CGI at a glance

In June 1976, two 26 year old entrepreneurs, Serge Godin and André Imbeau, started CGI in the basement of Serge's home. They had one client, one phone and, most importantly, a lot of ambition. By the end of our first year, CGI had generated $138,000 in revenue. From that point on, our revenue and size increased consistently year after year. Today, there are 68,000 of us in 40 countries.
