CGI professionals gain access to IT
methodology that drives increased quality and productivity
for clients' digital acceleration initiatives worldwide
MONTREAL, June 13, 2019 /PRNewswire/ - CGI (NYSE: GIB)
(TSX: GIB.A) is pleased to be named as the inaugural Scaled
Agile Global Transformation Partner. As part of CGI's
portfolio of capabilities, the company leverages the Scaled Agile
Framework (SAFe®) to enable end-to-end consulting for
clients, producing accelerated business outcomes. For 77,000
consultants globally, this partner distinction further illustrates
CGI's proven ability to provide value to the largest and most
complex enterprises around the globe.
Scaled Agile is a leader in the development of agile approaches
and learning programs, working with thousands of experts and
hundreds of partner organizations globally. CGI's partnership with
Scaled Agile began in 2016. In collaboration with CGI and others,
Scaled Agile created the Global Transformation Partner designation
to identify partners with leading global capabilities. CGI is proud
to be the first global IT services organization with this
designation.
As just one example of CGI's ability to leverage SAFe approaches
to accelerate client results, CGI helped a major global retailer
implement a customer engagement platform in just 20 weeks, when the
program was originally planned for delivery over two years. For
that client, the platform yielded 3.9 million customer
relationships in seven months, demonstrating the value of agile
approaches.
"CGI's clients are delivering global solutions that span
geographies, brands and product lines. The fast, effective and
consistent implementation of agile approaches, such as SAFe, are
becoming a necessity for organizations in order for them to provide
the best services to their customers. These agile approaches
further enable end-to-end consulting, and align our clients'
business and technology leaders for more powerful outcomes. We
believe these approaches are a key way for our clients to manage
the cultural change that accompanies a digital transformation,"
said Dave Henderson, President of
U.S. Commercial and State Government Operations at CGI.
