the client's  Phoenix-based,  40,000 square foot,  state-of-the art, stand alone
data center.  The data center,  which  includes a print  operation,  will become
CGI's premier  technology  center in the United States.  Over 300 Fireman's Fund

CGI will offer  services  through its  near-shore  delivery  model in  providing
support  from its  Canadian  data centers for some 500 NT servers and large Unix
platforms for all e-business  applications.  CGI will provide  constant  24-hour
support, serving over 11,000 desktops, laptops and printers.

"Flexibility  and the right  cultural fit were key criteria in selecting CGI. We
looked for flexibility in service delivery,  technology and business  structure.
CGI's in-depth  knowledge of the insurance  industry  coupled with their systems
mastery and technical  experience  will enable us to dedicate more  resources to
core insurance business needs," said Billy McCarter,  senior  vice-president and
chief information officer of Fireman's Fund Insurance Company.  "As a result, we
will now be able to enhance our  delivery of IT services  therefore  meeting our
business and financial needs.  These  significant cost savings will enable us to
continue to improve our services to our clients."

Satish Sanan, president, USA and Asia Pacific of CGI added: "We are very pleased
to welcome our new CGI members and very pleased about our continued  partnership
with Fireman's Fund. This win further  demonstrates  our strong expertise in the
financial services market as well as our growing critical mass in the US. Moving
forward, with
