CGI will be enhancing and modernizing NATS’ digital infrastructure and services, contributing to improved resilience, flexibility, and scalability. The deal will see CGI not only deliver data center and hosting services to aid NATS’ transition to a hybrid cloud model but also provide consulting services to manage the company’s complex IT portfolio.

The company’s strong alliances with tech giants such as Amazon, Alphabet, and Microsoft also fuel its growth.

Acquisition of Momentum Consulting and Future Growth

In addition to these collaborations, CGI’s acquisition of Miami-based Momentum Consulting has bolstered its U.S. presence.
