FAIRFAX,
Va., Aug. 30, 2023 /CNW/ - CGI Federal Inc.,
the wholly-owned U.S. operating subsidiary of CGI Inc. (NYSE: GIB)
(TSX: GIB.A), today announced the award of a 5-year task order for
ongoing development of the Department of Homeland Security's U.S.
Citizenship and Immigration Services' (USCIS) digital immigration
records systems. The award was made to CGI Federal under the
Alliant 2 contract vehicle's Records Management Support Services
(RMSS) task order. The award, which has a total potential value of
$159 million (US dollars), includes
CGI's delivery of agile development teams to build, expand, and
manage technology that is part of a multi-year initiative to
modernize USCIS records.
"We are proud to continue our longstanding relationship with
USCIS and look forward to extending our role as a mission-critical
partner in the digital transformation of the nation's immigration
process," said Clay Goldwein, Senior
Vice-President and National Security and Justice Business Unit lead
at CGI Federal. "CGI Federal's ongoing innovation on behalf of
USCIS ensures its systems and solutions meet current requirements
and are ready for future growth and evolution."
CGI Federal is facilitating the transformation of the current
immigration benefits claim process to a fully electronic,
streamlined experience. This transformation optimizes the
experience by decreasing processing time, safeguarding resources,
and increasing the accuracy of immigration claims through agile
development systems integration and infrastructure services.
Additionally, CGI Federal's mission-focused delivery helps USCIS
accurately capture records for preservation for future generations
by the National Archives and Records Administration.
As a dedicated contributor to USCIS' modernization, CGI
Federal also has played an integral role in connecting federal
agencies responsible for managing broader immigration processes.
This year, CGI Federal was part of the team that implemented a
solution that empowers USCIS and the Department of State to
digitally process Special Immigrant Visas and also digital
solutions for the border. CGI Federal shared the USCIS Director's
Award for Ingenuity and Innovation in 2023 for its role in these
agile digitization efforts.
