CGI Group, Inc. – HQ

CGI Group Inc., more commonly known as CGI, is a Canadian global information technology (IT) consulting, systems integration, outsourcing, and solutions[buzzword] company headquartered in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. In 1976, Serge Godin and André Imbeau founded CGI, which originally stood for “Conseillers en gestion et informatique” (translating to “Consultants in management and information technology”). After starting out as an IT consulting firm, the company soon began branching into new markets and acquiring other companies. CGI went public in 1986 with a primary listing on the Toronto Stock Exchange. CGI is also a constituent of the S&P/TSX 60, and has a secondary listing on the New York Stock Exchange. After almost doubling in size with the 1998 acquisition of Bell Sygma, CGI acquired IMRGlobal in 2001 for $438 million, which added “global delivery options” for CGI. Other significant purchases include American Management Systems (AMS) for $858 million in 2004, which grew CGI’s presence in the United States, Europe and Australia and led to the formation of the CGI Federal division. CGI Federal’s 2010 acquisition of Stanley, Inc. for $1.07 billion[7] almost doubled CGI’s presence in the United States, and expanded CGI into defense and intelligence contracts.[4] In 2012 CGI acquired Logica for $2.7 billion Canadian, making CGI the fifth-largest independent business processes and IT services provider in the world,[8] and the biggest tech firm in Canada.[9] In 2016 CGI ranked No. 955 on the Forbes Forbes Global 2000. At the time CGI had assets worth CAD $20.9 billion, annual sales of $10.7 billion, and a market value of $9.6 billion.[10] As of 2017 CGI is based in forty countries with around 400 offices, and employs approximately 70,000 people.[2] Canada made up 15% of CGI’s client base revenue as of March 2015. 29% originated from the United States, while around 40% of their commissions came from Europe, and the remaining 15% derived from locales in the rest of the world.[11] Services provided by CGI as of 2015 include application services, business consulting, business process services, IT infrastructure services, IT outsourcing services, and systems integration services, among others.[12] CGI has customers in a wide array of industries and markets,[11] with many in financial services.[13] CGI also develops products and services for markets such as telecommunications, health, manufacturing, oil and gas, posts and logistics, retail and consumer services, transportation, and utilities.[13] Clients include both private entities and central governments, state, provincial and local governments, and government departments dealing with defense, intelligence, space, health, human services, public safety, justice, tax, revenue and collections.[13]
