CSC bags new IT outsourcing contract worth $800 million from BAE Systems



CSC has signed a new information technology
(IT) outsourcing agreement with global defense and security company, BAE

value is up to $160 million per year.


Through this new agreement, CSC provides IT
services in support of 11 BAE Systems businesses operating in over 100

evolve, CSC’s expertise and support in delivering highly competitive, value for
money services across our business in support of our strategic and operational
objectives will be invaluable,” said Dean McCumiskey, BAE Systems global
chief information officer.


Under the new agreement, CSC will deliver
IT services including service desk, collaborative services, end user compute,
mainframe, physical/virtual servers, storage and networking, service request
fulfilment and project services and application maintenance and support.


“This fourth generation IT outsourcing
agreement recognizes CSC’s ability for delivering an excellent service,
providing cost efficiencies as well as innovative technology-enabled solutions
to complex business challenges,” said Andy Williams, president of CSC‘s Northern
European operations.
