Collaborative Consulting

What Collaborative Consulting does

CGI in the United States (operating under the legacy Collaborative Consulting identity) is the U.S. subsidiary of CGI Inc., a publicly traded (ticker: GIB) global technology and professional services firm founded in 1976 with 91,000+ professionals worldwide. The company delivers end-to-end IT and business consulting across federal government, state and local government, banking, insurance, health, utilities, manufacturing, oil and gas, retail, communications, and life sciences. Its service portfolio spans application services, business consulting, business process services, infrastructure services, managed services, and systems integration, with key technology capabilities in AI, cloud, data analytics, digital transformation, IT modernization, and Agile/DevOps.

CGI's core technology asset is a portfolio of proprietary vertical-specific platforms including CGI Advantage (state/local government ERP), CGI OpenGrid360 (utility grid management), Ratabase (insurance rating), CGI All Payments (payment processing), CGI Credit Studio (banking credit risk), CGI PulseAI (AI-powered analytics), Momentum and CGI Atlas360 (federal government), Sunflower (federal health/social services), CGI Trade360 (multi-bank trade finance), and CGI EngageHub, OverCite, and Transcend (state and local government). These platforms sit alongside professional services delivery to support recurring, productized revenue.

The business model combines professional services (consulting, systems integration), managed services (IT outsourcing, infrastructure management), application services (custom development, modernization, often recurring), and licensing/support of proprietary software platforms. Pricing is contract-based and quote-driven for government and commercial clients, typically structured as multi-year engagements. Go-to-market relies on direct enterprise field sales, federal contract vehicles, and channel partnerships with system integrators, supported by an extensive content, social, and events-driven thought-leadership presence targeting enterprise and government buyers.
