Meet our Members: CGI

In Meet our Members, Connekt puts one of its members in the spotlight every two weeks. We highlight their involvement in the network and their contribution to current themes in mobility and logistics. This week, we are putting our Premium Member CGI in the spotlight!

CGI is one of the largest independent IT service providers in the world. It combines local collaboration with a global distribution network, allowing clients to achieve their results faster and more digitally.

Digital transformation as a driver for smart mobility and logistics

CGI has built a strong position in the Netherlands within the world of transport, logistics, mobility, and infrastructure. They advise, implement large-scale projects, and provide mission-critical services. Through long-term partnerships with organizations such as the Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management, NDW, Rijkswaterstaat, RDW, and Connekt, CGI is growing rapidly. Together, they continuously invest in innovation, digitalization, and data.

Smart Mobility: building smart public programs together

For years, CGI has supported public-private programs aimed at better accessibility, sustainability, and road safety. For instance, they work intensively on initiatives by Rijkswaterstaat and NDW. Examples include SPIN (the Smart Public Infrastructure Network) and the smarter and safer use of traffic management data.

Data sharing in the chain is a prerequisite for efficiency and innovation. When this is organized securely and based on trust, a solid foundation for collaboration is created. It offers governments and companies the opportunity to exchange information reliably and optimize processes. CGI possesses extensive knowledge of federated data sharing and the establishment of data spaces. They also develop technology where AI helps in making better-informed decisions. In the innovation lab iAMLAB, they develop new data services for mobility and logistics together with chain partners.

Smart Logistics: data as the key to supply chain efficiency

CGI sees plenty of opportunities for the logistics sector to benefit more from digitalization. The company is closely involved in programs for Dutch inland ports. With projects such as the Basic Data Infrastructure (BDI) and the Digital Inland Logistics (DIL) program, they are building a future where organizations can share information without concerns. This makes it possible to track container flows in real-time, plan logistical processes more efficiently, reduce CO₂ emissions, and save costs.

Through Connekt, CGI supports Topsector Logistiek in achieving a concrete approach that makes companies more resilient in a changing world. According to CGI, smart data sharing forms the foundation for sustainable, future-proof logistics.

The added value of Connekt

For CGI, Connekt is more than just a network organization; they are a proud premium member.
Wim Wendt, Director of Consulting Transport & Innovation at CGI, even referred to Connekt in an interview as 'a warm nest where public and private sectors meet in an atmosphere of trust.' According to him, open collaboration is essential for the further digitalization of a sector that impacts CGI. 'Connekt has added value,' says Wendt, 'because it offers members the opportunity to carry out joint projects that are of national importance.'

CGI's ambition

Finally: CGI aims to be the infra-partner of choice – the link that connects and helps realize the data-driven ecosystem.
