CGI SECURES 10-YEAR CONTRACT EXTENSION WITH COLORADO PARKS AND WILDLIFE

CGI Inc. has won a 10-year contract extension with Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW). The continuing partnership underscores CGI's commitment to supporting CPW's mission through advanced performance budgeting and transformed operational solutions.

"Performance budgeting has been instrumental in allowing CPW to manage its financial resources," said Chuck Brown, Colorado Parks and Wildlife Budget and policy analyst. "CGI's continued support will deliver the tools and insights needed to optimize our budgeting processes, ensure financial compliance, and sustain our commitment to the state's conservation and recreational goals."

Under this extended contract, CGI will continue providing its innovative, cloud-based CGI Advantage Performance Budgeting (PB) solution with enhancements, including advanced analytics and reporting capabilities, comprehensive testing tools to ensure system reliability, outcomes and performance, and improved data visualization and reporting. CGI will also deliver expert testing as a service (TaaS) to support improved quality assurance and system integrity.

The integration of these solutions with CGI Advantage Financial Management will enhance CPW's business intelligence, enabling the alignment of performance budget forecasts with actuals, and ensuring rigorous tracking of compliance on awards and grants. This comprehensive approach supports CPW's objective of achieving financial sustainability and operational efficiency. Furthermore, the system will seamlessly integrate with the state's financial application, Colorado Operations Resource Engine (CORE), ensuring continuous operations on a trusted platform.

In addition to these technological advancements, CGI's partnership with CPW has also featured significant community engagement. Over the years, CGI has participated in 10 community volunteer events with CPW, including three Earth Day celebrations. These events, held two to three times annually, bring together volunteers from each organization and highlight the collaborative spirit and a shared commitment to community service.

"CGI is committed to driving the success of CPW's vital work in preserving Colorado's natural resources and fostering community involvement," said John Manta, senior vice-president of CGI's Midwest operations. "Our commitment to continuous innovation, coupled with our active involvement in community service, reflects our dedication to supporting CPW's mission and making a positive impact in the communities we call home."

Colorado Parks and Wildlife, a state agency managing 43 state parks and over 350 wildlife areas, relies heavily on diverse financing sources. More than 90 per cent of its budget comes from non-tax revenues, including hunting and fishing licence sales, park passes and fees, registration fees, and federal excise taxes on hunting and fishing gear.
