Montréal, Québec, March 2, 2008

CGI Group Inc. (TSX: GIB.A; NYSE: GIB), a leader in information technology and
business process services, today announced the launch of its new rapid response
Credit Diagnostic service, designed to help financial institutions stay nimble
in today’s credit market while positioning for the future.

The Credit
Diagnostic is delivered by CGI credit management and bank operations experts.
The service is designed to quickly pinpoint potential issues and devise an
actionable plan to help banks improve their financial position by staving off
loan losses, minimizing DSO, controlling future credit risk and enhancing the
value of their current best customers. The Credit Diagnostic begins with a
detailed assessment of the bank’s credit processes and structures, evaluated
against best practices, competitive performance and current industry standards,
enabling the bank to identify a realistic benchmark for controlling losses while
positioning the institution for revenue expansion. Next, CGI delivers a set of
immediately actionable, tactical recommendations to address strategic
issues and help the organization meet its targeted goals.

“In this
multidimensional environment, it is imperative to confirm a bank’s business
processes are as efficient as possible, and that credit policy and risk
management strategies are positioned for maximum effectiveness,” said Jame
Cofran, Senior Vice-President, Banking and Investments, CGI. “CGI credit
specialists bring a detailed understanding of the linkage between operational
levers and financial performance, and how best to affect those levers for rapid
impact.”
