Business overview
CGI Inc. (formerly CGI Group Inc.) is one of the largest independent information technology (IT) and business consulting services firms in the world. Founded in 1976 and headquartered in Montreal, Canada, CGI operates through a highly localized relationship model complemented by a robust global delivery network. The company delivers an end-to-end portfolio of capabilities, including high-end business and strategic IT consulting, systems integration, managed IT and business process services, and proprietary intellectual property (IP) solutions.
