Fairfax, Virginia, October 10, 2006

CGI-AMS Inc., the wholly-owned U.S. operating subsidiary of CGI Group Inc. (CGI)
(TSX: GIB.A; NYSE: GIB), today announced a five-year, US$22.6 million contract
to host and operate its AMS Advantage® ERP system for the State of
Wyoming. The hosting program is operated through CGI's Managed Advantage
program, a built-to-serve hosting solution developed specifically for government
AMS Advantage ERP clients.

The award continues a successful partnership
between the State and CGI-AMS that began in 1991. Since 2002, the State has
relied on CGI’s Managed Advantage offering to manage their AMS Advantage
solution, which supports 9,500 employees and manages its US$4 billion annual
budget. This in turn frees up valuable State resources to focus on the business
of government. Managed Advantage delivers full-scope technology and operations
management to help organizations derive maximum value from their AMS Advantage
investment. With Managed Advantage, the State sets the course and retains
control of the application and the data, while CGI manages
day-to-day-operations.

“Our partnership with Wyoming demonstrates its
commitment to providing citizens with efficient government services through
predictable costs using quality procedures grounded in proven industry
standards,” said Donna Morea, President of CGI-AMS. “It is the first state to
have a fully outsourced suite of ERP applications, enabling it to focus on the
business of government.”

“With CGI’s Managed Advantage team of experts,
the State of Wyoming has a solid partnership built on a relationship of honest
interaction, focused on client satisfaction and success,” said Max Maxfield,
Wyoming's State Auditor. “With this single point of accountability we receive
faster resolution time and increased value for our dollar.”

For over 30
years, CGI has been a trusted partner to the public sector, applying their deep
industry knowledge with off-the-shelf solutions to help customers achieve their
unique goals for service excellence. Managed Advantage compliments their
web-based AMS Advantage ERP solution, providing public sector customers with a
single vendor option for software, services and hosting to overcome the
challenges associated with evolving business requirements and a shortage of IT
and business staff. With Managed Advantage, CGI partners with its clients as one
team, each dependent on and vested in the success of the other.

Through
our leading ERP suite AMS Advantage, CGI helps 190+ state and local
organizations better serve 90+ million citizens. Designed exclusively to support
the business of government, CGI’s AMS Advantage solution can be hosted through
our Managed Advantage program. Combining industry best practices with technology
capabilities and scale, CGI reduces the complexity of clients’ day-to-day
operations through the reliable and accountable hosting of their AMS Advantage
ERP environment.
