                          Document Management Services:

                    o Five-year contract worth US$20 million


Andover,  Massachusetts,  December 12, 2001 - Arbella  Insurance Group (Arbella)
and CGI Group, Inc. (NYSE: GIB; TSE: GIB.A) (CGI) today announced the signing of
a  five-year  contract  valued at US $20  million,  whereby CGI will supply full
Document  Management  Services  to the New  England P&C  insurance  carrier.  In
outsourcing  document  management  services,  Arbella will realize cost savings,
improve client services, and gain access to enhanced technology.

CGI  will  serve  Arbella  from  its USA  state-of-the-art  Document  Management

million documents per month for CGI's clients and their customers.  Monthly, CGI
will print for  Arbella  some 2 to 2.5  million  images in  addition  to mailing
approximately  400,000 to 500,000 policies and  billing-related  forms. CGI will
implement a host of various software and hardware products to manage,  simplify,
and streamline Arbella's print and distribution workflow.

"Over the last few years of working with CGI, we have gained confidence in their
ability  to provide  excellent  service at a  cost-effective  price,"  said Will
Shelton,  president  of Arbella  Service  Company and COO of the Arbella  Group.
"Technology  is at the center of our future.  Part of our formula for success is
to  partner  with  excellent  service  providers  like CGI who can  enhance  our
infrastructure and provide superior client service."

As part of CGI's Business  Process  Services  offering,  the company manages ten
document  service  centers across North America,  which combines to print over 1
billion images and distribute over 65 million documents annually.  For more than
15 years,  CGI has  provided its clients in the  financial,  telecommunications,
manufacturing,  government,  healthcare,  and public  utilities  sectors  with a
variety of business document production, distribution, and on-line services.







Joseph Saliba,  president of CGI's Business Process Services division added, "We
are very pleased  with our  continued  partnership  with  Arbella.  Our recently
upgraded  Andover  facility  was built in  response  to client  demand  for more
value-added document management services to enhance their creation,  access, and
distribution capabilities. CGI's experience in the insurance sector allows us to
develop,  maintain, and tailor-make our offering in creating solutions - such as
the agent mail service - to meet our client's specific business needs."
