CGI Rides on Expanding Federal Clientele

The company’s wholly-owned U.S.-subsidiary CGI Federal recently clinched a pivotal contract with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services aimed at enhancing Medicare access for more than 65 million beneficiaries nationwide.

Under the agreement, CGI will revamp the Health Plan Management System, a critical component facilitating Medicare Advantage and Medicare Part D programs. The contract, valued at approximately $72 million, spans a base period of one year with the potential for four additional one-year option periods.

The company’s expanding federal customer base is noteworthy. It recently won a contract from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to deliver a financial management solution through CGI Advantage, a cloud-based platform that integrates financial data in a modern, unified platform. The State of Utah also selected its CGI Advantage for the modernization of its human capital management solution.

CGI’s expanding international footprint has been a key catalyst. It is strengthening its international footprint with the recently announced partnership with Market Operator Services Ltd (“MOSL”).

Valued at $18.7 million (£11.5 million), this collaboration underscores a commitment to enhancing core platforms like MOSL’s Central Market Operating System and the centralized bilateral transactions ‘hub.’

LocalTapiola, one of the largest insurance and financial services companies in Finland, recently extended its long-term strategic partnership with GIB for an additional five years.

GIB’s strong partner base, which includes Alphabet, Microsoft and Amazon, has been a key catalyst.
