Fairfax, Virginia — CGI Group Inc. (NYSE: GIB), a leading provider of information technology and business process services, today announced its Loan Modification Service™, a business processing service to provide banks and loan servicers with the capacity to handle high volumes of loan modifications rapidly and consistently.

The new Homeowners Affordability and Stability Plan qualifies an estimated 3 – 4 million at-risk American homeowners for mortgage loan modification to prevent foreclosure.

"Many financial institutions and loan servicers need help to deal with the surging volume of loan modifications in a timely and appropriate manner," said Donna Morea, President of CGI, U.S. "CGI’s Loan Modification Service helps financial institutions meet these challenges and keep homeowners in their homes, while providing the accuracy, transparency and accountability required in today’s environment."

CGI’s Loan Modification Service delivers the complete infrastructure and support resources necessary to quickly service large volumes of loan modification requests, minimizing startup time and capital investment using a benefits-funded approach. The service, provided out of CGI’s U.S. business process service centers, includes experienced mortgage and credit staff supported by CGI’s industry-leading Enterprise Credit suite of business applications and delivers every aspect of loan modification operations, including loan analysis, customer interaction and on-going loan modification monitoring. CGI’s highly automated approach uses optimization techniques and advanced decision analytics capabilities to maximize portfolio value, and minimize losses and recidivism.
