CGI, one of the largest independent IT and business consulting services firms in the world, announced that its wholly owned Polish subsidiary, CGI Information Systems and Management Consultants (Polska) sp. z o.o. has entered into a conditional agreement to acquire Comarch Polska SA, a subsidiary of Comarch SA, specializing in IT solutions for public administration. The transaction is subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.
Once the acquisition of Comarch Polska SA is complete, more than 460 IT and business consulting professionals will join CGI, growing the firm’s presence in Poland and the Baltic States to approximately 1,500 professionals.
“CGI and Comarch Polska share entrepreneurial roots, with both companies founded to deliver on the promise of technological innovation, and built through close collaboration with clients,” said François Boulanger, CGI President and CEO. “Upon completion, the merger enables CGI to strengthen the depth of our public sector expertise, bring our global expertise to clients, and accelerate growth in Poland, one of Europe’s most digitally advanced regions.”
Comarch has been delivering software and IT service solutions for the public administration sector since 1993. Its key offerings include ERP solutions, tools for digital process and document management, as well as consulting and managed services. The acquisition of Comarch Polska SA will strengthen CGI’s public sector expertise, enable knowledge transfer, and support the implementation of CGI’s intellectual property for the benefit of public administration agencies across the country.
“The acquisition of Comarch Polska by CGI demonstrates that the solutions developed by Comarch are not only innovative but also competitive on international markets,” Comarch CEO Jarosław Mikos said. “It is also proof of the maturity of our teams and the effectiveness of our business model, which combines technology, expertise and a partnership-driven approach to clients. For the remaining Comarch sectors, this is a signal to further strengthen our key business lines and to develop new technologies with an even stronger focus on innovation, stability, and long-term value for our clients.”
“Through our acquisition of Comarch Polska SA, we will deliver comprehensive digital and business transformation offerings for social security, health, and agricultural agencies, as well as other mission areas of the public sector. Furthermore, by leveraging CGI’s expertise in AI, we open up new opportunities to enhance public services and strengthen the effectiveness of state administration," added Bartłomiej Nieścierowicz, Senior Vice-President and Leader for CGI in Poland, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia.
“Joining CGI opens up new opportunities for growth, allowing us to strengthen our services and deliver even greater value to our clients. Working with a global organization that combines local presence with technological leadership provides our team with opportunities to develop within an international environment,” said Tomasz Matysik, Director of the Public Sector, Comarch.
