CGI SELECTED FOR OFFICE OF FEDERAL HOUSING ENTERPRISE OVERSIGHT CONTRACT
Fairfax, Virginia, September 10, 2008 -CGI Federal, Inc., a wholly-owned U.S. operating subsidiary of CGI Group Inc.,
(NYSE: GIB; TSX: GIB.A) today announced that it was selected by the Office of
Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight (OFHEO) to continue work on OFHEO’s

xWorks is a business process management application that
automates many of the manual processing steps OFHEO Examiners use to document
their assessments of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. CGI has been working with OFHEO
to implement and enhance xWorks since 2005. The initial phase of the project
included design and implementation of the system, including automating business
processes, records and case management, front-end capture, and a portal-based
web 2.0 interface. Since then, CGI has helped OFHEO complete an examinations
business process reengineering effort in parallel with regular software release
cycles, and ongoing infrastructure and application management support.
Additionally, CGI Federal has supported application security, aiding OFHEO’s
Certification & Accreditation activities and clearance.
“OFHEO has
been a valued client of CGI since 2005, and we are pleased that they continue to
put their trust in us in the development and support of xWorks,” said George
Schindler, President of CGI Federal. “The BPA will allow CGI to continue
providing services which help OFHEO achieve its mission.”
