CSC History
1950s 1960s 1970s 1980s 1990s Today
Over 40 years ago, two young
computer analysts working in the
aerospace industry saw the
opportunity for a new kind of
business: providing computer
manufacturers with the complex
programs known as assemblers,
compilers, and operating systems
that made it easier to use the computers, thereby
expanding the potential markets for the products.
Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC) Formed
In April 1959, Roy Nutt and Fletcher
Jones, both in their late 20s, formed
Computer Sciences Corporation with
$100 and a contract from Honeywell
to develop a business-language
compiler called FACT. Assembling a
small staff of talented people, CSC
soon gained a reputation for
innovative design and high-quality
work. Through its work for numerous computer
manufacturers and other large computer users, CSC
developed more systems software than any other
computer services company in the industry. CSC went
public in 1963 and was listed the following year on the
Pacific and American stock exchanges, becoming the first
software company to be listed on a national exchange.
Five years later, the company again brought new stature
to the emerging software/services industry when it
became the first software company to be listed on the
New York Stock Exchange.
Turning Point
By 1964, annual revenues totaled $4
million and employees numbered
230. At this point, the founders -
joined by William R. Hoover, who
would eventually become CSC's
chairman and CEO - made a series
of decisions that changed the nature
of the company and launched its
rapid growth.
The three executives decided to expand CSC's markets by
serving users, rather than manufacturers of computers.
They determined that CSC could provide users with
technical services to support the development and
operation of computer-based information systems.
Federal Services
In 1970, CSC formed the Systems
Division to provide such services as
information system design,
communication systems engineering,
and consulting in management and
environmental sciences for the
federal government. By focusing on
expanding the company's capabilities
in new technologies and
understanding customers' requirements, CSC quickly
became a major supplier of information technology (IT)
services, a leading integrator of computer and
communications systems, and a premier developer of
custom software. It also became, and remains today, one
of the largest computer-services companies in the U.S.
federal government market.
Commercial Services
In the mid-1980s, CSC's management saw strong new
commercial markets emerging for its services in the areas
of systems integration and the management of computer
and communications facilities.
The early 1990s marked CSC's
entrance into the IT outsourcing
market with the award of a $3 billion
contract from General Dynamics -
one of the first and largest
outsourcing awards in the industry.
Since then, the company has
expanded its outsourcing offerings to
include Web and application hosting
and business process outsourcing in a wide array of
industries such as financial services, healthcare,
chemicals, and consumer goods and services.
CSC Today
CSC has transformed the $100 with which its founders
established the company into annual revenues of more
than $11.4 billion and more than 65,000 employees in
locations worldwide.
CSC is now a member of the Fortune
500 and offers an unparalleled scope
of services ranging from consulting in
the strategic uses of information
technology, to systems design,
development, and integration, to
outsourcing. And yet, while much has
changed about CSC throughout its 40-
year history, one constant has remained: CSC's laser-like focus on working
collaboratively with clients to develop the most innovative
technology solutions that meet their business needs.

two decades has been through
acquisition and outsourcing - in fact,
more than half of our current staff
joined CSC in this way. Six of the 12

reached their current positions
through promotions, including Paul Cofoni, president of

A large number of our current staff joined CSC through an
acquisition or outsourcing. Here's what a few of them
have to say about CSC.
Henry Dinunzio
Civil Group - Government
Enterprise Services
2.5 years with CSC
Joining CSC was one of the best opportunities I have
found for advancing my career. Within a year after joining
CSC, I was able to move into an account management
position and became directly involved in growing that
business area over the past two years. CSC provides
challenging work, the opportunity to use my creativity,
and a very supportive management structure.

Lisa Cunningham
Defense Group - Strategic
Business Operations
17 years with CSC
About half of the folks with whom I work on a daily basis,
myself included, joined CSC through an acquisition or
outsourcing agreement. CSC understands how to make an
acquisition work for all parties involved, and provides a
wealth of opportunities for folks who want to step up and
contribute. So far, all of my career aspirations have been
met at CSC. I receive unique assignments and I'm able to
apply my diverse background and skills.

Mo Moeller
Defense Group -
Army Programs
5 years with CSC
Joining CSC was the best career move I ever made. I
served in the U.S. Army for 26 years and in private
industry for three years prior to joining CSC. I have had
many transition experiences, and my transition to CSC
was the best one ever. I am very pleased with the
advancement opportunities provided to me, as well as the
recognition I've received for my performance.

7 years with CSC
Working for CSC has offered me expanded opportunities.
Immediately after joining CSC, I felt the broadening of
options available to me. I've been able to explore many of
these, including a transfer overseas. I enjoy my
interaction with people and learning about the amazing
things CSC does all over the world.

