CGI has been selected to partner with NATS, a provider of air traffic control services, to help transform and modernize the company’s digital infrastructure and evolve its services for air traffic operations in the U.K..
The seven-year agreement, which, according to a release, is the culmination of a year of the two working together, will see CGI deliver “data centre and hosting services to further increase the resilience, flexibility, and scalability of NATS’ critical digital infrastructure.
“CGI’s support will include transitioning NATS to a hybrid cloud model using an agile delivery approach. In addition, CGI will provide NATS with consulting services, frameworks, and practices for transforming and managing its complex IT portfolio.”
NATS provides air traffic services at 14 U.K. airports and manages all U.K. airspace from two air traffic control centres, located at Swanwick in Hampshire, and Prestwick in Ayrshire, Scotland.
