“West Virginia conducted a rigorous, full, and open competition to select an ERP partner to meet its current and future needs for a single, integrated ERP system,” commented the West Virginia Enterprise Resource Planning Board, whose members include Governor Earl Ray Tomblin, State Auditor Glen Gainer III, and State Treasurer John Perdue. “CGI has a proven track record of ERP implementation success and their solution will effectively help the State modernize both its systems and business processes while making information from operations more reliable, timely, and accessible.”
