CGI (TSX: GIB.A) (NYSE: GIB), one of the world's largest independent technology and professional services firms, today announced the signing of an agreement to acquire Stratfield Consulting, further strengthening CGI's position in Atlanta, a key U.S. growth market. The combination is expected to be completed in February 2026, subject to customary closing conditions. An Atlanta-based management and technology consulting firm, Stratfield Consulting specializes in digital engineering and product development, technology strategy and enablement, and change management to help clients achieve business outcomes.

"Atlanta is a key market for CGI, with a strong and growing local presence," said Vijay Srinivasan, President of U.S. Commercial and State Government operations at CGI. "As Stratfield Consulting's team joins CGI in Atlanta, we are strengthening how we support clients today while building for what's next—bringing together local expertise with the end-to-end capabilities, scale and range of delivery models of CGI's broader organization."

Founded in 2012, Stratfield Consulting brings nearly 200 talented consultants to CGI, bringing the firm's current Atlanta presence to nearly 600 consultants who live and work in the metro market. For Stratfield Consulting's clients, joining forces with CGI provides continued access to the local, relationship-driven teams they rely on, while unlocking broader capabilities, industry insight, and delivery scale through CGI's global network.

"As we considered our future, our focus was clear: expanding what we can deliver for our clients while creating more opportunity for our people," said Butch Benford, CEO of Stratfield Consulting. "We were deliberate in finding a partner that values trusted client relationships, deep expertise, and a strong local presence. Together, we can deliver even greater value, locally and wherever our clients need us most."
