Long-standing collaboration covers the entire messaging value chain and advances digitalization

HELSINKI, May 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - CGI (TSX: GIB.A) (NYSE: GIB), one of the largest independent IT and business consulting services firms in the world, and Posti, one of the leading transportation and logistics companies in Finland, Sweden and the Baltics, have expanded their strategic partnership. The eight-year agreement enables organizations to strengthen communication reach, delivery reliability and cost predictability through a cost-efficient omnichannel solution that combines digital and physical communication channels.

The collaboration covers the entire communications value chain, from printing and distribution to digital channels. This enables centralized and efficient communication management, improves delivery reliability, and brings cost predictability in an environment where volumes are increasing and channels are becoming more diverse.

"Our clients need increasingly flexible ways to manage their communications across different channels. Together with CGI, we can provide a solution that combines physical and digital services while bringing greater predictability and cost-efficiency to communications," said Kimmo Salakka, Vice-President, Strategy and Development at Postal Services. "We have worked closely with CGI for a long time, based on joint development and long-term commitment. It is great to deepen our relationship into a true business partnership, where we are also significant clients to each other."

Through this expanded partnership, CGI and Posti will also bring new solutions to the market, built around the OmaPosti solution used by 2.7 million people in Finland. The solution enables organizations to enhance customer engagement, develop digital services and reach customers more effectively across different channels.

"CGI plays a significant role in Finland's communications ecosystem with nearly 500 million digital messages, and 19 million paper letters move through CGI's systems annually," said Niraj Sood, President of CGI's operations in Finland, Poland and the Baltics.
