- A strong local presence. With offices in 100+ offices worldwide, CGI adheres to the fundamental belief that a highly responsive local presence is critical to client success.
- Best-fit global delivery value. With 13 delivery centers strategically located in onshore, nearshore and offshore locations, CGI provides the best, client-prescribed mix of local and global delivery sourcing.
Our footprint

Combined with this unique delivery approach is a sound project management methodology that infuses quality within every aspect of CGI’s operations. Every CGI process, operation and relationship is managed through CGI’s ISO 9001:2000-certified Management Foundation and our delivery centers maintain and strive for the latest industry-leading certifications.
The bottom line: We have the global delivery presence that allows clients to choose the combination of local, onshore, nearshore and offshore delivery that gives them access to the best skills at the best value.
