CGI Group Inc. (NYSE:GIB)(TSX:GIB.A), a leading provider of
information technology and business process services, today
announced that the State of Vermont's Office of Budget and
Management selected, through a competitive evaluation process,
CGI's public sector performance budgeting solution to replace its
aging budget system and integrate with the State's existing
enterprise resource planning (ERP) platform.
Vermont sought a vendor partner that could provide a
comprehensive range of budgetary capabilities including budget
development, revenue planning, position and salary forecasting, and
performance management as well as statewide consolidation,
adoption, and revision capabilities. As part of CGI's AMS Advantage

the public sector without time consuming and costly customizations.

accurate, and reliable. Both U.S. State and Local as well as U.S.
Federal clients use CGI's state-of-the-art budget tool to gain
better visibility into and control of their complex, multi-entity
budgets.

and our solution has a rich heritage of successful
implementations," said Daniel Keene, Vice-President of CGI's AMS
