Consolidated Afloat Network Enterprise Services (CANES)
multi-award contract vehicle includes an initial delivery order for
one system while allowing CGI to compete

for additional projects

CGI Federal, a wholly owned U.S. operating subsidiary of CGI Group
Inc., was awarded an indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity
(ID/IQ), contract for delivery of management and enterprise IT
services in a single, integrated network for U.S. Navy ships. The
contract allows CGI to compete for individual delivery orders over
the fixed eight-year term.

CANES will deliver next generation integrated network support to
the fleet using commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware and
software, while consolidating five legacy networks into one. It is
designed to deliver standardization and increased interoperability
across the fleet, with increased security. CANES delivers its
capabilities within a single complete system, establishing the
necessary infrastructure that will enable timely information exchange
among tactical, support and administrative users, applications and
information technology platforms. The new system will both increase
operational effectiveness and improve the 'on-board' quality of life
for Sailors.

"CGI brings a depth of real-world experience to CANES as a result
of supporting Navy customers for decades," said Timothy J. Hurlebaus,
Senior Vice-President, CGI Federal. "We welcome the opportunity to
deliver for the Navy on this visible, mission-critical program."
