CGI and Version 1 are working together to support the UK public sector in delivering secure, high-performing, and cost-effective technology solutions. Our collaboration brings together decades of expertise to help central government organisations modernise critical services, enhance security, and improve citizen experiences.

A partnership built for impact

As a trusted IT services provider, CGI has a strong track record of delivering mission-critical technology solutions that underpin essential UK government services. Our expertise in service transition and operational resilience ensures that public sector systems remain stable, secure, and efficient.

CGI has previously collaborated with migration and border organisations to leverage innovative technology solutions. For example, CGI partnered with Statistics Netherlands (CBS) to explore the use of satellite imagery and social media data to monitor migration flows. This feasibility study assessed:

  • The Syrian crisis and the ability to predict asylum flows earlier
  • Migration patterns in Niger and their impact on European borders
  • The effectiveness of refugee reception centres, such as Heumensoord in the Netherlands.
     

This demonstrates our ability to integrate cutting-edge data intelligence into border management strategies.

Version 1 complements this expertise with deep capabilities in software engineering, cloud transformation, and digital service modernisation. Their experience in reengineering legacy systems and driving cloud adoption enhances agility and efficiency across government programmes.

Together, CGI and Version 1 deliver a balanced, future-ready approach to government technology, enabling enhanced border security, seamless operations, and improved digital services.

Tackling public sector challenges together

The UK government’s digital transformation efforts require solutions that address complex challenges, including:

  • Scalable, resilient border systems that handle high-demand environments
  • Secure migration from legacy systems to modern, modular architectures
  • Cybersecurity and compliance frameworks that protect national infrastructure
  • Efficient service delivery models that optimise taxpayer value

CGI’s experience in using advanced analytics for migration pattern monitoring highlights our ability to provide data-driven insights that support proactive decision-making in border management. Combined with Version 1’s digital transformation capabilities, we deliver robust, innovative, and cost-effective solutions tailored to the needs of government agencies.
