CGI global research highlights that AI progress depends on expanding talent and execution capacity

MONTRÉAL, June 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - CGI (TSX: GIB.A) (NYSE: GIB), one of the largest independent IT and business consulting services firms in the world, today released the findings of its annual global proprietary research based on discussions with more than 1,800 business and technology executives, of whom the majority are C-level. This year's research highlights a clear market evolution toward digital engineering and reengineering to scale AI and achieve business outcomes. CGI's findings identify three overarching trends shaping business and technology strategies across commercial and government organizations:

"Executives are navigating an environment defined by rising complexity, from regulatory pressures to fragmented systems, while still being expected to deliver measurable outcomes. Our 2026 Voice of Our Clients insights show a clear evolution toward digital engineering and reengineering initiatives, as organizations build new capabilities and modernize legacy environments to scale AI and achieve their digital transformation outcomes," said Tim Hurlebaus, CGI President and CEO. "As we mark our 50-year milestone of innovation and client collaboration, we are focused on building what's next and are uniquely positioned to support this ambition as a trusted, end-to-end partner, combining deep industry expertise, proximity to clients, and a proven AI-to-ROI approach."

Clients are increasingly consolidating toward fewer, trusted partners capable of combining business consulting, systems integration and digital reengineering to deliver end-to-end outcomes. The findings reinforce that without modernized foundations, applying AI to fragmented data, legacy systems and outdated operating models often increases complexity rather than delivering measurable value. This priority is also driving increased demand for selective managed services and consulting capabilities that support how organizations align technology, people and processes to achieve measurable business outcomes.

"With AI adoption accelerating, the priority is now execution and value realization," said Dave Henderson, Chief Technology Officer, CGI. "The opportunity lies in helping organizations move beyond isolated AI use cases toward embedding AI into complex enterprise environments to deliver tangible results and sustainable competitive advantage. CGI's AI-ready approach is designed to make AI real and outcome-focused, helping clients combine strategic human insight with the platforms, data infrastructure, and ecosystem integrations needed to ensure scalable impact."
