DCF Research assessment

Editorial judgment by DCF Research, based only on the sourced evidence on this page. It does not change the score.

Publicly listed, Montreal-based IT and business consulting group with about 94,000 professionals. Snowflake's partner directory lists one CGI entity as Elite and four as Select, and Databricks lists CGI as a consulting and SI partner. Its data pages center on the Data2Diamonds framework, analytics and AI advisory; case studies include a Google Cloud warehouse migration for ADEO.

Best for

  • US federal agencies buying data roles through CGI Federal's GSA schedule
  • Government and public-sector data and AI programs
  • Enterprises moving a legacy warehouse to Google Cloud

Watch-outs

  • Data pages are framework-led and do not name data engineering, ML or platform migration as stand-alone services.
  • Snowflake Elite applies to one CGI entity; four others are Select, so confirm which entity contracts.

Delivery regions (as stated by the firm) North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, Middle East and Africa
