                Interstate Insurance signs contract with CGI for
                             infrastructure services

Chicago,  Illinois, October 2, 2002 - Fireman's Fund Interstate Insurance Group,
a division of the Fireman's Fund Insurance Company a subsidiary of Allianz AG of
Munich,  and CGI Group Inc. (CGI) (TSX:  GIB.A;  NYSE:  GIB) today announced the
signing of a  nine-year  outsourcing  contract  valued at US$13  million for the
provision  of  infrastructure  services.  This  contract  is  an  addition  to a
previously announced ten-year outsourcing contract with Fireman's Fund Insurance
Company on October 2, 2001.

As part of the agreement,  CGI will provide Interstate Insurance with IT support
services in Chicago,  Denver,  New Jersey,  San Francisco and Atlanta.  CGI will
offer 24-hour support  services  through its near-shore  delivery  facilities in
Canada and its Phoenix  data center for 99 NT servers and large Unix  platforms.
CGI will also provide support for over 860 desktops, laptops and printers.

"We are at the  first  year  anniversary  of our  partnership  with CGI and have
experienced a successful  and seamless  transition  of our critical  information
technology  operations.  CGI was a logical choice for our affiliate,  in keeping
with streamlining our businesses.  We were mostly  appreciative of the fact that
as our  time  objective  shortened,  CGI was  able to  deliver  services  before
originally  anticipated.  That  flexibility  meant a lot," said Billy  McCarter,
senior  vice-president and chief information officer of Fireman's Fund Insurance
Company.

Joseph Saliba,  president,  U.S.,  India and business  process  services for CGI
added:  "We are very pleased with this win as it  strengthens  our  relationship
with  Fireman's  Fund and the Allianz Group of Companies.  It also  demonstrates
that the most effective way of securing new business is through a job well done.
We have brought  real benefit and cost savings to Fireman's  Fund and we will do
the same for Interstate Insurance."
