Enterprise and government leaders are under increasing pressure to prove AI ROI now. Not in pilots, but in live operations. Rising costs, market volatility, skills shortages and regulatory complexity are forcing organizations to move beyond experimentation and embed AI directly into the workflows that run the business.

The organizations that succeed will operationalize AI securely and responsibly, turning efficiency gains into measurable outcomes that fund modernization and create sustained operational advantage.

How CGI and Google Cloud operationalize AI end-to-end

We work with Google Cloud to help organizations move from isolated or tool-first AI initiatives to enterprise-scale adoption by embedding generative and agentic AI directly into operational workflows.

Our joint capabilities include:

  • Designing and engineering cloud-native platforms on Google Cloud that support secure, scalable AI adoption across the enterprise
  • Deploying generative and agentic AI to automate decisions, orchestrate workflows and augment teams, moving beyond content generation to action and execution
  • Modernizing applications and data foundations without disrupting mission-critical services or regulatory compliance
  • Operating and optimizing environments through AI-enabled managed services, ensuring performance, security and continuous improvement over time

What outcomes leaders achieve with operational AI

Across industries, leaders turn to CGI and Google Cloud to:

  • Improve productivity and reduce operating costs by replacing manual, fragmented processes with AI-enabled operational workflows
  • Accelerate time-to-market for new products, services and digital capabilities
  • Unlock value from enterprise data using secure, cloud-native and AI-driven platforms
  • Modernize legacy systems while maintaining continuity, resilience and compliance
  • Deploy AI responsibly in regulated, safety-critical and mission-critical environments

Our focus is not experimentation. It is operational value, measured, governed and sustained.

Our approach: AI embedded across the full lifecycle

 

We embed Google Cloud capabilities across the entire AI and cloud lifecycle—strategy, build and operate—to ensure AI delivers sustained operational value.

  • Advisory and strategy aligned to business and mission outcomes
  • Engineering and implementation of cloud, data and AI solutions
  • AI-enabled managed services that ensure reliability, security and continuous optimization

By embedding AI into real operational workflows—and operating it over time—we help organizations transition from pilots to scalable, governed adoption that delivers repeatable ROI.

Proof in action: Operational AI and cloud in real enterprise environments

CGI and Google deliver AI and cloud solutions where value is created—in live, complex and mission-critical operations. These examples show how operational AI delivers value across cost reduction, service resilience, safety and data modernization:

AI embedded in safety-critical production environments

In a global industrial production environment, we designed and implemented a generative AI–powered safety awareness solution on Google Cloud to replace static, generic training with real-time, role-specific guidance. By integrating accident data, near-miss records, and safety procedures into a secure conversational interface, frontline employees receive context-aware, multilingual safety information directly aligned to their role and environment, establishing a scalable AI foundation for safety-critical use cases.

Immediate ROI from AI-driven operational automation

In a high-volume retail operations context, we delivered a turnkey AI solution on Google Cloud to automate after-sales document processing. Using AI-based image recognition and natural language processing, the solution processes more than 135,000 documents annually, dramatically reducing operating costs, improving efficiency and enabling business and IT teams to regain ownership of a critical operational process while creating reusable AI components for future use cases.

Secure, sovereign data modernization to enable AI readiness

For a large, regulated insurance and social protection organization, we modernized a mission-critical data platform using Google Cloud technologies aligned to strict security, sovereignty and regulatory requirements. By replatforming to a cloud-native, Zero Trust architecture and establishing modern data governance practices, the organization achieved 24/7 availability, improved agility for business teams and created a secure foundation ready for future AI and advanced analytics adoption.

Industrialized cloud modernization at enterprise scale

In a large transportation and infrastructure environment facing end-of-life risk across hundreds of applications, CGI partnered with the client and Google Cloud to industrialize large-scale re-hosting. Using automated migration frameworks, DevOps practices, and Infrastructure-as-Code, the program modernized a substantial application estate while establishing standardized, repeatable cloud operations and laying the groundwork for lower total cost of ownership and scalable growth.

 

 

Move from AI experimentation to operational impact

AI creates value only when it is embedded into real operations, not treated as an add-on—designed, built and operated to drive sustained business impact. Together with Google Cloud, we help organizations turn cloud and AI investments into measurable productivity, efficiency and modernization outcomes, securely and at scale.
