Canada's largest
municipally-owned electric utility awards additional project
following recent win for best customer information system
implementation
TORONTO, Sept. 25, 2017 /PRNewswire/ - CGI (TSX: GIB.A)
(NYSE: GIB) has signed a master services agreement (MSA) with
Alectra Utilities, North America's
second-largest municipally-owned electric utility that serves
nearly one million customers in Ontario's Greater Golden Horseshoe Area and
provides innovative energy solutions to these and thousands more
across Ontario. The MSA
encompasses services that will help the organization align and
transform its IT and business operations following the recent
merger of PowerStream, Enersource, Horizon Utilities and Brampton
Hydro.
The MSA supports a large transformational project that will
result in a single, digital customer information system (CIS). CGI
is providing business transformation consulting, assembling
best-fit partners as well as providing overall project governance
and systems integration services.
"We count on CGI to contribute business transformation
expertise, assemble the right partners and provide the governance
needed to ensure that our IT systems enable Alectra's objective to
bring innovative energy solutions to Greater Golden Horseshoe
families and businesses", said Brian
Bentz, President and CEO of Alectra. "We are confident that
CGI will deliver the same high-value productivity outcomes on this
project, as they did for one of our predecessor utilities in the
past."
A previous project to implement a scalable, consolidated CIS for
PowerStream was awarded CS Week's Expanding Excellence Awards for
"Best customer information system implementation" in May 2017.
"CGI values its five-year relationship with Alectra and we are
excited to help them in their ongoing efforts to modernize and
transform their services to benefit their customers" said
Mark Boyajian, CGI President, Canada
Operations."
