The purpose of the Centrally Deployed Templates Solution (CDTS) is essentially to deliver the presentation layer of the Canada.ca or intranet.canada.ca themes to web assets. It decouples the presentation layer from the business logic of a static website or web application and allows rapid updates across multiple networks.
