Fairfax, VA, October 1, 2024

CGI (NYSE: GIB) (TSX: GIB.A), one of the largest independent IT and business consulting services firms in the world, today announced the award of a contract by Anne Arundel County Public Schools (AACPS) in Maryland. The school’s enterprise resource planning (ERP) system will be updated with the latest version of CGI Advantage®, a proven solution that delivers efficient financial operations, automates budget processes, streamlines human resource management, and simplifies vendor engagement. CGI will extend a decades-long collaboration with the school system to transition an on-premise ERP system to the cloud.

“CGI’s consultants and experts continue to serve as trusted advisors as we undertake this ongoing journey to realize our vision for the role of technology in the service of the county’s educators, students and communities,” said AACPS CIO Mike Borkoski. “CGI technology will also continue to play an instrumental role in helping us reach the goals outlined in our Blueprint for Maryland’s Future, which includes a commitment to strengthen governance and accountability through data-driven tools and insights and reduce technical debt by limiting infrastructure maintenance and staying current with software and security updates.”

For AACPS, a school system with more than 6,000 employees, CGI Advantage will facilitate resource planning and management through flexible, secure, SaaS-enabled technology. With a mobile-first design and simplified and intuitive user experience, CGI Advantage has been implemented more than 500 times by public sector organizations nationwide, resulting in reduced risk and streamlined operations for state and local governments and school districts.

“With CGI Advantage, AACPS will benefit from a roadmap of integrations and improved workflows, configurations folded into the modernization effort, and enhanced human resource reporting and onboarding,” said Surabhi Subramanyam, Senior Vice-President, State & Local Government Solutions, CGI. “At the same time, we will deploy solutions that improve the user experience, increase operational efficiencies, and allow access to continuous product updates avoiding repeated costly technology investments.”

Across the country, CGI technology is deployed by organizations like AACPS to optimize limited government resources that are facing personnel shortages and a wave of retirements. By automating financial, human capital and budgeting operations, government entities that modernize ERP systems often see measurable improvements in operational effectiveness, allowing them to focus their workforces on high-value, strategic activities.
