Avison Young has selected CGI to deliver AI-powered managed services in approximately 30 countries as part of an expanded strategic partnership between the two firms.

The mandate is aimed at strengthening Avison Young’s digital foundation, accelerating its evolution as a digitally enabled real estate services provider and supporting the modernization of its platforms, said the company.

CGI will work to enhance operational performance while delivering greater insight and scalability across Avison Young’s digital environment. In parallel, Avison Young will continue to provide integrated real estate advisory and workplace services aligned with CGI’s operational needs, supporting efficiency and the overall partner experience.

“As organizations navigate rapid change in both digital platforms and workplace models, AI-enabled managed services are becoming essential to driving resilience and performance,” said Michael Godin, president of CGI Canada. “Through this engagement, CGI is helping Avison Young enhance its digital foundation with secure, scalable capabilities that deliver operational insight, adaptability, and long-term business value.”

The companies said the engagement reflects a shared focus on practical, outcome-driven technology. By combining CGI’s managed services expertise with advanced AI capabilities, Avison Young aims to improve the reliability, scalability and intelligence of its systems, allowing teams to respond more effectively to client and market demands.

“Our selection of CGI builds on a strong existing relationship and supports the next phase of our digital transformation,” said Martin Jepil, chief information officer at Avison Young. “CGI’s experience in delivering AI-enabled managed services helps us strengthen our technology foundation while continuing to innovate how we deliver real estate and workplace solutions to our clients.”

The expanded partnership formalizes reciprocal service delivery between the organizations, with both firms aiming to enhance service consistency, security and digital capabilities while supporting CGI’s workplace-strategy and operational requirements.
