BRANDED UNDER CGI
Fairfax,
Virginia, October 30, 2006
- CGI
Group Inc. (TSX : GIB.A ; NYSE : GIB) today announced that its
wholly owned U.S. subsidiary CGI-AMS will begin operating under the CGI brand
as
of November 1, 2006.
“With
this name change, the transition to CGI is complete,” said Donna Morea,
President of CGI’s U.S. operations and India. “In the two years since we became
part of CGI, clients have responded well to our U.S. business model. CGI
is
recognized in the industry as a leader in client satisfaction. In 2006 alone,
our U.S. sales increased more than 50 percent, and our client contract renewal
rate was 97 percent.”
CGI
and
American Management Systems (AMS) joined forces in May 2004, merging both
companies’ U.S. operations under the CGI-AMS name. At that time, the company
announced that its U.S. business would transition to “CGI” in two
years.
