CGI and long-time client DB Schenker, a leading transport and
logistics company, have renewed an outsourcing agreement
[http://www.cgi.com/en/it-outsourcing-services ] for the overall IT
management of the company's operations in Sweden and other regions in
Europe. CGI will continue to focus on meeting DB Schenker's needs for
modern, efficient and business critical IT support. The four-year
agreement is valued at 350 million Swedish Krona (approx. CAD $53
million), with an option to extend for two years.

The agreement covers application management, workplace services
and service desk support and is based on a "capacity on demand"
approach, which means the services delivered will vary by demand. CGI
has significantly evolved this approach in recent years because of
the substantial cost savings it provides for clients. DB Schenker
will benefit from flexible, scalable delivery that adapts to changing
needs.

"We have rigorous requirements for stable and secure IT delivery,
and our mission-critical applications must be available 24x7," said
Stig Broberg, who oversees IT procurement for DB Schenker in Sweden.
"It is extremely important to us that we have an IT partner that
understands our business and provides consistent, high quality IT
support that evolves with our needs. Through our long-time
collaboration with CGI, we have benefitted from not only high-quality
but cost-effective IT service delivery."

"DB Schenker has a great understanding of the strategic use of IT
in driving its performance and growth," said Pär Fors, Senior
Vice-President, CGI, Sweden. "We have developed a very close
relationship with DB Schenker over the course of our long-term
partnership, as well as deep knowledge of the company's business.
This level of trust and confidence led to the renewal, and we look
forward to continuing to help address DB Schenker's current and
future needs."
