'''Logica plc''' was a [[Multinational corporation|multinational]] [[information technology|IT]] and [[Management consulting|management consultancy]] company headquartered in London and later [[Reading, Berkshire|Reading]], United Kingdom.

Founded in 1969, the company had offices in London and in a number of major cities across [[England]], [[Wales]] and [[Scotland]], as well as in other countries around the world.  It was responsible for many telecommunications infrastructure projects, such as the design of the [[SWIFT]] network for international money transfers, the [[Packet switching#Euronet|Euronet]] packet-switching network, and the [[Bay Area Rapid Transit]] in San Francisco.  Following the acquisition of [[CMG (company)|CMG]] in 2002, the company was known as  '''LogicaCMG''' from then until 2008, when it changed its name back to Logica.  The company's main business at that point was in providing consulting, systems integration, and IT outsourcing in both the public and private sectors.

Logica was acquired by Canada-based [[CGI Group]] in 2012<ref>{{Cite news |last=Garside |first=Juliette |date=2012-05-31 |title=Canada's CGI pays £1.7bn cash for British IT giant Logica |url=https://www.theguardian.com/business/2012/may/31/cgi-cash-deal-logica-canada |access-date=2025-01-17 |work=The Guardian |language=en-GB |issn=0261-3077}}</ref> and the Logica brand name ceased being used in 2013.
