CGI named a 'major player' in IDC MarketScape report on business consulting

CGI, a Montreal-headquartered management and technology consulting firm, was categorized as a “major player” in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Business Consulting Services 2024 Vendor Assessment.

The report from IDC, a leading market intelligence firm, assesses the competitive fitness of business consulting providers – including the Big Four accountancies, Big Three strategy firms, and various IT specialists such as Cognizant, Infosys, and CGI.

ICD says its MarketScape reports use a rigorous scoring methodology based on qualitative and quantitative criteria.

“CGI excels at transforming organizations to become more sustainable, resilient, agile, and customer-centric while navigating the speed of change and complexities of portfolios, business, and operating models,” said Bill Latshaw, practice research lead for IDC Business Consulting Services. “CGI is a good choice when you need to bridge strategy and execution to meet your current and future needs. Several times during this evaluation CGI’s clients described them as pragmatic, loyal, and entrepreneurial partners.”

Latshaw added that CGI’s consultants take feedback well and are very responsive when leveraging various technologies for clients.

“We believe being named a Major Player recognizes our consultants’ partnership with client executives to help them think boldly and act pragmatically to generate business outcomes. This feedback from our clients demonstrates the differentiated value of our model, talent, and capabilities,” said Pierre-Dominique Martin, SVP for global business and strategic IT consulting at CGI.

CGI’s business consulting practice has offerings across business strategy, organization and change management, core operations, and technology. The firm also has major service lines in systems integration, managed IT services, application services, infrastructure services, and business process services.
