SOFTWARE INTEGRATION SERVICES
Custom Software Development
Today's
fast-paced businesses constantly demand new applications. Whether to catch up,
to address a new business direction, or to get an edge on the competition, unique
applications that carry company's fingerprint are critical. And an application
that delivers a true business advantage--one not easily replicated by the competitors--requires
software that is tailored to fit their environment and strategy.
CGI will help them determine the best approach
to their new application. This may be a customized commercial package or a complete
system built from scratch. Then we will put a full development team to manage
and implement their project or provide them with the supplemental staff needed
to complete their in-house resources.
Software Support Services
Most companies
have a significant investment in existing application software. With them, maintenance,
enhancement and support of these systems consume a large amount of staff time.
Can they reduce the cost of maintenance, extend the life of critical systems,
make applications easier to maintain, and free up experienced technical staff
for other projects?
With CGI's help, the answer to these questions
is "yes". We will help them modify applications to conform to emerging standards
like IBM's Systems Application Architecture. We will provide people to help
them perform maintenance, establish measures for managing service levels, optimize
their database environment, or establish a user hotline center.
Technology Migration
New technology creates
opportunity for improved systems and services. But companies have invested a
lot in their current hardware, software, and training. How can they move to
a new hardware platform, take advantage of relational database technology, or
implement other projects that lead to measurable improvements.
CGI will provide a solution that transitions
them from old to new with minimum disruption and maximum protection of their
current investment. We'll deliver either a complete transition or an environment
where the old and new technologies coexist. And we'll give them something else
that's very much in demand--a predictable project completion date and budget.
User Support Services
In most
large businesses today the PC is the primary window into corporate data, as
well as the primary information tool for professional staff. PC users, spread
through the entire organization, have created a new challenge for the delivery
and management of information.
CGI can help you meet this challenge and the
most out of PC hardware and software investment. We've pioneered a new user
service concept called the "PC Solution Center." A PC Solution Center provides
a single point of contact for PC users who need help running their PC's; using
software; developing new applications; accessing corporate or public database;
upgrading hardware; selecting and installing software packages; installing or
connecting to local area networks; or any other problems associated with the
PC environment.
