CGI Group, Inc.

About

Established in 1976, CGI stands as one of the world's leading IT and business consulting firms. Our approach is both insights-driven and outcomes-focused, designed to maximize the return on your investments. The name "CGI" originates from the French acronym for "Conseillers en gestion et informatique," translating to information systems and management consultants. In English, it represents "Consultants to Government and Industry."

In our first decade, a dedicated team of highly skilled members joined CGI, shaping our core principles and beliefs. These foundational elements are encapsulated in the CGI Constitution, which outlines our Dream, Mission, Vision, and Values. We refer to our professionals as members because everyone who joins CGI is invited to become a company owner. This ownership mindset is integral to our management philosophy.

From the beginning, we implemented a performance-based management system across all functions to swiftly identify and seize opportunities. Empowered leaders with accountability facilitated rapid expansion. During this time, the IT services market was emerging, and demand evolved to include fixed-price and systems integration contracts. As a result, CGI transitioned from a consulting firm into a comprehensive consulting and systems integration company.