What can I really expect during this process?
We want you to become a productive member of the CSC team as soon as
possible, and we are committed to communicating with you frequently to help you
through this process. Many of the people you'll be joining at CSC have come to us
through acquisitions. They are sensitive to your situation and will work hard to
help you through this change. Will there be layoffs?
We expect there will be consolidation and reductions from combining overlapping
corporate, support, and line activities. We do not know the scope of those
activities now, but the integration teams within the first 90 days after the merger
will be working to make those determinations. As decisions are reached, we will
share information with employees.
How quickly can we expect to see reductions?
No firm plans have been developed to date. We do anticipate some level of staff
reductions.
Will any employees be required to relocate?
We do not anticipate any relocations out of metropolitan areas at this time.
Will CSC keep all of the DynCorp business units?
New organizational structure and reporting lines will unfold as a natural result of
integration activities. Planning for these activities will begin in the next few weeks.
Some business units will be absorbed into CSC, while others may remain
autonomous.
Will the DynCorp name change? Will the DynCorp brand and tagline
change?
Yes. As a part of CSC, DynCorp will adopt CSC's brand and tagline.
Are there operational or cultural similarities between the two companies?
Yes. Both CSC and DynCorp have a long history of distinguished service to the
U.S. government. Both companies share a dedication to customer satisfaction and
ethical conduct, and concern for employee development.
What should I do if a reporter contacts me?
Please refer any media inquiries to Chuck Taylor, DynCorp, 703.261.4622, or to
Jamie Sullivan, CSC, 703.641.2588.

CSC in Kabul: Helping Revive the American Embassy
The following article was taken from CSC's Federal Sector
employee Web site.
Civil Group's Foreign Affairs
Operations has supported the
Department of State over the past
ten years by supplying and upgrading
the unclassified IT infrastructure at
Embassies and Consulates worldwide.
The A Logical Modernization
Approach (ALMA) staff of 28
engineers and support personnel
supplies these services to the Department and has visited
posts in over 180 countries. During this time, installation
teams have been able to see the best and worst of the
world. Little did one team realize that they would be
asked to enter an active war zone in January of 2002.
In late December 2001, word came down to the ALMA
office that the State Department would be reopening the
U.S. Embassy in Kabul, Afghanistan. The Embassy had
been evacuated years ago as a result of the war between
the Afghans and the Soviets. The entire Embassy had
been compromised and was in a state of disaster,
including the building utilities and infrastructure - water,
power, telephones and computer systems. The target
date for implementation was set for January 9, 2002.
Enter the CSC ALMA engineering team of Rob Kilpatrick
and Tom Perron, based at the U.S. Consulate in Frankfurt,
Germany.
After delays with the support flight, and a side trip to
Pakistan, Rob and Tom finally arrived to find the disaster
that was the American Embassy. They were welcomed
their first night at the Embassy with mortar fire into the
compound.
Rob compares their arrival to entering a time warp.
"Everyone knows you can't smoke in government
buildings anymore," he says. "But cigarette butts were
still sitting in ashtrays from 13 years ago." The eeriness
was amplified by old magazines, calendars, and photos of
people who had hastily evacuated the building in 1989.
On cafeteria tables sat plates, napkins, utensils and even
petrified food.
From Inoperative Shell to Functioning Server
Computer equipment that hadn't been destroyed during
the evacuation process or looted by locals was obsolete.
Rob says, "The embassy was evacuated prior to the
advent of desktops. People were still working with the old
dumb terminals. We basically began with an empty shell." Upon arrival, none of the 30 government representatives
assigned to the embassy were connected to the
Washington-based network. Rob and Tom's first task was
to assist the Very Small Aperture Terminal (VSAT)
subcontractor in assembling and mounting the dish.
They then moved on to the computer room, installing the
servers, routers, switches, cabling and individual
workstations. By the end of the first week, they had
installed, configured, and activated 25 workstations. They
successfully sent their first e-mail message to Washington
just 5 days after their arrival.
Throughout the installation, the team worked 16-hour
days, seven days a week, routinely dealing with
intermittent power (which failed up to 15 times per day)
and a filthy environment.
After completing the installation, Tom returned to
Frankfurt and Rob stayed on to provide IT support for the
installed systems.
Rob soon received a request for another type of support.
The Super Bowl was fast approaching and the ability to
watch it was in high demand. A satellite dish was
purchased from the locals. Rob says, "Since the Taliban
didn't allow television, they didn't have dishes either.
Once the Taliban left, they took old aluminum cans,
pounded them flat, and braised them together to create
satellite dishes. It was ingenious." A decoder and satellite
receiver sent from the embassy in Islamabad enabled
Embassy and Marine personnel to tune into the Armed
Forces Network and watch the game.
When asked about his greatest challenge, Rob says
without pause, "Staying clean and eating the food." Living
conditions were less than hygienic. A total of 140 people
were living together with two working bathrooms.
Constant pipe repairs were required and showers were
scarce.
From a technical side, Rob says that keeping the servers
up and running through all the power outages was the
most difficult task.
A Job Well Done and More to Come
After a long, tiring, and highly successful 33-day trip, Rob
finally departed Kabul and returned to his home base in
Frankfurt, Germany. Fernando Burbano, the Department
of State's Chief Information Officer, awarded Certificates
of Appreciation to Rob and Tom, and they've received
numerous kudos from offices throughout the Department
for their professionalism and "can do" approach under the
most challenging conditions.

