- CGI has won a contract to support Finland’s largest education services platform
- The agreement covers ongoing development and maintenance of the Studyinfo ecosystem
- The company will apply AI-enabled software delivery to modernize digital education services
CGI has been selected to provide development and maintenance services for Studyinfo, the Finnish National Agency for Education’s largest digital service ecosystem by user volume, under an agreement valued at up to $93.2 million.
The eight-year contract is part of the agency’s largest information and communications technology procurement to date and consolidates multiple previously separate procurements into a single agreement covering the maintenance and continued development of the Studyinfo platform, CGI said Friday.
Studyinfo serves citizens, education providers, government authorities and other stakeholders by providing education-related information and services. According to the Finnish National Agency for Education, the Studyinfo.fi portal recorded approximately 14 million visitors in 2025.
What Will CGI Deliver Under the Agreement?
CGI will use its artificial intelligence-enabled Application Factory delivery model to support continuous service development within the Studyinfo service ecosystem. The approach is designed to accelerate software development, enhance quality and reduce development costs. CGI also plans to incorporate green coding principles as part of the modernization effort.
“Our goal was to simplify contract management, reduce costs and increase the flexibility of agreements,” said Paula Merikko, director at the Finnish National Agency for Education. “The new operating model better supports the continuous development of services and the growing number of users.”
Why Is the Procurement Significant?
“Studyinfo is a key digital service in Finland’s education system,” said Kari Martelius, senior vice president of consulting services and head of government services at CGI Finland. “Our experience in modernizing critical public systems ensures that Studyinfo will continue to serve citizens efficiently in the years to come.”
How Does This Align With CGI’s AI Strategy?
The award expands CGI’s role in delivering AI-enabled digital services in Finland.
In April, CGI launched a sovereign artificial intelligence platform designed to help government and enterprise organizations deploy AI applications within a secure environment that complies with Finland’s national security requirements.
The company has also been involved in AI-focused initiatives supporting satellite data analysis and spatial intelligence. Earlier this year, CGI partnered with the Finnish Meteorological Institute on a European Space Agency-funded project to develop an AI-supported information system for processing satellite measurement data. CGI also signed an alliance agreement with Vantor to pursue AI-enabled spatial intelligence and situational awareness capabilities for defense and civil government applications.
