Case Study: Conexus Credit Union achieves seamless core banking conversion with CGI and Ovation

Conexus Credit Union completes merger conversion on time with CGI

Conexus Credit Union, a major financial institution in Saskatchewan, faced the challenge of needing to migrate from a shared banking system to gain operational independence and prepare for future growth and Y2K. To achieve this, they selected the Ovation core banking system and chose CGI as their system integrator and facilities management partner.

CGI successfully implemented the Ovation system, which went live in 1998. The solution provided the stability and flexibility Conexus needed, enabling them to easily introduce new products and services. Following a major merger, CGI managed the complex migration of four additional credit unions onto the Ovation platform on time and on budget. This partnership allowed Conexus to grow significantly, becoming the sixth largest credit union in Canada, and CGI continues to provide essential IT outsourcing services, ensuring dependable operations.
