CGI awarded 6 year, €250 million
managed services contract
MUNICH, March 11, 2021 /CNW Telbec/ - CGI (NYSE: GIB)
(TSX: GIB.A) has been awarded a contract by the Bavarian State
Ministry of Justice to help the ministry better serve its citizens
through digitization and innovation management. Under the six-year
managed IT services contract valued at 250
million euros, CGI will help evolve the ministry's IT
infrastructure and services at 220 locations across Bavaria.
Digitization is a key strategic priority for the government of
Bavaria now and in the years ahead. In line with this, the Bavarian
State Ministry of Justice is relying on CGI's managed IT services
to advance its IT modernization and the digitization of its
business and IT workflows, among other things.
Work on this new engagement began at the start of 2021. It
involves assuming responsibility for the ministry's IT operational
services, which include domain, infrastructure, user support,
unified communications, media technology, and project and
consulting services for Bavarian courts and public prosecutors'
offices. As part of this effort, CGI will manage two data
centers—one in Munich and another
in Nuremberg—and approximately 220 locations across Bavaria with
16,500 workstations.
CGI also will play a key role in driving the ministry's
digitization and innovation management by, for example, equipping
all meeting rooms with digital media technology and replacing
traditional telephony with unified communications. It also will
manage projects related to the introduction of electronic legal
transactions and electronic files.
"CGI's use of innovation frameworks drives value creation in a
digital world," said Ralf Bauer,
Senior Vice President of CGI in Germany Central & South. "This innovation
approach combined with our managed IT services creates an
attractive operating model for organizations, especially within the
public sector. Many organizations are experiencing significant
budget pressure on the one hand, but also need to accelerate
digital transformation on the other. CGI has a deep understanding
of public sector requirements through the successful completion of
countless projects with public authorities and ministries. We are a
market leader worldwide and, likewise in Germany, with judicial authorities. We look
forward to providing the Bavarian State Ministry of Justice with
end-to-end services that simplify and digitize its business and IT
processes, enabling the digital administration and optimization of
its citizen services."
