1006 ET - CGI says that its acquisition of tech and engineering firm BJSS in the UK taps into a trajectory of growth in the country, CEO Francois Boulanger says on an earnings call. He says that the acquisition of the firm, which is one of the largest independent IT and software engineering consultancies in the UK, is part of its goal to lean heavier on the commercial side, specifically in the UK market. He calls the acquisition a game changer because it adds 2,400 new professionals, and which Boulanger says is about 30% to 40% more people in the commercial sector there. (adriano.marchese@wsj.com)
