The state of New Jersey was recently awarded a 10-year contract with CGI for continued development, enhancement and support of its State Integrated Recovery Operations Management Systems.
Through the SIROMS network, New Jersey has modernized its recovery options by enhancing operational efficiency, ensuring financial traceability and accountability in the distribution of funds, and achieving comprehensive audit readiness.
The system allows faster data-driven decisions and increasing transparency for residents and oversight officials.
Under the renewed agreement, CGI will continue to support New Jersey’s readiness to respond to current and future natural disasters, enabling the state to efficiently manage federal recovery funds and reduce the overall cost of natural disaster recovery.
In what was originally established to support the recovery from Superstorm Sandy, SIROMS has evolved into the state’s system of record for managing natural disaster recovery efforts and has managed the distribution of over $7.2 billion in recovery funds as of May 2025.
The SIROMS solution has enabled the state to track over 10,000 individual reports supporting the successful submission of quarterly progress to HUD over the past 48 quarters.
Parth Sampath, the state contract manager for New Jersey Department of Community Affairs praised the impact on the state.
“Our partnership with CGI has been instrumental in helping New Jersey respond effectively to major disasters and prepare for those yet to come,” Sampath said. “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.”
Furthermore, CGI SVP Scott Burghoff elaborated on the safety impact.
“Our collaboration over the past decade has demonstrated the power of a modern, adaptable technology platform to serve citizens when they need it most,” he said.
