My understanding is that CGI has THE mandate for systems integration and outsourcing within the BCE family. And what does IFM really do in B2B? It oursources transaction processing which was traditionally performed internally by the client. Sounds like outsourcing to me, just under a different name. And CGI does B2B transactions already within the Interac network as one example.

Anyway, look at it from a client perspective. You are working with CGI in outsourcing and IFM in B2B transactions. When the two don't work together well (different management, internal competition between the two over client control, etc. etc. etc.), what will the client do? You got it, phone BCE. It will only take a couple of those calls to resolve that entire situation, IFM will come under the control of CGI.

Unlike you, I beleive it will happen sooner than later.
