The onshoring trend continued, and opportunities emerged for CGI to better position itself for new clients and U.S-based contracts. including sites in Belton, Texas Lebanon, Virginia and Troy, Alabama.
By 2012, CGI had also invested in onshore delivery centers in the U.S. This was especially true when CGI won state and federal government contracts, which came with strict restrictions on employment. Since CGI established the 2006 goals for growth, trends changed and as many companies continued to outsource IT functions overseas, many others determined that it was crucial to have a presence in North America.
With operations in 40 nations across the globe, and with a current worldwide employment of 68,000, CGI’s carefully planned acquisitions and attention to evolving trends solidified the company as a global leader in its field.
In 2006, the company pledged to double in size over the next decade, and in 2012, CGI made its largest acquisition to date by merging with the Anglo-Dutch business and technology services company, Logica. This prompted CGI to evolve into a consulting and systems integration company, and in 1986 it began the process of acquiring companies that specialized in outsourcing IT projects.īased in Montreal, CGI refined its “build and buy” strategy of expanding and adopting techniques for organic growth and additional acquisitions. As the company consulted with clients, many clients outsourced IT functions. In 1976, 26-year-old entrepreneurs and CGI founders Serge Godin and André Imbeau developed a strategy, mode and management principles that guided the company to significant growth in its first decade. Launched in a basement with only one phone and a single client, CGI today stands as the fifth-largest independent information technology and business process services firm in the world. With SWIFT providing the secretariat, it has a very firm foundation and now enjoys a membership of 41 institutions and associations globally, with interest continuing to grow across all stakeholder groups.Louisiana uniquely positioned for new CGI investment The CGI has the added benefit of formal terms and conditions, which include the election of co-convenors who represent the financial and corporate community. However, with the birth of CGI came a new dawn, as participants from these previously independent groups joined forces to make a more globally diverse and inclusive CGI forum. This included the CRG (Corporate Reference Group), UN/CEFACT TBG5 forum and, of course, the SWIFT SCORE (Standardised CORporate Environment) initiative. It is also important to acknowledge other independent initiatives on the market at this time that also had a focus on standards and ideally, a more consistent method of interpretation and adoption. While the CSTP was a success in terms of establishing greater collaboration, it lacked the formal governance model that would underpin its ongoing growth. The CGI was a logical evolution of the earlier CSTP (Corporate Straight-through Processing) Bank Group, the original key stakeholder collaborative effort which was formed in June 2003 on the back of the RosettaNet and TWIST initiatives. Message standardisation would become a vital factor in the new world.

This is not just another article about ISO 20022 XML messaging – it’s about a significant changing mindset in the cash management world. The CGI was formed in October 2009, with SWIFT once again playing host for the inaugural meeting of an inclusive collaborative group of key stakeholders – banks, vendors, corporates and national payment associations – that would re-define the competitive boundaries within the cash management space. But to those who are already more closely involved, the Common Global Implementation group promises to take message harmonisation in the cash management sector to a new level. To some people, CGI is yet another acronym in the financial sector. By Mark Sutton, Senior Payments and Integration Services Consultant, Citi and founder member, CGI
