Consolidated Afloat Network Enterprise Services (CANES)
multi-award contract vehicle includes an initial delivery order for
one system while allowing CGI to compete for additional
projects
CHARLESTON, SC, Jan. 12, 2015 /CNW/ - CGI Federal, a wholly owned
U.S. operating subsidiary of CGI Group Inc., (NYSE : GIB)
(TSX : GIB.A) was awarded an
indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (ID/IQ), contract for
delivery of management and enterprise IT services in a single,
integrated network for U.S. Navy ships. The contract allows
CGI to compete for individual delivery orders over the fixed
eight-year term.
CANES will deliver next generation integrated network support to
the fleet using commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware and
software, while consolidating five legacy networks into one.
It is designed to deliver standardization and increased
interoperability across the fleet, with increased security.
CANES delivers its capabilities within a single complete system,
establishing the necessary infrastructure that will enable timely
information exchange among tactical, support and administrative
users, applications and information technology platforms. The new
system will both increase operational effectiveness and
improve the 'on-board' quality of life for Sailors.
"CGI brings a depth of real-world experience to CANES as a
result of supporting Navy customers for decades," said Timothy J. Hurlebaus, Senior Vice-President, CGI
Federal. "We welcome the opportunity to deliver for the Navy on
this visible, mission-critical program."
