Company mission

To help its clients succeed through outstanding quality, competence, and objectivity, providing thought leadership and delivering the best services and solutions to fully satisfy client objectives in information technology, business processes, and management.

Our take

Founded in 1976, CGI (Consultants to Government and Industry Incorporated) is a global IT consultancy and systems integration firm with 400 offices across the globe. Having gone public in the mid-80s, CGI has grown to a valuation of almost $27 billion.

In the 2020s, CGI’s services are extensive, ranging from consulting, systems integration and IT service management, analytics, and cybersecurity. Alongside consultancy and analytics, it provides a suite of software products that cover fintech, Enterprise Resource Planning, payments, and a broad sweep of other business applications. Starting out as a simple IT consultancy in the basement of founder and Executive Chairman Serge Godin, CGI has grown throughout the decades via major strategic acquisitions and partnerships with the likes of Bell Canada, the nation's largest telecommunications company.

CGI applies its services to a swathe of major industries, including oil and gas, transportation, government, and healthcare, indicating that it is deeply rooted as a trusted partner in many sectors. In 2023, it applied its IT management expertise to AI for CT scans, farm subsidy modernization in Finland as well as acquiring leading fintechs.
