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.
