CGI is pleased to announce the renewal of its application
maintenance services (AMS) contract with the Ministry of Health in
Alberta (Alberta Health) for three years. The original contract was
signed in 2011 for three and a half years, and the high quality work
delivered by CGI under the contract led to the three-year extension.

CGI's collaboration with Alberta Health actually extends back to
2001 and encompasses a range of IT services and projects.

"CGI has consistently delivered high quality services that have
enabled us to achieve our business goals," said Susan Anderson,
Assistant Deputy Minister and CIO for Alberta Health. "The CGI team
has gone the extra mile to ensure our success and acts as an
extension of our own team. Through CGI, Alberta Health has benefited
from exceptional support and continuous improvement."

"Our work with Alberta Health over the past 15 years has resulted
in a partnership based on strong trust and the award of numerous
strategic contracts to CGI," said Shawn Derby, Senior Vice-President
of CGI's Western Business Unit in Canada. "Some of these include the
development of the Alberta Organ Tissue Donor Registry, which
received the ITAC Ingenious Award in 2014, the new eHealth Support
Services contract, several continuous improvement initiatives, and
assistance with two major application migration projects, among
others. We're proud that our support has helped Alberta Health to
perform more effectively and provide better healthcare to the
citizens of Alberta."
