CGI Achieves Premier Tier and SAP Competency Status for Enhanced Cloud Solutions
In a significant milestone, CGI Inc., a leading independent IT and business consulting services firm, has achieved the prestigious status of AWS Premier Tier Services Partner and SAP Competency Partner. This recognition marks CGI as a key player in the AWS Partner Network, demonstrating its high level of expertise and successful track record in managing client workloads on AWS.
The Premier Tier designation is a mark of excellence, reserved for firms that exhibit deep technical knowledge and a history of successful deployments on the AWS platform. This achievement particularly underscores CGI's ability to modernize mission-critical SAP workloads through AI-integrated cloud solutions. Achieving both the AWS Premier Tier and SAP Competency Partner status is a testament to CGI's long-established commitment to delivering business value through innovative, secure, and scalable solutions.
Tim Hurlebaus, President and COO of CGI, expressed pride in these accomplishments, stating, "Achieving AWS Premier Tier and SAP Competency Partner status recognizes CGI's deep expertise in AI and secure cloud, as well as our long-standing commitment to delivering business value for clients through modern, secure, and scalable solutions."
