US Environmental Protection Agency Awards CGI Federal $83 million Financial System Modernization Project

FAIRFAX, VA - CGI Federal, Inc. announced that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) confirmed its original award to CGI as the financial management shared service provider (SSP) for EPA's Financial System Modernization Project (FSMP). The 10-year deal, valued at US$83 million, modernizes EPA's financial system using CGI's commercial off the shelf Momentum(R) software, and transitions EPA's financial system IT hosting and application management to CGI. CGI was originally selected for the FSMP award in February of 2007. The selection of CGI was upheld after resolution of a protest by IBM that was filed against the initial award.

"EPA has been a CGI client for over 30 years. As a recognized leader in delivering managed services for government and commercial customers, we look forward to continuing service to EPA as their financial systems provider," said Donna Morea, President of CGI's U.S. operations. "This award is testament to CGI's commitment to service delivery excellence and validates our strategy of delivering the full spectrum of managed services across technology management, application management, systems integration and consulting and business process services to the federal government."

EPA's FSMP award to CGI culminates the first large-scale financial system procurement conducted by a CFO Act federal agency under the Financial Management Line of Business (FMLoB) initiative. It is the first time a federal agency has conducted a full and open FMLoB competition across both public and private sector shared service providers, holding them to the same standards in offer evaluation. CGI, bidding its commercial off the shelf Momentum software, was selected over both private and public sector SSPs. EPA joins the General Services Administration (GSA), the Administrative Office for the U.S. Courts (AOUSC), and the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) in awarding financial system shared services contracts to CGI. All three clients are currently using Momentum hosted with CGI.

"To meet EPA's operational business needs, CGI continues to provide innovative solutions as a recognized leader in managed services," said George Schindler, President, CGI Federal. "Our selection confirms CGI and Momentum as the market leading FMLoB solution that best enables agencies to improve mission support, comply with federal accounting and system standards, and modernize on a large-scale with the greatest efficiency and lowest risk."
