CGI has secured a 10-year contract extension with the State of New Jersey to continue its work on the State Integrated Recovery Operations Management Systems (SIROMS). The system, which was initially developed in response to Superstorm Sandy, now serves as New Jersey’s main platform for managing natural disaster recovery and the distribution of related funds.
The renewed agreement will allow CGI to support New Jersey’s efforts in preparing for and responding to natural disasters. The company will help manage federal recovery funds and aims to lower the costs associated with disaster recovery.
“Our partnership with CGI has been instrumental in helping New Jersey respond effectively to major disasters and prepare for those yet to come,” said Parth Sampath, State Contract Manager, New Jersey Department of Community Affairs.
“This agreement ensures we have both the technology and expertise in place to protect our residents and communities while reducing the cost and complexity associated with long-term disaster recovery.”
SIROMS has played a role in modernizing how New Jersey handles disaster recovery by improving operational efficiency, financial tracking, and audit readiness. As of May 2025, more than $7 billion in recovery funds have been distributed through SIROMS, supporting thousands of residents across the state. The system has also helped track over 10,000 individual reports for quarterly progress submissions to HUD over 48 quarters.
Scott Burghoff, Senior Vice-President & Business Unit Leader at CGI, said: “Our ongoing partnership with the State of New Jersey reaffirms CGI’s commitment to helping governments enhance resilience and accelerate recovery from natural disasters. Our collaboration over the past decade has demonstrated the power of a modern, adaptable technology platform to serve citizens when they need it most.”
The SIROMS platform incorporates features from other jurisdictions such as Puerto Rico’s public-facing disaster-funding transparency portal. It also shares innovations developed in New Jersey with other states and local governments.
CGI is one of the largest independent technology and professional services firms globally. The company reported CA$14.68 billion in revenue for fiscal year 2024.
