§Winston Score History

The full picture

CGI Inc. is a Canadian technology services company that helps governments, banks, and large businesses run their computer systems and software. It builds custom software, manages IT infrastructure, and provides consulting services to clients in industries like healthcare, defense, finance, and utilities. CGI is one of the largest IT services firms in the world, with roots going back to 1976 in Montreal.

CGI makes money by charging clients fees for long-term contracts to manage their technology systems, as well as project-based work like building new software. It operates across North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific, generating roughly $14 billion in annual revenue. Its main competitive advantage is deep relationships with government clients, who tend to sign multi-year contracts that are hard to switch away from. The key risk is that large government IT budgets can be cut during economic downturns, which could reduce demand for its services.
