CGI Group (GIB - Free Report) is benefiting from an expanding clientele. It is now partnering with NATS, the U.K.'s leading provider of air traffic control services, to transform and modernize the latter’s digital infrastructure and services.
NATS offers air traffic services at 14 U.K. airports. Through its two air traffic control centers located at Swanwick in Hampshire and Prestwick in Ayrshire, it manages all of U.K. airspace.
Under the seven-year agreement, CGI will deliver data center and hosting services to further increase the resilience, flexibility and scalability of NATS' digital infrastructure. GIB will help NATS’ operations to transition to a hybrid cloud model using an agile delivery approach.
CGI will also provide NATS with consulting services, frameworks and practices for transforming and managing its complex IT portfolio.
CGI Group’s shares have returned 21.4% year to date compared with the Zacks Computer Services industry’s increase of 15.3%.
This Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) company’s growing customer base is expected to drive its top-line growth. It has been selected by the likes of the City of Dallas, U.S. Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM), Scotiabank and Alimentation Couche-Tard in recent times.

In collaboration with Alphabet’s Google Cloud, CGI is set to launch the UNIDO Sustainability Planet Platform.
CGI has been a member of the Microsoft Intelligent Security Association (MISA). This new partnership with MISA gives CGI access to Microsoft's security product line, allowing it to provide clients with higher value and comprehensive security.
Expanding portfolio has been a key growth driver. Aligning with this commitment to cloud technology, CGI launched a cloud-ready enterprise payments solution, CGI All Payments, on AWS Marketplace in November, streamlining payment procedures for banks and offering scalability, ISO 20022 standards compliance and cloud-based delivery.
Moreover, the acquisition of Momentum Consulting, a Miami-based IT and business consulting firm, expanded CGI’s footprint in the United States.
