New Delhi, Oct. 15, 2008 – CSC (NYSE:CSC) announced today that Michael W. Laphen, Chairman, President and CEO of CSC, began a six-day visit to India, where he will be sharing the company’s strategic growth plans.

In addition, he will inaugurate the Noida campus, the largest CSC campus in India, and tour CSC locations in Hyderabad and Chennai.
CSC acquired Covansys in July 2007 and First Consulting Group (FCG) in January 2008, and has achieved full integration of both operations into the company’s model of delivering “One CSC” to customers and business. With the acquisitions, CSC nearly doubled its headcount in India – surpassing its annual headcount goal – and is now home to the company’s second-largest concentration of employees. CSC also achieved a 90 percent compound annual growth rate in terms of headcount in India in the last five years. The company’s fully integrated World Sourcing center in India provides end-to-end India-led global delivery to its customers worldwide, has attained 100 percent revenue growth in fiscal year 2008 and has increased its operations from four to seven locations in India.
As the Chairman, President and CEO of CSC, Mr. Michael W. Laphen is responsible for the effective execution of CSC's business plan and for ensuring operational excellence in the delivery of services to clients around the globe. CSC has approximately 90,000 employees and reported revenue of $17.1 billion for the 12 months ended July 4, 2008.
“It is a pleasure to be back in India to meet with the team and see the progress they have made in person,” said Laphen. “India is CSC’s largest world sourcing location outside the U.S. and an important part of the company’s global success. As a part of CSC’s global delivery network, our operations in India are critical to the company’s growth strategy in the Asia Pacific region and will help CSC realize our goal of ‘Delivery to the world, from around the world.’”
“We are honored to welcome our Chairman, President and CEO to our campus,” said Rajendra B. Vattikuti, President of CSC’s operations in India. “As a CSC World Sourcing center, our goal is to significantly grow our operations and be a vibrant part of the Indian IT industry.
