We’re delighted to share the fantastic news that CGI UK’s service desk has secured the prestigious SDI 5-star ‘World Class’ status for an impressive twelfth consecutive year.
After completing three days of rigorous auditing by our SDI Certification team, CGI’s service desk once again achieved the highest score ever awarded in the Service Desk Certification (SDC)programme– a remarkable 99.99%!
The SDC programme is the world’s only standards-based accreditation designed specifically for IT support and service desks. Recognised globally as the gold standard in ITSM excellence, SDC provides a rigorous, independent assessment of people, processes, leadership, and performance against SDI’s internationally acclaimed Best Practice Standard. Achieving Certification isn’t just about compliance — it’s about proving that your Service Desk delivers measurable business value, exceptional customer experience, and a culture of continual improvement. For ambitious IT leaders, SDC has become the ultimate benchmark of quality and credibility, and a powerful way to demonstrate that your service desk is operating at a truly world-class level.
