Case Study
CGI
Launched in a basement in 1976 with only one phone and a single client, Montreal-based CGI today stands as the fifth-largest independent information technology and business process services firm in the world. The company’s continuous growth is a testament to its strong partnerships with the clients and communities it serves.
