West Virginia launches CARES Act grant portal in just over a week with CGI

The state of West Virginia faced the urgent challenge of rapidly distributing CARES Act relief funds to over 300 local governments. They needed a solution to launch a grant application portal immediately, but also required robust, long-term grant management functionality beyond what niche offerings provided. The state turned to its existing technology partner, CGI, to utilize the grant lifecycle management capabilities within their CGI Advantage ERP system.

CGI delivered an end-to-end solution, committing to an aggressive timeline. They set up a fully configurable grant application portal in just 10 days, allowing West Virginia to begin receiving applications in little over a week. The solution enabled rapid government mobilization, meeting federal requirements while setting the stage for future digitized grant management. CGI continues to roll out additional functionality, demonstrating a successful partnership in addressing a critical pandemic-era need.
