Energy and water owners are entering a capital investment cycle of unprecedented scale, from grid expansion and new generation capacity to the renewal of aging water infrastructure. Delivering one project at a time is no longer enough. Owners need to govern their capital programs as connected portfolios, with shared data, standardized delivery and continuity from engineering into operations.

Drawing on decades of experience in oil and gas, electric and gas utilities and water, CGI helps owners bring consistent governance, trusted engineering and project data, and IT/OT integration to their capital programs, from portfolio planning and project controls through handover into operations and managed services.

The IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Digital Service Providers for Large Capital Projects in Energy and Water 2026 Vendor Assessment (doc #US54141926, November 2026) evaluates digital service providers that help energy and water companies plan, manage and optimize large capital project portfolios. The global assessment provides owners with a framework to identify partners across capital portfolio planning, project controls, engineering data and digital continuity, IT/OT integration, advanced analytics, AI and digital twins, and managed services.

Using a rigorous evaluation model, the report highlights the key success factors shaping how energy and water owners will govern and deliver capital programs, both in the near and long term.

In its assessment of CGI, IDC states:

“Consider CGI when a capital program spans multiple business units or geographies and needs consistent governance imposed across previously fragmented or decentralized digital initiatives, particularly in asset-intensive oil and gas or electric and gas utility environments requiring deep OT integration and hands-on field engineering support rather than pure back-office systems integration.”

"Energy and water owners are being asked to deliver more capital, faster, with constrained resources. That takes more than new tools: it takes one consistent way of governing every program, and data that flows from engineering all the way into operations. We see this recognition from IDC as a reflection of the trust our clients place in CGI teams who work alongside them, often for decades, to deliver those outcomes."
