Extension to long-running partnership shows manufacturer's confidence, claims
service provider's president

Car manufacturer
Ford
has extended its IT services agreement with business solutions and managed
services provider
CSC.

Under the terms of the service agreement, CSC will continue to provide
essential infrastructure and application management services for the Ford
customer service division in Europe, operating across 19 European offices,
including UK branches in the North West, West Midlands and Oxfordshire.

?This extension demonstrates Ford?s confidence in CSC to provide
mission-critical, world-class IT services,? said Gerhard Fercho, president at
CSC.

The partnership between Ford and CSC was established 15 years ago. When CSC
acquired IT services company Covansys in 2007, the scope of work expanded to
include the offshore IT services provided by Covansys to Ford of Europe and
North America.
