernization & Adoption Plan (DMAP)
Currently closed for applications — retained for monitoring and historical context
Overview
DCC DMAP is closed; use it as a historical model, not a live funding promise
OCI currently lists Digital Modernization & Adoption Plan (DMAP) as closed for applications. The guide remains useful for eligibility history and preparation if the stream reopens, but it should not be sold as available funding.
The live customer path should be an AI readiness or digital modernization assessment first, then active implementation, training, software-credit, SR&ED, export, or regional scale-up supports where they fit.
If a customer is running operations on spreadsheets, manual inventory, or disconnected systems, position this as a modernization roadmap opportunity rather than a guaranteed DMAP reimbursement.

Application Process
Confirm intake status
Check OCI DCC before quoting any DMAP reimbursement.
Run readiness assessment
Map workflows, software stack, bottlenecks, data risk, and implementation priorities.
Match active supports
Route the customer to active training, SR&ED, export, regional, software-credit, or implementation options.
Monitor OCI
If DMAP reopens, convert the readiness package into an application-ready scope.
Common Mistakes
Quoting closed funding
Do not tell customers DMAP will reimburse the assessment while OCI lists applications as closed.
Hiring for reimbursement before approval
If the stream reopens, start reimbursable work only after the program confirms approval.
Vague project scope
Even without DMAP funding, the assessment needs a specific operational scope: inventory, scheduling, CRM, accounting, security, or AI governance.
