CSC TO USE CA SOFTWARE IN 10-YEAR GLOBAL SOFTWARE LICENSE AGREEMENT; One Of The Largest Deals In CA's History

Business Wire, May 9, 1995

ISLANDIA, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 9, 1995--Computer Associates and Computer Sciences Corporation today announced a landmark 10-year software license agreement under which CSC will standardize on CA products in its outsourcing throughout the world to better manage the costs and quality of services to clients. CSC will also make CA software available for use throughout its other business groups.

The license--one of the largest in CA's history--gives CSC unprecedented flexibility to use a broad range of software for both its own processing and use by current and future clients worldwide. It also reduces CSC's software costs and dependency on other software vendors.

As part of the agreement, CSC will become an authorized reseller for up to $50 million of CA-Unicenter, the heterogeneous systems management solution for client/server computing, and CA-OpenIngres, the world's most advanced database server.

"We're excited to expand our relationship with Computer Associates," said CSC President and CEO Van B. Honeycutt. "CSC selected CA because it offers the most extensive array of superior software for mission-critical computing in the world. Our ability to offer these products to our clients will enhance our ability to compete globally."

"CSC is a leader in bringing business reengineering, technology and project management skills to commercial and federal clients, and we're delighted to have forged an agreement which marries progressive licensing and advanced technology," said CA President and COO Sanjay Kumar. "We're proud that CSC has chosen to feature CA products throughout the world."
