CGI and Google Cloud deepen alliance to push Agentic AI into enterprise operations

January 21, 2026 CGI announced an expanded global alliance with Google Cloud this week. According to the Montreal-based IT consultant giant, its global partnership with Google Cloud has been expanded to accelerate the deployment of Gemini Enterprise, Google’s agentic AI platform designed to let organizations build, manage and run AI agents securely across their operations.

Under the multi-year agreement, CGI will roll out Gemini Enterprise to tens of thousands of its consultants worldwide while jointly investing with Google Cloud in go-to-market initiatives, internal AI enablement and large-scale delivery. 

“Our expanded relationship with Google Cloud is about accelerating the delivery of outcomes with Agentic AI—not just pilots—as our clients want AI that is enterprise-grade, secure, reliable and measurable,” said Dave Henderson, Chief Technology Officer, CGI. 

According to CGI, the partnership builds on years of industry-specific consulting work, where AI adoption often stalls due to fragmented data, legacy infrastructure and workforce readiness. With Gemini Enterprise, CGI plans to go further and embed agentic AI across managed IT services, business process operations and mission-critical workflows.

The platform is powered by Google’s latest Gemini 3 model and includes advanced developer tooling such as Antigravity, which CGI says will help accelerate solution delivery and scale generative AI capabilities across client environments.

The companies said they will also co-invest in training programs, hackathons and joint innovation workshops. Here, CGI’s global delivery network will be utilized to help clients operationalize AI faster while addressing concerns around security, governance and digital sovereignty.

“AI presents an enormous opportunity to transform how work gets done and how businesses are run. Through this partnership, Gemini Enterprise will become a front door to AI for CGI and its clients, bringing the best of Google AI to orchestrate complex work across entire organizations,” said Oliver Parker, Vice President, Global Generative AI Go-To-Market (GTM), Google Cloud.

CGI emphasized that the Google partnership does not lock clients into a single vendor. The company maintains alliances with more than 150 technology providers and says its consultants remain independent when selecting platforms.

The move comes as enterprises increasingly demand AI systems that deliver clear returns on investment, rather than standalone tools that struggle to integrate with legacy infrastructure. It also follows CGI’s earlier rollout of Google Code Assist, which the company says has already improved AI-assisted software development across its workforce.
