PRESS RELEASE                                          FOR IMMEDIATE PUBLICATION



             The Economical Insurance Group and CGI sign agreement
         for Web-enabled Enterprise-wide insurance processing solutions


Montreal,  July 13, 2001 - The Economical  Insurance  Group,  one of the largest
property and casualty insurers in Canada, and CGI today announced the signing of
a  multi-million   dollar  contract  whereby  Economical  will  implement  CGI's
enterprise-wide  insurance solution,  GIOS (Global Insurance Open Solution),  as
well as Ratabase,  CGI's rating and scoring  engine.  As part of this agreement,
CGI will provide  knowledge  transfer,  consulting and maintenance  services for
both solutions and assist in their implementation.

Economical  is the second  leading  insurer in Canada to  implement  GIOS as its
strategic  automation  solution.  Economical  will replace its legacy policy and
claims management system with CGI's insurance  solutions,  which will be used to
manage all back office processes.

"In replacing our legacy systems, we wanted to introduce more flexibility in the
way we create business solutions,  while bringing these solutions to market more
quickly,"  said Noel Walpole,  president and CEO of  Economical.  "Ultimately we
wanted to deliver new, value added services to our brokers and end consumers. By
implementing  GIOS,  we will  unify and  simplify  our  entire  development  and
automation process. We believe that GIOS is the right technology  platform,  and
CGI the right technology partner to help us to deliver our ultimate vision."

Mike Roach, CGI's president,  Canada and Europe added: "We are extremely pleased
that Economical has selected GIOS, and more  importantly CGI, to help with their
exciting new business and IT  transformation  process.  We have a competent  and
skilled team of insurance and technology professionals positioned with the right
combination  of  experience  and  leading-edge  skills  to help our new  partner
succeed."

With a strong foothold in the financial  services market,  and a vertical market
business  unit  exclusively  devoted  to  the  Canadian  property  and  casualty
insurance market, CGI focuses on providing value added solutions that streamline
the  underwriting  and  claims  automation  process.   Implementing  GIOS  helps
companies by speeding claim  resolution,  and improving  underwriting  accuracy,
relying on a  customer-centric  core to  deliver  handling  efficiencies.  CGI's
Ratabase  rating and scoring engine  significantly  reduces the time required to
develop and support the rating process.
