SAN DIEGO COUNTY MODERNIZES BUDGETING WITH CLOUD-BASED CGI ADVANTAGE(TM)

San Diego County, California, has launched CGI Inc.'s CGI Advantage cloud-based performance budgeting solution. This upgrade builds on the county's existing system that leverages CGI Advantage Insight, TestSavvy and CGI Advantage Academy to deliver a robust and secure end-to-end budgeting platform that aligns with the county's strategic priorities.

The county's move from an on-premises system to CGI Advantage in the cloud represents a key milestone in its broader modernization strategy. The transition simplifies updates and feature modifications, with the aim of enhancing the user experience. The upgrade also reduces operational costs, improves system functionality, and strengthens the county's security and compliance posture.

"Our partnership with CGI continues to guide us on our journey to modernize the county's budgeting processes," said Damien Quinn, financial policy and planning director, office of financial planning, at San Diego County. "By moving to a cloud-based solution, the county not only enhances its budgeting capabilities but also creates a foundation for future growth and innovation."

Key benefits of the transition include migration to a SaaS (software-as-a-service) model leveraging the new analytics-first paradigm of CGI Advantage, enabling county analysts to access critical information in real time. As part of the initiative, CGI is also helping the county convert legacy reports to CGI Advantage Insight, a step that will modernize reporting and improve decision-making.

Enhanced user support will be provided through the CGI Advantage Academy, ensuring that employees can fully utilize the platform's capabilities, while automated testing via TestSavvy will streamline the update process and enhance system reliability. The CGI Advantage platform, widely recognized for its flexibility and security, enables the county to achieve a seamless and efficient budgeting process that supports operational excellence and enhances public service delivery.

"Through our deep partnership with the county of San Diego, CGI is delivering modern digital services that enhance operational efficiency and enable smarter, data-driven budgeting decisions," said Joanna Robinson, senior vice-president and business unit leader for United States west operations, CGI. "By combining our cloud and managed services expertise with the CGI Advantage platform, we're helping the county advance its modernization strategy and deliver improved outcomes for its community. This upgrade reaffirms our commitment to supporting the county's modernization goals and aligns with CGI's mission to empower public sector clients through innovative technology."
