PRESS RELEASE                                          FOR IMMEDIATE PUBLICATION

 GrafTech International and CGI enter business process outsourcing
            agreement for worldwide finance and accounting services


Wilmington,  Delaware,  USA and Montreal,  Canada,  September 5, 2002 -CGI Group
Inc. (CGI) (TSX: GIB.A; NYSE: GIB), a leading provider of end-to-end information
technology  and business  process  services,  today  announced  the signing of a
10-year finance and accounting  business process services  outsourcing  contract
valued at US$36 million with GrafTech  International Ltd. (NYSE: GTI).  GrafTech
is one of the  world's  largest  manufacturers  and  providers  of high  quality
natural and  synthetic  graphite and  carbon-based  products  and services  with
operations worldwide, including the United States, France, Mexico, Spain, Brazil
and South Africa. CGI will be the delivery arm for certain of GrafTech's finance
and accounting  functions,  directly supporting  GrafTech's  worldwide financial
management  team from its Global  Shared  Service  Centers.  Combining a team of
experienced  senior  executives  in  finance  and  accounting  business  process
services and proven  financial  systems design  expertise,  CGI will deploy best
practices to optimize transactional  activities,  including accounts payable and
accounts  receivable as well as perform  certain  analytical  functions  such as
financial business champions,  general accounting,  cost accounting and analysis
activities.

Gil Playford, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of GrafTech, commented, "This
strategic  partnership  is  fundamental to our  transformation  initiatives  and
consistent with previously announced cost reduction  activities.  Our experience
with  CGI in the  information  technology  area  has  clearly  demonstrated  the
superior  quality and  efficiency  benefits we can realize  when we deploy these
types of  outsourcing  solutions.  This  arrangement  will enable us to dedicate
proportionally  more  resources  on  value-added  financial  analysis,  decision
support and risk management."

This agreement is part of GrafTech's  previously  announced efforts to implement
high quality,  efficient global work processes,  including the consolidation and
streamlining of order fulfillment, purchasing, finance and accounting, and human
resource   activities.   These  and  other  key  initiatives  are  targeted  for
substantial completion by the end of 2003.

In 2001,  GrafTech  selected  CGI as its  outsourcing  partner  for  information
technology  services based on CGI's high quality IT processes,  strong expertise
in J.D. Edwards software, and its international presence. CGI has partnered with
GrafTech   on  the   redesign  of  its   information   systems  and  the  global
implementation  of the J.D.  Edwards(R)  OneWorld(R)  system.  The new  business
process  services  arrangement  will complement the work to date and effectively
increase the resources to complete the J.D. Edwards project.

Serge  Godin,  Chairman  and Chief  Executive  Officer  of CGI  added:  "We feel
confident  that this  alliance  will  assist  GrafTech in meeting  their  global
integration  goals and best practice targets by leveraging our methodologies and
quality  standards.  Moving  forward,  we see solid  potential  for our business
process  services model as more and more of our IT outsourcing  clients  realize
the  benefits  of  outsourcing  business  functions  to CGI as part of a win-win
partnership.  Our business process services help companies  capitalize upon cost
savings generated through sophisticated execution of operations and economies of
scale."
