CGI signed a new application management services contract with the Ministry of Health, which, extends CGI’s relationship with the Ministry of Health to 2020.

Under the new contract, CGI will manage a large portfolio of Ministry of Health applications, tools, technologies, websites, web-related services and other IT solutions, as well as associated servers, including mainframe and web-based servers. CGI will keep the systems within the portfolio operational, optimized, secure and serving their purposes, while carrying out ongoing portfolio planning activities and identifying opportunities for transformation where appropriate.
