history
Computer Sciences Corporation was founded in April 1959 by Roy Nutt , Fletcher Jones and Bob Patrick. In 2008, CSC moved its headquarters from El Segundo , where the company was founded, to Annandale. John M. Lawrie has been President and CEO of the company since February 2012. CSC is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol CSC .
In May 2015, CSC announced that it would split into two independent companies. CSC US Public Sector will look after the public sector in the USA with around 14,000 employees, CSC Global Commercial with around 51,000 employees will look after international business activities and corporate customers. The division was completed in Q4 / 2015. In 2016, the company's headquarters were relocated to Tysons Corner .
CSC in Europe
In Europe, CSC had annual sales of USD 4.3 billion in fiscal 2005. For fiscal year 2008, the Europe division reported annual sales of USD 4,824.6 million.
Until 2014 there were several individual companies in Germany : CSC Deutschland Services GmbH (focus on outsourcing), CSC Deutschland Solutions GmbH (focus on consulting and system integration, previous name: CSC Ploenzke AG ) and CSC Deutschland Akademie GmbH (focus on human capital consulting). These were merged to form CSC Deutschland GmbH . The German headquarters are in Wiesbaden .
In 2000, what was then CSC Ploenzke AG and DePfa Bank (today Aareal Bank ) founded the joint venture Innovative Banking Solutions AG, which developed a system for mortgage banks based on SAP.
CSC was the official sponsor of the professional cycling team Team CSC until the end of 2008 .
Proximity to secret services
According to US court records, between 2003 and 2006, CSC helped the Central Intelligence Agency organize camouflaged prisoner flights to transfer terrorist suspects (so-called black-site transports).
According to the results of the Süddeutsche Zeitung in November 2013, the CSC subsidiary has received more than 100 orders from German ministries since 2009 with a total value of 25.5 million euros, including for the state Trojan , the De-Mail project and the national weapons register . The company works closely with the US intelligence service NSA .
At the beginning of March 2015, the German federal states of Hamburg, Bremen, Schleswig-Holstein and Saxony-Anhalt announced that they would not be re-entering into the three-year framework agreement worth 15 million euros for consulting and management services in electronic administration with CSC. The federal states had previously included no-spy clauses in their IT procurement guidelines. In an interview, a company spokesman made it clear that CSC had lost the tender because it had not submitted the most economical offer. In addition, the German CSC companies act strictly in accordance with German law and do not comply with requests to pass on customer data under the USA PATRIOT Act .
