CSC Inks $413M TDC
Outsourcing Contact
May 13, 2008
Computer
Sciences Corporation has signed a new, seven-year information technology
(IT) applications outsourcing agreement with TDC, the largest
telecommunications company in Denmark. The contract is valued at
approximately $413 million.
CSC has supported TDC since 2003. The new agreement follows last year’s
$330 million, seven-year award, which expanded the scope of
infrastructure services CSC was providing. Under the new contract, which
substantially expands CSC’s application services support, CSC will
manage TDC’s legacy application portfolio, providing application
development and maintenance services for more than 500 applications and
supporting approximately 17,000 users.
As part of the new agreement, approximately 220 TDC employees will
transition to CSC in June.
"We already have an excellent relationship with CSC in several areas and
are pleased to expand it further to include the management of our legacy
application portfolio,” said Jørgen Jakobsen, TDC chief information
officer. “The new agreement will enable us to further modernize and
consolidate our applications so they deliver the capabilities our
business requires.”
“We are delighted to grow our relationship with TDC,” said Guy Hains,
president of CSC’s European Group. “During the past five years our
support has continued to evolve and provide enhanced value. Signing this
new agreement is testament to that fact. We look forward to
collaborating on this critical program and continuing to serve TDC in
ways that provide the agility, innovation and performance the company
needs to support its business agenda.” |
