modernize the justice system
BELFAST,
Northern Ireland, Sept. 23,
2024 /PRNewswire/ - CGI (TSX: GIB.A) (NYSE:
GIB), one of the largest independent IT and business consulting
services firms in the world, has been selected by the Department of
Justice, Northern Ireland Courts and Tribunals Service (NICTS) as
the delivery partner for its flagship business transformation
program, Themis. The 20-year contract, valued at £85 million and
led by the CGI team in Belfast,
underscores CGI's pivotal role in modernizing the justice system,
enhancing efficiency, and improving access to justice services
across Northern Ireland.
The Themis Program represents a significant step forward in
the NICTS's Service Modernisation Program. By redesigning
court processes around the stakeholder, Themis will transform
services and administrative processes across Tribunals, Civil,
Family, and Criminal business areas. This ambitious transformation
aims to deliver a digital-first, paper-light environment that will
facilitate greater transparency, faster case delivery, and
increased accessibility through virtual services.
Karen Ward, Chief Modernization
Officer at NICTS, highlighted the program's importance, stating,
"The Themis Program is our cornerstone for wholescale
transformation. This project will enable us to deliver improved
services and enhance how we operate, with a new IT solution
incrementally replacing legacy systems. The far-reaching changes
will benefit not only staff and the judiciary, but also the public,
legal profession, NICTS Departments, and other justice partners,
offering them direct online access to better designed services that
meet their needs."
As the delivery partner, CGI will collaborate closely with the
existing Themis team to implement a five-year roadmap designed to
revolutionize service delivery. The transformative nature of this
project is expected to drive significant efficiencies, improve
service outcomes, and set a new standard in digital justice
solutions.
Chris Shorthouse, Vice President
- Client Engagement for Scotland
& Northern Ireland at CGI,
commented, "CGI is honored to be selected as the delivery partner
for the Themis Program. This project marks a major advancement in
the modernization of Northern
Ireland's justice system, ensuring it meets the evolving
needs of all stakeholders. Our team in Belfast is proud to contribute to a program
that will not only impact the present but also lay the foundation
for future innovation, including the adoption of emerging
technologies."
CGI's role in this transformation is part of a broader
commitment to modernizing the UK justice system, a mission the
company has supported for over 20 years. Additionally, CGI's
Digital Services Centre of Excellence in Belfast, established in February 2023, further strengthens CGI's capacity
