Suffolk County, New York, successfully upgrades financial management system with CGI Advantage®
NEW YORK, April 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- CGI (NYSE: GIB) (TSX: GIB.A), one of the world's largest independent technology and professional services firms, today announced the successful cloud migration and upgrade of Suffolk County, New York's financial management system, marking a significant milestone in the County's ongoing digital modernization journey. Delivered on time and on budget, the project represents a key step toward greater fiscal transparency, security and operational efficiency for one of the state's largest counties.
In partnership with the Suffolk County Comptroller and County Executive's Office, CGI upgraded its CGI Advantage® platform to modernize the County's enterprise resource planning (ERP) financial management system. The upgrade delivers measurable outcomes, including faster financial processing, improved data accuracy and reporting, and a more resilient platform that ensures continuity of operations and long-term system reliability.
"This cloud migration is more than just an IT upgrade – it's a foundation for the transparent, modern government that Suffolk County taxpayers deserve," said Suffolk County Comptroller John M. Kennedy, Jr. "By leveraging CGI Advantage and the dedication of our internal teams, we delivered this major project on time and on budget while safeguarding public funds and strengthening cybersecurity."
The implementation of CGI Advantage provides Suffolk County with a secure, enterprise-grade cloud platform that enables automatic updates, improved data security and faster financial transactions. CGI manages the behind-the-scenes operations, enabling the County to focus on innovation, enhanced digital experiences and ongoing improvement.
The success of the project was bolstered by a large-scale training initiative led in partnership with Suffolk County Community College (SCCC). Hundreds of County employees were trained on the most advanced CGI Advantage platform, ensuring a seamless transition and equipping the workforce with the skills needed to effectively operate the upgraded system.
With the successful cloud migration complete, Suffolk County advances toward a unified, real-time view of county finances that strengthens fiscal accountability and public trust. The new CGI Advantage Cloud platform will serve as the foundation for future phases of modernization, integrating additional financial and administrative functions over time.
"Suffolk County is advancing its digital transformation through CGI Advantage Cloud," said James Titus, Vice-President, Consulting Services in CGI's U.S. East operations. "This successful implementation underscores how modern, cloud-based ERP systems can help governments increase transparency, strengthen security and deliver measurable results for the people they serve."
