Edmonton, Alberta, September 14, 2010

CGI Group Inc. (TSX: GIB.A; NYSE: GIB) and Alberta Employment and Immigration (AEI) today announced the signing of a four-year, multi-million dollar agreement. Building on a previous eight-year contract, under this new agreement, CGI will provide maintenance support to 90 of AEI’s mainframe, client server and web-based applications, as well as the development of new applications to meet AEI’s diverse business needs.  

The Ministry of Employment and Immigration contributes to the long-term sustainability of the economy by ensuring Alberta has a skilled workforce, productive and safe workplaces, and by helping to improve the well-being of Albertans.

“Alberta Employment and Immigration provides vital services to Albertans and having reliable technology supporting these services needs to be a given,” said Doug McCuaig, President, CGI, Canada. “Building on our long-term partnership, we’re thrilled to have been selected to continue to support AEI moving forward.”
