CSC (NYSE: CSC) today announced a five-year extension to its global
information technology (IT) outsourcing agreement with United
Technologies Corporation (NYSE: UTX). The extension adds over $1.5
billion in value to the existing contract, which now runs until December
2019. The extension also provides CSC with the immediate opportunity to
expand into new geographies with a potential new business value of an
additional $300 million.
Under the extension, CSC will continue to provide IT infrastructure
support for UTC in 22 countries, supporting 110,000 desktops as well as
UTC’s server and mainframe requirements. These services have resulted in
continued cost reductions over the course of the partnership, while
delivering high quality IT services to UTC’s businesses.
"CSC has demonstrated the technology service capabilities needed to
address our requirements, especially in our aerospace and commercial
marketplaces around the world,” said Nancy Davis, UTC Vice President and
Chief Information Officer. "We continue to rely on CSC to support the
growth of our global businesses.”
"CSC is honored to extend our long-term strategic relationship with UTC
and to be given the opportunity to expand our scope in many new
geographies,” said Russ Owen, President of CSC’s Managed Services
Sector. "This extension demonstrates the value that our IT outsourcing
services provide to our clients and reflects our continued commitment to
provide UTC the most innovative, high quality and cost-effective
services available in the market.”
The original contract was awarded to CSC in 1999 for IT infrastructure
and applications services for approximately 50,000 desktops in North
America. Since then, the partnership has continued to expand globally.
CSC currently supports 110,000 desktops in 22 countries.
