Throughout its evolution, CGI has constantly remained loyal to the guiding principles that are the foundation of its practice. CGI has many characteristics that make it a very efficient business partner. These include: a guarantee of the highest level of competence; rigorous planning; strict control over results, milestones and costs; a constant search for the most advantageous solutions for each client and the assurance of follow-up procedures after the completion of every engagement.

ISO 9001 certified

CGI developed a significant competitive advantage by becoming, in 1994, the first North American company in its category to secure ISO 9001 certification for its Project Management Framework. Today, all of our North American and international operations linked to information technology are certified.

CMM level 5

In 2002, CGI’s India-based application development and support centers have obtained the highest quality level rating of the Software Engineering Institute’s (SEI) Capability Maturity Model (CMM Level 5) for their software process capability.

The CMM describes the principles and practices underlying software process maturity. It covers practices for planning, engineering, and managing software development and maintenance. The CMM was created by SEI, based in Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, PA, in order to help organizations gain control of their processes for developing and maintaining software and promoting a culture of software engineering and management excellence in their operations.

The CMM establishes a benchmark against which it is possible to assess, in a repeatable way, the maturity of an organization's software process and compare it to the state of the practice of the industry. The CMM can also be used to plan improvements in an organization’s software process. When followed, these key practices improve the ability of organizations to meet goals for cost, schedule, functionality, and product quality.
