The company responsible for the digital disaster of Obamacare is a Canadian outfit called CGI which, as Lydia DePillis of the Washington Post explains:
… stands for “Conseillers en Gestion et Informatique” in French, which roughly translates to “Information Systems and Management Consultants”
And if you like its work, so far, then good news. There’s more coming.
CGI Federal now has an $8 billion pipeline of future task orders — doubling its federal business over the period of a year — including big-ticket items such as $871 million for the Defense Information Services Agency, a $143 million contract to do visa processing in China, and a five-year, “indefinite quantity” contract for the Department of Homeland Security and Coast Guard. (It’s also working with state governments too — California, for example, handed it a $399 million contract to revamp its tax processing system).
Taking the concept of “upward failure,” to ever greater heights.
