Insights
The partnership between Altair and CGI marks a strategic move in the enterprise AI and data analytics space. The integration of Altair's RapidMiner platform with CGI's consulting services creates a compelling solution for legacy system modernization, particularly for organizations heavily invested in SAS infrastructure. The key differentiator is Altair SLC's ability to run SAS language programs without requiring translation or additional licenses, while supporting modern languages like Python, R and SQL.
This technical capability significantly reduces migration barriers and costs for enterprises looking to modernize their analytics infrastructure. The platform's multi-language support facilitates gradual migration paths, allowing organizations to maintain existing SAS investments while transitioning to modern data science tools. However, the real value proposition lies in the combination of CGI's enterprise-scale consulting expertise with Altair's technical solutions, potentially accelerating AI adoption across traditional industries.
This partnership strategically positions Altair to capture a larger share of the enterprise AI and analytics modernization market. The collaboration addresses a critical pain point in the industry - the costly and complex migration from legacy SAS systems to modern analytics platforms. By targeting sectors like finance, healthcare and retail, which typically have substantial legacy system investments, Altair could see significant revenue growth potential. The partnership with CGI, which has deep relationships with large enterprise clients, provides a strong distribution channel and implementation capability.
The timing aligns with increasing enterprise focus on AI adoption and digital transformation, particularly in traditional industries that have been slower to modernize. The market opportunity is substantial, as organizations seek cost-effective solutions to leverage AI while protecting their existing technology investments.
At the heart of this partnership is the innovative data science software found in the Altair® RapidMiner® data analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) platform, including Altair® AI Studio and Altair SLC™, a SAS language compiler. Altair SLC empowers organizations to move to a flexible, modern analytics platform with minimal business impact. It runs programs written in SAS language without translation or any third-party products or licenses required. Plus its support for Python, R, and SQL — and the ability to combine program modules built in any of these languages — makes it the perfect way to facilitate major migration projects as well as maintain libraries of SAS language programs at reduced cost.
"This partnership is further evidence of our commitment to helping organizations advance their digital transformation efforts through best-in-class data science and AI-driven technologies," said Stephanie Buckner, chief operating officer, Altair. "Collaborating with an experienced, trusted, and forward-thinking partner like CGI further bolsters our efforts and helps our customers unlock new opportunities to achieve their boldest goals."
Altair's software capabilities, complemented by CGI's business and strategic IT consulting expertise — including in the responsible use of AI — will enable clients to navigate complex IT landscapes and legacy systems. Leveraging the Altair RapidMiner platform to accelerate the adoption of cutting-edge AI solutions, clients will enhance operational efficiencies and business outcomes in industries like finance, healthcare, hospitality, and retail.
"CGI's scientific rigor and human-centric AI approach, combined with Altair's solutions, empowers organizations to advance their modernization and digital strategy to realize both immediate and enduring business value from their AI investments," said Douglas Vargo, vice president, consulting services, CGI.
The collaboration promises to deliver unparalleled value to organizations seeking to modernize their IT infrastructures and harness the enormous power of AI. To learn more about the Altair RapidMiner platform, visit https://altair.com/altair-rapidminer.
