CGI announced on 18 December 2019 the completion of the previously announced acquisition by its wholly owned indirect subsidiary CGI Group Holdings Europe Limited of the entire issued and to be issued share capital of SCISYS.

Dublin-based SCISYS operates in several sectors, with deep expertise and industry leading solutions in the space and defence sectors, as well as in the media and broadcast news industries. This acquisition of SCISYS will add more than 670 highly skilled professionals to CGI.

“The addition of SCISYS consultants and IP to CGI’s local presence and global reach will benefit our clients, and in particular make our investment in the European space industry more relevant than ever before,” added Torsten Strass, CGI President of Central and Eastern Europe Operations.
