Marketwired
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has awarded CGI Federal
Inc. (CGI), a wholly-owned U.S. operating subsidiary of CGI Group
Inc. (NYSE:GIB)(TSX:GIB.A), a six-year, US$21.28 million contract
to host its financial accounting and management systems in the
CGI-hosted Momentum® Community Cloud, with the goal of reducing
costs while increasing efficiencies.
Under the contract, CGI will transition NRC's financial system,
the Financial Accounting Integrated Management Information Systems
(FAIMIS), from their current hosting provider to CGI's Momentum
Community Cloud infrastructure, consistent with the government's
commitment to maximize its return on investment on IT.
Additionally, CGI will provide end-to-end application support,
including help desk, maintenance, systems analysis, and
training.
"Last year, we partnered with NRC to replace a dozen legacy
financial systems with one integrated enterprise-wide system,
streamlining their processes and increasing efficiency - to help
them do more with less," said Toni Townes-Whitley, Senior
Vice-President, CGI. "Transitioning the NRC's system to the cloud
takes these efforts to the next level by helping them improve
operations while ensuring their business functions remain
affordable, flexible, and secure."
The Momentum Community Cloud is built in CGI's certified, secure
cloud and provides a shared infrastructure that is dedicated to
Momentum's federal government ERP clients who have unique security
and compliance requirements. Through this hosted solution, Momentum
clients benefit from expedited deployment, financial
predictability, faster upgrades, and greater return on investment.
CGI delivers cloud solutions for both the government and commercial
enterprise markets in the United States and Canada.
