REXEL : CGI RINNOVA IL RAPPORTO DI OUTSOURCING DI LUNGA DATA CHE LA LEGA AL GRUPPO REXEL
CGI Group Inc. (TSX: GIB.A; NYSE: GIB), leader nella fornitura di servizi IT e di business processing, ha annunciato oggi la firma di un contratto di outsourcing IT di 6 anni (per un valore di 50 milioni di dollari) con il gruppo francese Rexel, leader mondiale dell'elettrofornitura, che ha sede a Parigi.
Paris,
(informazione.news - comunicati stampa - elettronica)
Il nuovo contratto, che sosterrà gli sforzi di miglioramento della produttività di Rexel, colloca CGI tra i fornitori IT preferenziali di Rexel non solo in Canada, ma anche negli Stati Uniti. Il contratto estende uno dei più lunghi rapporti di outsourcing di CGI. Nel 1997, CGI ha stipulato un contratto con Westburne Industrial Enterprises Ltd., la quale è stata acquisita da Rexel Canada nel settembre 2000.
"CGI has been a long-time partner for our Canadian operations, and has consistently delivered services of outstanding quality," said Olivier Baldassari, Global CIO, Rexel Group. "This agreement with CGI is a stepping-stone in our global plan for greater consolidation and will bring increased efficiencies to our North American business."
CGI professionals will provide Rexel Group's North American operations with a broad range of professional services including primarily technology infrastructure management, and some application maintenance and support, as well as some consulting and system integration services such as support of Rexel's mission-critical ERP and business intelligence applications in Canada.
An E 11.3 billion company, Rexel Group's overall growth strategy is to bolster its position in its key markets and consolidate its leadership in the distribution of electrical supplies while fostering proximity with customers worldwide.
"We're very proud to work with a global leader like Rexel, and we're thrilled to see our relationship grow to include Rexel's US operations." said Doug McCuaig, CGI's Canadian President. "Going forward, we plan to leverage our comprehensive global portfolio of services to further assist Rexel in advancing their market position."
CGI helps wholesale and distribution companies build, implement and manage the complex business and IT strategies critical to succeeding in today's marketplace. CGI's comprehensive professional services transform operations in areas such as enterprise resource planning, supply chain management, transportation and logistics, and order management. From individual projects that deliver specific transformation to full transformative outsourcing services in areas such as technology and applications hosting and call center support, CGI's distribution and retail expertise and flexible global delivery model allow clients to adapt, win and grow.
