State to leverage CGI's Advantage® ERP
cloud platform under new 10-year agreement
FAIRFAX, VA., May 18, 2021 /CNW Telbec/ - CGI (NYSE: GIB) (TSX:
GIB.A) announced it has been selected earlier this fiscal year by
the State of Michigan for the
ongoing transformation of SIGMA (Statewide Integrated Governmental
Management Applications), the state's enterprise resource planning
(ERP) system. CGI will continue to enhance SIGMA with capabilities
from CGI Advantage, an integrated ERP platform featuring a
mobile-first design and hosted on the CGI Advantage Cloud. Under
the contract, the SIGMA platform will be transformed with an
intuitive and responsive user experience with seamlessly embedded
advanced analytics to facilitate data-driven decision making.
"Working alongside our dedicated and knowledgeable CGI partners,
we have continued to evolve SIGMA as a force for government
transformation and long-term savings for the state," said
Ruth Schwartz of the State of
Michigan. "In addition to providing a highly-effective
platform with CGI Advantage, CGI's deep public sector expertise
fosters innovation and collaboration within its large client
community."
CGI Advantage is built for complex government requirements,
reducing risk and total cost of ownership, and has an unparalleled
industry track record supporting hundreds of thousands of
government users and stakeholders. SIGMA was deployed in
partnership with CGI to eliminate complex and disparate systems by
providing a unified end-to-end solution for accounting, financial
reporting, procurement, performance budgeting, cost allocation,
debt management, asset and inventory management, and employee
timekeeping, leave and labor distribution functions. It replaced
more than 60 outdated systems, including several 25-year-old
statewide systems and numerous others supporting individual
agencies.
SIGMA today is used by nearly 50,000 public employees and
200,000 vendors and payees doing business with the state. On a
monthly basis, SIGMA issues over 600,000 on-time payments totalling
over $5.2 billion dollars.
"Our partnership with the State of
Michigan continues to enhance and strengthen a system that
is providing unprecedented levels of transparency and
accountability for state business operations," said Tim Hurlebaus, CGI President of U.S. Commercial
and State Government Operations. "We are proud to support the
ongoing digital transformation of Michigan's budgeting, financial and
procurement systems in support of a 21st-century, citizen-centric
government."
