Oslo, Norway, February 27, 2014

CGI (NYSE: GIB) (TSX: GIB.A) has signed an agreement to operate and further develop an IT system that manages oil and gas activities on the Norwegian continental shelf and internationally. The agreement with EPIM (Exploration and Production Information Management Association) has a total value of 74 million NOK (approx. CAD $13.5 million) over four years. EPIM is owned by companies engaged in exploration, production and transportation in Norway’s offshore petroleum industry.

Today’s announcement extends and expands the partnership between the two companies. Since 2009, CGI has developed, maintained and operated the cloud-based License2Share (L2S) with EPIM. This solution provides operators, partners, engineering companies and governments with common IT tools to use in their day-to-day work. L2S gathers key information for the oil and gas industry in a common application, and then facilitates secure and efficient information sharing, both within each company’s respective operating licenses and between the various players in the industry. Based on OpenText technology, the L2S solution contains more than three million documents and is used by over 7,500 different users.

Under the new agreement, CGI will assume responsibility for operating L2S to support exploration on the Norwegian continental shelf and internationally until 2017. During this time, CGI will continue to operate an L2S solution for international oil and gas exploration. To further improve user satisfaction, CGI will upgrade the L2S portal and user interface leveraging an OpenText portal solution. CGI has also signed a letter of intent to standardize and enhance all EPIM end-user support agreements.

“CGI has consistently proven its ability to deliver on our technical and commercial requirements,” said Ove Ryland, executive director, EPIM. “We have worked closely with CGI since 2009 and are pleased to extend the operation of the L2S solution, both on the Norwegian continental shelf and internationally. We look forward to collaborating with CGI to develop the next version of this important solution.”

“Advanced cloud platforms are one of CGI’s main areas of expertise,” said Svein Atle Hagaseth, director in charge of CGI’s License2Share, in Norway. “We are delighted that EPIM has extended and expanded our agreement. Improving the end-user experience is always a priority for us at CGI, and we look forward to further enhancing the solution to give it a more modern and user-friendly interface.”
