FAIRFAX,
Va., Oct. 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- CGI (NYSE:
GIB) (TSX: GIB.A), one of the largest independent IT and business
consulting services firms in the world, today announced the
award of a contract by Anne Arundel
County Public Schools (AACPS) in Maryland. The school's enterprise resource
planning (ERP) system will be updated with the latest version of
CGI Advantage®, a proven solution that delivers
efficient financial operations, automates budget processes,
streamlines human resource management, and simplifies vendor
engagement. CGI will extend a decades-long collaboration with the
school system to transition an on-premise ERP system to the
cloud.
"CGI's consultants and experts continue to serve as trusted
advisors as we undertake this ongoing journey to realize our vision
for the role of technology in the service of the county's
educators, students and communities," said AACPS CIO Mike Borkoski.
"CGI technology will also continue to play an instrumental role in
helping us reach the goals outlined in our Blueprint for
Maryland's Future, which includes
a commitment to strengthen governance and accountability through
data-driven tools and insights and reduce technical debt by
limiting infrastructure maintenance and staying current with
software and security updates."
For AACPS, a school system with more than 6,000 employees, CGI
Advantage will facilitate resource planning and management
through flexible, secure, SaaS-enabled technology. With a
mobile-first design and simplified and intuitive user experience,
CGI Advantage has been implemented more than 500 times by public
sector organizations nationwide, resulting in reduced risk and
streamlined operations for state and local governments and school
districts.
"With CGI Advantage, AACPS will benefit from a roadmap of
integrations and improved workflows, configurations folded into the
modernization effort, and enhanced human resource reporting and
onboarding," said Surabhi
Subramanyam, Senior Vice-President, State & Local
Government Solutions, CGI. "At the same time, we will deploy
solutions that improve the user experience, increase operational
efficiencies, and allow access to continuous product updates
avoiding repeated costly technology investments."
Across the country, CGI technology is deployed by organizations
like AACPS to optimize limited government resources that are facing
personnel shortages and a wave of retirements. By automating

entities that modernize ERP systems often see measurable
improvements in operational effectiveness, allowing them to focus
their workforces on high-value, strategic activities.
