Key Terms

commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) technical

"to offer commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) software and related services"

Commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) describes ready-made products or software sold to many customers and used without bespoke development, like buying a standard appliance instead of commissioning a custom one. For investors, COTS can speed time to market and lower upfront costs but also creates dependence on suppliers, potential integration or compatibility issues, and different competitive or margin dynamics than custom-built solutions.

saas technical

"CGI Advantage®, a SaaS enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution"

SaaS, or Software as a Service, is a way of delivering computer programs over the internet, allowing users to access and use them through a web browser without needing to install or maintain the software themselves. For investors, it highlights a business model where companies generate recurring revenue by providing ongoing access to their software, often leading to predictable income and growth potential.

enterprise resource planning (erp) technical

"a SaaS enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution, supports key government operations"

Enterprise resource planning (ERP) is a type of software that helps a business organize and manage its core activities—such as finance, supply chain, manufacturing, and human resources—within a unified system. It acts like a central hub that brings together different parts of a company, making operations more efficient and providing better data for decision-making. For investors, ERP systems can signal how well a company integrates and manages its resources, impacting overall performance and growth prospects.

case management technical

"CGI Transcend™, a SaaS case management solution primarily designed for health"

Case management is the organized coordination of services, paperwork and communication around an individual situation—often a patient’s treatment plan, an insurance claim, or a regulatory matter—led by a dedicated coordinator who acts like a project manager. Investors care because effective case management can lower costs, speed recoveries or approvals, improve outcomes and reduce legal or regulatory risk, all of which influence a company’s expenses, revenue and reputation.
