TORONTO – Plexxus, and CGI Group
Inc. have announced the signing of a five-year (68 month), $33.6 million
agreement. Under this agreement, CGI will support Plexxus in the design,
build, implementation and management of on-going IT services, including
SAP supply chain and finance systems for Plexxus, a not-for-profit
organization and its 12-member hospitals.
“Plexxus selected CGI because we believe they have the flexibility and
industry experience we require,” said David Yundt, President and CEO,
Plexxus. “As we move forward, we’re confident that CGI will provide us
with cost effective, reliable and agile IT services that will help
enable us to achieve our business objectives.”
Plexxus’ mandate is to provide business support solutions to its member
healthcare organizations that improve service levels and maximize
non-clinical efficiencies, resulting in savings that can be reinvested
in direct patient care. In choosing CGI to support development and
operation of its SAP shared service solution, Plexxus will transform
supply chain and transactional finance services for its members.
“From the outset, CGI was conscious that Plexxus requires a complete
financial and supply chain management system that allows its member
hospitals greater control over purchasing power and cost management
through a shared system,” said Doug McCuaig, President, Canada, CGI.
CGI provides a full suite of health IT solutions that reduce operating
costs, advance the quality of care, and promote health with an emphasis
on shared services tailored to the healthcare sector, electronic health
records (EHR), health information exchange (HIE), chronic disease
management (CDM), quality initiatives and operational efficiency
improvements. As a trusted health IT services partner, governments,
