CGI's approach to providing Cloud Strategy Planning and Architecture guidance follows 4 phases:
1. Envision: We define your high-level strategic vision for the provision, operation and consumption of cloud services. This highlights the key principles that the company aspires to achieve once this strategy has been implemented.
2. Current state & business baseline: where we seek to understand potential risks, existing data-centre strategies, unique issues in your industry or geography, business critical functions, pilot projects, measures of success and so on.
3. Target State: We will work with you to identify upskilling needs as well as your target operating model, which will include:
People - the roles required to enable you to operate on the Public Cloud, including working in a Hybrid model
Processes - the processes you need to adopt, to include how cloud is procured and consumed
Technology - what cloud native technologies will suit your needs, including inbuilt monitoring, resilience requirements and backup features.
4. Plan: The planning stage consists of Governance and security considerations, as well as agreeing KPI's that can be used to measure your progress against the success criteria outlined at the start of the engagement. - Planning service works with specific services

Our four-step approach to defining and developing Cloud Strategy mentioned above defines the prerequisites for a successful cloud migration considering business imperatives and your cloud vision.
Our experts have a proven experience helping clients across all sectors set-up and plan their migration to the cloud and we provide these as part of later phases in the cloud adoption life-cycle. For example as part of designing and delivering Cloud Operating Models and Centre of Excellence designs for our clients, our Technical Advisory practice sets-up new cloud environments and lays the foundations for successful greenfield cloud deployments or cloud migrations to follow.
Please see our Service Description above and others across the Government Digital Marketplace for more information on how CGI can help drive a successful cloud setup and migration for your organisation. - Setup or migration service is for specific cloud services

Equal opportunity
CGI is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We commit to:
• Continuing to measure and reduce our Gender and Ethnicity Pay Gaps
• Publishing our Voluntary Reporting Framework on disability, mental health and wellbeing
• Inclusive and accessible recruitment practices
• Investing in training and progression.
CGI UK is closing its gender and ethnicity pay gaps year-on-year. Our mean gender pay gap is 6.8%, compared to 8% in 2021, surpassing the technology industry’s gender pay gap of 16%. Our mean ethnicity pay gap is 6.9%.
CGI is a Disability Confident Employer. Through recruitment, onboarding and development, we create an environment that enables members with disabilities to flourish. With a strong disability network, accessibility support and leadership commitment, we are determined that the projects we work on benefit from all talents and insights.
We will continue our partnership with Breakthrough, a social enterprise equipping prison leavers with skills to succeed in a long-term career within the technology industry. CGI supports this by hosting skills days at our offices covering mock interviews, presentation skills and public speaking.
Our inclusive and accessible recruitment practices encompass advertising vacancies within specialist communities, providing equal opportunities for underrepresented groups, and accommodating adjustments including additional assessment time and physical adjustments. We will promote our vacancies with communities including myGWork, a networking hub for LGBTQ+ professionals, and Evenbreak, a disability job board.
CGI invests in annual training that aligns with existing and emerging technologies. Our comprehensive learning and development platform provides members with learning pathways leading to certified qualifications. We will encourage rotations and secondments across industry sectors to upskill our members.
We continually review and audit our recruitment and supply chain practices to ensure our Modern Slavery commitment is delivered in practice. We will continue to instruct all CGI UK members to follow our Modern Slavery Policy.Wellbeing
Health and wellbeing are critical to the success of our members and organisation. Therefore, we are committed to fostering a health-focused environment where all members can thrive personally and professionally. However, wellbeing is not an issue exclusively concerning our business; we are equally committed to supporting the wellbeing of the communities in which we operate. We achieve this by:
• Continually investing in programmes for our workforce, including ‘Oxygen’, our wellbeing centre of expertise, our 24/7/365 Member Assistance Programme, physical wellbeing activities and Workplace Adjustments.
• Extending health and wellbeing initiatives with our clients and suppliers.
• Promoting social wellbeing for local communities to support physical and mental health.
CGI is a signatory of 'The Mental Health at Work Commitment'. We will continue to invest in training to expand upon the 300 plus UK members who are certified Mental Health First Aiders. These members have developed a strong support network for their colleagues.
We will continue to invite our clients suppliers and communities to participate in initiatives that encourage the improvement of health and wellbeing. Examples include physical movement challenges and delivering knowledge-sharing events on health and wellbeing topics such as menopause and mental health in young professionals.
CGI funds a minimum of one volunteering day per annum for each member to support local initiatives or charities, making a significant difference to the communities in which we live and work.
We collaborate with our clients and suppliers to identify opportunities to support the wellbeing of local communities. An example of this is our kit sponsorship for local community groups and sports clubs. With a track record of aiding over a thousand different groups, our programme promotes connection, physical activity, teamwork, and community cohesion. This not only benefits individuals directly involved but also contributes to the broader community’s health and wellbeing.
