CGI, one of the largest independent IT and business consulting services firms in the world, announced an alliance partnership agreement with Vantor, a leading provider of unified spatial intelligence from space to ground. The companies have signed a Letter of Intent outlining their plans to collaborate on developing next-generation solutions that combine CGI’s advanced artificial intelligence (AI), edge computing and visual analytics expertise with Vantor’s Spatial Intelligence platform Tensorglobe and its Raptor product for navigation and geolocation in Global Navigation System (GNSS)-denied environments.
The collaboration will enhance mission effectiveness and real-time situational awareness across defence, national security and environmental domains. CGI and Vantor will deliver integrated intelligence solutions that combine AI, spatial intelligence, space-based sensing and digital platforms, enabling faster, more informed decision-making in increasingly complex operational environments. The partnership reflects growing demand for interoperable, sovereign and commercial solutions that strengthen operational resilience in a changing geopolitical and environmental landscape.
“We are bringing together complementary strengths in AI-driven analytics and secure, scalable access to satellite data through this collaboration with Vantor. As governments and industry organisations look to improve resilience and responsiveness, integrating near-real-time space-based intelligence into digital command and control networks will be key to achieving decision advantage,” said John Hanley, Senior Vice-President Consulting Services, Secure Mission Critical Solutions, at CGI in the UK.
“Collaborating with CGI allows us to extend the reach of Vantor’s technology and apply it to new use cases that demand both agility and precision. Our combined capabilities will help defence and civil government customers derive actionable intelligence faster and more securely, supporting safer operations and smarter use of global data assets,” said Anders Linder, General Manager, Vantor International.
The companies seek to develop solutions that fuse CGI Machine Vision and CGI SignalSense platforms with Vantor’s Tensorglobe services to enhance high-precision geo-positioning and imagery analytics. Integration with Vantor‘s Raptor products will support users operating in GNSS denied or degraded environments to navigate and position coordinates. The collaboration will pursue opportunities across the UK, Europe, and allied markets for AI-enabled edge computing and space-based situational awareness capabilities.
