As a partner, I'm honored to celebrate CGI's incredible 50-year journey, a milestone that represents not just longevity but transformative impact across the technology landscape.

Our relationship—Bell and CGI—runs quite deep. It's a story that dates back to 1995, when Bell first partnered with CGI. But the real transformation came in about 1998, when Bell Sygma, our IT development arm, merged with CGI in what became the largest partnership deal in Canadian history. That merger created a partnership model that has endured for nearly three decades. 

When we launched BCE Global Tech in India, we turned to that same partnership DNA. We brought some CGI Partners into our development ecosystem and that helped us get started quickly and achieve our goals with excellence. The developers brought with them decades of delivery experience, and relentless focus on client success that defines CGI's culture.

As we scale our GCC here in India as a catalyst for Bell's digital transformation, we're building on foundations that we started together.

So, congratulations CGI on 50 years. Looking forward to what we build together next.
