CGI Accelerate: Achieve quick, efficient upgrades

Taking advantage of new software, rich in new features that drive business improvements, requires efficiently managed implementations that are guided by experience and best practices to avoid any disruptions to the critical business of government.

CGI Accelerate provides a high quality, flexible, efficient and reusable framework that accelerates the IT implementation or upgrade process. The practice includes quality, time-saving services and deliverables to help build, test and deliver a custom solution. Capitalizing on these standards and methodologies helps streamline your software release implementation. CGI Accelerate benefits include:

• Compressed implementation timeframes and reduced spending
• Improved quality and reliability
• Access to new application features and functionality
• More efficient, outcome oriented testing; verified against client data
• Validated and reusable custom executables and products
• Leverage of CGI's best practices and methodologies
• Reallocate staff to other critical implementation activities

Efficient and flexible approach

CGI Accelerate provides a set of implementation services and deliverables that can be specifically designed to fit your project’s needs. The service takes advantage of CGI’s proven implementation and upgrade best practices and tools, such as automated testing, defect management and Program Management Office support.

The result is a faster, more efficient delivery method, allowing you to focus more on downstream project activities, such as go-live readiness and cutover preparation, and less on installation, setup and core testing.

CGI Accelerate results

The following are core principles that drive successful results via CGI Accelerate:

• Efficient, outcome-oriented testing: efficient, focused, and proven automated testing methodologies that are reliable, consistent, reusable, and can be executed in parallel, allowing for a shorter overall implementation/upgrade schedule.
• Integrated, complete delivery package: a fully consolidated set of data upgrade scripts, and merged code base with installation procedures, includes required customizations (if necessary) and patches. Delivery components are fully tested against your data and code, using test scenarios identified by you.
• Expedited delivery process and schedule: customized, consolidated delivery components serve as the starting point for your production implementation. This high-quality, expedited delivery process will reduce spend on your setup and configuration efforts, testing and verification activities, as well as decrease downstream system implementation issues and concerns.
