CSC, a global in technology solutions and services,
announced that it has signed a contract with ArcelorMittal to provide
information technology (IT) infrastructure managed services.
The agreement provides the framework for common and
country-specific agreements by the local entities of each party, and will
become effective upon the signing of the different accession agreements.
The contract has a five-year base with two two-year
extension options. Financial terms were not disclosed. Services are expected to
commence in the fourth quarter 2011 (the third quarter of CSC’s fiscal year
2012).
All of the agreements are subject to regulatory and other
approvals and notifications, including consultation of relevant workers
councils.
CSC services are designed to manage
ArcelorMittal’s European IT services and to enhance infrastructure service
quality, deliver new solutions, improve workforce efficiency and reduce ongoing
costs.
CSC will provide ArcelorMittal with enterprise infrastructure services (application and web hosting,
datacenter, storage, mainframe, business continuity and disaster recovery) and
workplace infrastructure services (desktop, network, communication and collaboration,
print, security and helpdesk support).
We are confident that CSC will demonstrate to be the
right choice for ArcelorMittal, not only because of its technical competences
and global footprint, but also because of its ability and willingness to
provide a career to our people and to improve our Infrastructure landscape in
Europe,” said Davinder Chugh, member of the Group Management Board, Responsible
for Shared Services, ArcelorMittal.
CSC’s work will involve all ArcelorMittal’s Western and
Eastern Europe IT operations. Under the terms of the agreement, approximately
240 employees will potentially transition to CSC during the second half of
2011.
We are excited for the opportunity to work with
ArcelorMittal, the world’s leading steel company, to support their mission to
drive efficiencies across their business and better serve clients worldwide,”
said Michael W. Laphen, chairman, president and chief executive officer, CSC.
