Case Study: CGI achieves competitive advantage and faster time-to-market with OpenText Analytics

CGI Partners with Actuate to Gain Competitive Advantage and Create Rich Internet Applications

CGI, a global IT and business process services provider with $3.5 billion in annual revenue and more than 25,000 employees, needed a modern reporting solution for its Horizon Oil & Gas offering. Its legacy AS400-based reports suffered from formatting and usability problems, undermining sales demos and customer satisfaction.

CGI integrated Actuate’s RIA-ready information platform into Horizon to deliver interactive, brochure-quality, real-time reports (including 150 canned reports) with web-based delivery for SaaS or on-site deployments. The solution sped time to market, gave CGI a visible competitive advantage in sales calls, and increased end-user adoption and customer satisfaction by providing consolidated, easy-to-access reports in multiple formats.
