CGI has a special position in the EO world, covering the complete chain from the upstream on board the satellites, to the ground segment which receives and processes the data, to the downstream which turns the data into valuable, usable information. CGI works closely with space agencies and satellite manufacturers and operators to achieve this, and combined with knowledge of the downstream sectors like insurance, oil and gas (O&G), banking, government and defence, helping diverse customers extract value from space data. CGI specialises in 24x7 operational end-to-end EO ground system solutions, and in developing operational applications and services to exploit EO data. CGI areas of expertise extend from user and system requirements analysis through to design, development, integration and support. CGI also provides consultancy on market requirements and how to address them commercially, technically, organisationally and legally.
