CGI lands deal with Harley-Davidson

Motorcycle giant Harley-Davidson has retained the services of Montreal company CGI to develop its new computer system for managing customer loan files.

The information technology consulting company made the announcement in a press release Monday morning.

“Our partnership with Harley-Davidson Financial Services provides them with a new loan application system,” explained Tim Harlebas, president of private sector and local government at CGI.

“This will reshape the financing journey for Harley-Davidson customers and generate value for one of the world's most prestigious brands,” he enthused.

According to the Montreal company, its new financing platform will simplify the financing process for Harley-Davidson motorcycle buyers, especially by reducing “redundant steps” when applying for a loan.

“At the heart of this exciting collaboration with CGI is our commitment to making it easy for every motorcyclist to own a Harley-Davidson,” said Charles Doe, the American company's senior vice president of financial services.

“As the new system simplifies the financing process and makes information transparent and easy to access, it allows customers to make informed decisions and embark on their next adventure with confidence,” he said.
