SULZBACH, Germany, April 25,
2023 /PRNewswire/ - CGI (NYSE: GIB) (TSX: GIB.A)
and Fraport AG, which operates Frankfurt Airport, Germany's largest aviation hub, are partnering
to accelerate the airport's digitization under a five-year
framework agreement. Fraport AG, one of the world's largest airport
operators with business activities at 29 airports on four
continents, selected CGI as its digital partner with the aim of
further enhancing Frankfurt Airport's customer experience and
increasing its overall competitiveness through new digital business
models and technologies.
"We are realigning Frankfurt Airport technologically—a major
task and, with CGI, we have found a flexible and competent
partner," said Dr. Wolfgang Standhaft, CIO of Fraport AG. "We are
excited about working with CGI on new ideas and solutions that we
can implement together quickly and securely."
Through a balanced cloud-first approach, a key goal of the
framework agreement is to move more of the airport's applications
to the cloud as part of a strategic IT realignment. Further,
Fraport and CGI will work together to lay a foundation for the
integration of other advanced technologies such as intelligent
automation and artificial intelligence within the airport's
operations. Fraport's aim is to harness these technologies to
support airport staff in their daily work, particularly for ground
handling services.
As part of this cloud transformation, CGI will provide
consulting, cloud solutions, and managed IT services as well as
change management to help Fraport AG integrate new processes and
introduce new ways of working. CGI's services will help to ensure
an optimal and timely cloud migration and provide ongoing
application support. Fraport AG chose CGI based on its local
proximity, in-depth aviation experience and expertise, and
extensive capabilities in the areas of digitization, process
optimization, and automation. CGI has more than 1,000 professionals
focused on aviation in proximity to Fraport AG's headquarters in
Frankfurt.
"Our collaboration with Fraport AG has been a success story
since we first began working together on joint projects in 2021,"
notes Ralf Bauer, Senior
Vice-President, Germany Central and South at CGI. "This new
partnership is the next step in our ongoing and active support of
Fraport's major digitization projects. It gives us additional
opportunities to deliver significant value to Fraport though our
comprehensive IT expertise and onsite/nearshore/offshore
resources."
