PRESS RELEASE

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

The Commonwealth of Kentucky to deploy CGI-AMS Web-based ERP solution

 

Kentucky becomes the ninth state government to select AMS Advantage® 3

 

Fairfax, Virginia –June 13, 2005 –CGI-AMS Inc., the wholly-owned U.S. operating subsidiary of CGI Group Inc. (CGI) (TSX: GIB.SV.A; NYSE: GIB), announced today that AMS Advantage 3 has been selected by the Commonwealth of Kentucky, adding another state government to a rapidly growing list of public sector clients implementing this market leading Enterprise Resource Planning solution.

 

AMS Advantage 3 is a Web-based suite specifically designed for governments to effectively and efficiently manage real-time financial transactions and business intelligence—saving state and local governments as well as citizens both time and money.

 

The Commonwealth of Kentucky has been a CGI-AMS client since 1998 and will implement AMS Advantage 3 Financial Management and Procurement in a statewide deployment beginning July 2006.  The selection of the CGI-AMS Web-based solution will enhance the Commonwealth’s enterprise business processes and provide innovative technologies to manage the state’s $21.4 billion annual budget and run its complex procurement processes, which each year encompass more than 3,000 online solicitations for goods and services, collects over $100 million in payments, including $16 million in credit card and e-check transactions, and initiates nearly 10 million payments. 

 

The upgrade of Kentucky’s Management Administrative Reporting System, or eMARS, is an important step in the Commonwealth’s implementation of an integrated financial management and procurement solution.  When completed, eMARS will provide over 5,000 users Web-based access to a state-of-the-art, integrated information system to help further enterprise goals, including reducing duplicate data entry, providing online access to information, and enabling electronic workflow and approvals. 

 

“Nearly half of all US state governments are using AMS Advantage. Since 1976, CGI-AMS has collaborated with its partners in state government to ramp up efficiency, streamline operations and deliver critical services to citizens and employees. The message is clear – CGI-AMS delivers the best Web-based ERP solution available today. We are pleased to welcome Kentucky into the AMS Advantage 3 family,” said Donna Morea, president CGI-AMS.

 

 

More than 190 state and local governments use AMS Advantage, including 21 states. Of these, 45 organizations have already committed to implementing the new Web-based AMS Advantage solution. The AMS Advantage suite, with embedded government best practices, is tailored to meet the unique administrative needs of state and local public sector entities and incorporates more than 30 years of government experience and knowledge in the public sector market. AMS Advantage is a flexible, module-based solution that automates document workflow, decreases paperwork and ultimately improves customer service and facilitates decision-making.
