CPU has a strong reputation in Quebec as a superior provider of services and is supported by a talented, dedicated team. With a solid customer base in Quebec in key markets, such as retail and the public sector, CPU has a values-based culture and supports a people-first approach through compelling leadership.

Through this collaboration, both companies believe they can grow together and create a more robust business.

Building the "Store of the Future"
As we look toward the future of retail, the possibilities for modernizing store operations are endless. We imagine a store where dynamic pricing and shelf-edge communication are instantly updated, and mobile associates can effortlessly manage tasks with real-time data. With AI-enabled surveillance and edge computing, retailers can boost security, gain insights, and improve overall store efficiency. Technologies like RFID, evolving self-checkout systems, and modern point-of-sale solutions are reshaping the shopping experience, while autonomous stores and omnichannel order pick-up streamline convenience for customers. A connected, network-driven store is no longer a dream—it's the reality we’re building today.
A year later into Greater Together
Last year, Compugen Inc. proudly announced its definitive purchase agreement to acquire CPU Service d'ordinateur inc. and its subsidiary C.P.U. Design Inc., collectively known as CPU. In a nod to the strong brand CPU has built over the years, Compugen retains the name CPU, heralding a new era as "CPU, a Compugen Group of Companies."
"The integration of the teams has been a welcoming and seamless experience. From day one, employees have felt supported and empowered to contribute their expertise, fostering a collaborative environment where everyone is encouraged to grow and thrive. It immediately felt like home, as if we had been working together for years. This sense of unity not only strengthens our internal bonds but also empowers new team members to elevate our customers to even higher levels of success and performance. The 'Greater Together' spirit is truly felt by all, driving us to deliver stronger outcomes for our clients."
—Annie Letourneau , Sales Director, Enterprise, Compugen Inc.
Compugen and CPU are committed to delivering experience by design. We are curious and collaborative to achieve great things we can do together with our combined expertise. Let's embark on this journey with confidence and optimism, knowing that we are always Greater Together.
