Renewed Contract Realigns and Extends CSC’s Relationship with Global Rail Leader

FALLS CHURCH, Va. – CSC (NYSE: CSC) announced today that it has renewed its information technology (IT) outsourcing agreement with Bombardier Transportation, an operating group of Bombardier Inc. The new seven-year, $1.2 billion (€765 million) contract, which has an incremental value of approximately $944 million (€610 million), is an extension and expansion of services that began under a 2002 contract that was valued at $700 million over seven years.

Under the new agreement, CSC will continue to provide Bombardier Transportation with a full range of infrastructure outsourcing services. These include desktop, service desk, network and application management services for more than 20,000 users at sites across 33 countries around the world. In addition, CSC will now provide overall integration for service ticket tracking and reporting, which will enable end-to-end service management across Bombardier’s IT environment.

“This renewed agreement with CSC will ensure that our employees have quality IT services and support, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year from anywhere in the world,” said André Navarri, president of Bombardier Transportation.

“We are pleased to extend our relationship with Bombardier,” said CSC Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer Michael W. Laphen. “Our global IT services expertise and legacy of experience in the manufacturing and transportation industries position us well to help Bombardier achieve its business goals.”
