GIB.A CGI Inc

CGI (TSX:GIB.A)(NYSE:GIB) announced the signing of a 21-month contract with
Desjardins Group (Desjardins). This contract is being awarded as part of the
acquisition project, announced last January, involving the Canadian property and
casualty and life insurance operations of State Farm, the largest mutual
property insurance company in the United States.


To support Desjardins in the implementation of this large-scale project, which
is subject to regulatory approvals, CGI will carry out work to adapt systems and
convert data in areas related to vehicle and home insurance. In addition, its
experience in business integration will be substantially put to use within the
context of this project.


"CGI is a long-standing partner of Desjardins Group and is an organization in
which we have full confidence," underlines Monique Leroux, Chair of the Board,
President and Chief Executive Officer, Desjardins Group. "CGI knows our
business, systems and technical environment, as well as our processes and
practices. We are relying on its high delivery capacity to implement this
project successfully and seamlessly for State Farm agents, employees and
clients" adds Sylvie Paquette, President and Chief Operating Officer of
Desjardins General Insurance Group, the property and casualty insurance
subsidiary of Desjardins.


"CGI is proud to contribute to this strategic project, which leverages our deep
domain expertise and experience in business and system integration", adds Claude
Marcoux, CGI's Chief Operating Officer in Canada. "Desjardins has entrusted us
with a mandate to support the successful transition of the two organizations'
systems and data. This new agreement with Desjardins demonstrates the commitment
of CGI to support its clients in solidifying their strategic direction and
achieving their business objectives."


CGI is a provider of consulting and IT services to 7 of the top 10 insurers in
the world. CGI has also partnered with more than 160 property, casualty, life
and group insurance companies, as well as with other insurance organizations and
brokers worldwide.


Acquisition of State Farm Canadian operations by Desjardins Group

As a result of this transaction, which is expected to close in January 2015,
Desjardins will become the second largest property and casualty insurance
company in Canada, with its volume of annual gross premiums underwritten
increasing from approximately $2 billion to $3.9 billion. Upon completion of the
transaction, Desjardins will welcome State Farm's 1,800 Canadian employees into
its ranks, along with the Canadian network of more than 500 agents serving over
1.2 million existing clients in Ontario, Alberta and New Brunswick. Desjardins
expects this transaction to give rise to a significant number of new jobs in
Canada over the next few years.
