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
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."
