Fairfax, Virginia, January 15, 2008

CGI Group, Inc. (TSX: GIB.A; NYSE: GIB), a leading provider of information technology and business process services, today announced that it has been selected by the State of Vermont for a project to dramatically improve state tax operations. The two-year contract is valued at US$6.3M.

To enhance Vermont's revenue collection and improve overall efficiency of its tax department, CGI will convert many of Vermont's remaining mainframe legacy tax accounting applications onto a modernized web-based architecture based on Oracle's Enterprise Taxation Management (ETM) software suite. The State's Corporate Income Tax, Business Income Tax, Fuel Gross Receipts Tax, Property Transfer Tax, and Individual Use Tax will be converted and processed in the new system. "We are eager to begin this project to continue our transformation of the way taxes are processed and administered in the State of Vermont," declared Tom Pelham, Commissioner of the Vermont Department of Taxes. "We anticipate that the E™ platform will allow the Department the flexibility to add other taxes over time."

"We are very pleased to work with the State of Vermont on this important project," said Paul Raymond, Senior Vice-President, CGI. "We look forward to delivering additional capabilities to the State and helping to enhance its operations and ability to serve its citizens."

"CGI will combine its significant tax management expertise with Oracle's E™ product to provide tremendous value to the government tax and revenue marketplace," said Philip Brand, Vice-President, CGI. "With a 20-year proven track record of implementing transformation projects, our Tax and Revenue practice provides federal, state and local governments with the opportunity to dramatically improve their operations. This project will provide a dynamic service-oriented architecture (SOA) to process Vermont's mission critical tax return and financial information," added Brand. "CGI has the ability to deliver high-end applications combined with a deep experience in tax administration and management - which delivers significant value to our clients."
