In a significant step for European IT consolidation, CGI announced a conditional agreement to acquire Comarch Polska SA — a leading provider of IT solutions for public administration in Poland. The deal, which remains subject to regulatory approval, signals CGI’s deepening investment in one of Europe’s fastest-growing digital economies.
A Strategic Expansion in Poland
Once finalized, the acquisition will bring over 460 Comarch Polska professionals into CGI’s ranks. This addition will expand CGI’s footprint across Poland and the Baltic States to roughly 1,500 employees. It’s a move that blends scale with specialization, adding seasoned experts who have decades of experience working with government agencies.
François Boulanger, CGI’s President and CEO, emphasized the shared roots between the two companies. “CGI and Comarch Polska share entrepreneurial origins,” he said, noting both firms were built on close collaboration with clients and a focus on technological innovation. The merger, Boulanger explained, is set to “strengthen public sector expertise and accelerate growth in one of Europe’s most digitally advanced regions.”
Comarch’s Legacy in Public Sector Innovation
Founded in 1993, Comarch Polska has been a trusted partner to public institutions across Poland. The company’s portfolio includes ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) systems, digital document management platforms, and a range of consulting and managed services. Its technology helps streamline administration, increase transparency, and improve service delivery for millions of citizens.
By integrating Comarch Polska’s solutions and workforce, CGI gains an immediate advantage: localized expertise combined with proven technology built specifically for government operations. This acquisition effectively creates a bridge between CGI’s global IP portfolio and Poland’s national digital strategy.
Industry Reaction and Executive Insight
Comarch CEO Jaros?aw Mikos viewed the deal as validation of his company’s long-term strategy. “The acquisition by CGI shows that Comarch’s solutions are globally competitive,” he said. “It’s proof of our teams’ maturity and our model’s strength, combining technology, expertise, and partnership-driven delivery.” Mikos added that Comarch will continue strengthening its remaining divisions and investing in new technologies focused on innovation and client stability.
For CGI, the integration isn’t just about scaling headcount — it’s about deepening specialization. Bart?omiej Nie?cierowicz, Senior Vice-President and Leader for CGI in Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia, said the acquisition will enable CGI to deliver “comprehensive digital transformation services for social security, health, and agricultural agencies.” He also highlighted the role of artificial intelligence in improving efficiency and modernizing state administration processes.
What It Means for the Polish Tech Sector
This acquisition represents more than a business transaction — it’s a signal of confidence in Poland’s maturing IT sector. With a strong educational pipeline, a tech-savvy workforce, and government initiatives supporting digital modernization, Poland has become a magnet for international investment in technology services.
For Comarch employees, joining CGI opens access to international projects, advanced training, and a global support network. Tomasz Matysik, Comarch’s Director of the Public Sector, said the move provides “opportunities for growth and a chance to deliver greater value to clients through CGI’s global reach.”
What Comes Next
Pending regulatory approvals, the acquisition could be completed in early 2026. Once finalized, CGI plans to integrate Comarch Polska’s operations gradually to ensure continuity for public sector clients and smooth alignment of technical standards. Both companies share a commitment to client-driven innovation, suggesting a strong cultural fit that will ease the transition.
With Poland’s digital transformation accelerating and public institutions investing heavily in modernization, CGI’s timing could hardly be better. The combination of global resources and local expertise positions the company to play a defining role in shaping Europe’s digital public infrastructure.
The message is clear: CGI isn’t slowing down. By bringing Comarch Polska under its umbrella, the firm is doubling down on one of the most promising IT markets in Europe — and doing so with precision, partnership, and purpose.