CSC, HDTV, and the Shuttle at T-Minus Four
The following article was taken from CSC's Federal Sector
employee Web site.
At T-minus six seconds the main
engines of the space shuttle
Discovery ignited. It was Thursday,
October 29, 1998 - a blue-sky, redletter
Cape Canaveral day. Senator
and veteran astronaut John Glenn
was on board, returning to space 36
years after becoming the first
American in orbit.
That day also marked the first live high definition
television (HDTV) telecast of a news event in the United
States. At T-minus four seconds, something fell off the
shuttle. At first, many thought it to be a piece of ice. And
Discovery blasted off as if nothing had happened.
Within minutes, NASA engineers at the Cape were
reviewing the extraordinarily detailed HDTV videos of a
square white panel falling off the tail and hitting the
nozzle of main engine No. 1. It was the drogue chute door
- - a panel just below the shuttle's tail rudder housing a
parachute used to decelerate the shuttle on landing.
CSC is an integral part of NASA's HDTV project team.
Sandra "Sandy" George, principal engineer in the CSC
PrISMS digital television project office, recalls that
Thursday as "the day HDTV proved itself as a scientifically
valuable tool - better than conventional television for
capturing detail with significantly faster processing time
than film. You can see things you normally can't see with
regular television transmission."
We All Can See Clearly Now
Under the PrISMS contract, one of the most interesting
services CSC provides is the use of high definition
television to deliver space science knowledge to a vast
user community. HDTV provides crisp clear pictures and
better than CD-quality sound for NASA's scientific and
research, documentary, training, historical and education
purposes.
"We are just beginning to document all the launches and
special programs. We loan the cameras out to different
centers when they need HDTV capabilities," shares
Sandy. "CSC also provides field engineering and camera
operator support as needed.
All NASA centers have TV studios with people who
operate cameras every day. But on a case-by-case basis, we provide people to use the HDTV cameras. That's
because focus is very critical. It's important to have
someone a bit more skilled than with normal cameras,
and we have the skill."
Earth-based vs. Space-based HDTV
Three different HDTV cameras have gone on three
different shuttle missions. "We've had some problems
with the cameras," admits Sandy. "The cameras have a
chip with an array of light sensitive cells. These cells
degrade somewhat, like between 5 and 15 pixels per day,
probably because of space radiation."
To investigate ways to solve the problem, bring the costs
down, and make space-based HDTV more feasible, Sandy
and her colleagues went to Japan to work with Sony
engineers and scientists in July this year.
Getting Images from A to B
Sandy George's main responsibility is the
telecommunications aspect of DTV - "getting things from
location A to B," as she puts it. For years, NASA's
television signals were limited to one per transponder.
When challenged to design a system where one satellite
transponder could carry multiple video channels, she
developed a unique design allowing up to six digital video
channels per transponder. Her work will allow NASA to
greatly expand system capabilities, without incurring
additional expenditure for costly transponder circuits.
The Upcoming Network Hog
Sandy and colleagues are ramping up for the early 2003
launch of the STS-114 mission. Once again, they are
struggling with getting images from location A to B.
"We hope to actually bring images live from the Space
Station down. But it's very difficult with HDTV. The
images are a network hog," she admits. "We haven't done
a great deal of transmission on the network, but we've
run a significant number of tests. It's one of our big
projects and will require huge amounts of network
bandwidth."
For the project to work, the images must go through a
special space station data multiplexer. "Once they are
relayed back to Earth, we will be responsible for picking
out all the bits that the data multiplexer adds to distribute
the images," Sandy shares. "We've run a lot of tests this
summer in which we simulated being on the Space
Station. It's been an exciting breakthrough project."

USS Cole Returns to the Sea With Technical Help
From CSC
The following article was taken from csc.com.
In April, the USS Cole guided missile
destroyer returned to the high seas
and rejoined the United States
Navy's Atlantic Fleet after a
successful 14-month effort to repair
damage from a terrorist attack. While
the Cole was being repaired in
Pascagoula, Miss., CSC ship design
experts conducted damage
assessments and drafted recommendations that are now
being used to help increase the survivability of U.S. Navy
vessels.
On Oct. 12, 2000, while the Cole was making a seemingly
routine refueling stop in Aden, Yemen, a small boat laden
with explosives was detonated beside the ship, blasting a
gaping hole in its side. Tragically, 17 sailors lost their
lives and 39 more suffered injuries. Later that year, the
Cole returned to the United States atop a Norwegian
heavy transport ship and eventually made its way to
Ingalls Shipyard in Pascagoula to undergo extensive
repairs.
Immediately upon the Cole's return to the U.S., CSC's
Lee Fuglestad, in support of the Naval Sea Systems
Command's Ship Design Manager, spent three weeks
aboard the USS Cole investigating the nature and extent
of the damage to the ship.
"It was quite a sight," says Fuglestad, recalling his first
glimpse of the crippled destroyer. "To see the ship was
very sobering. My job took on a new perspective. It hit
home to me that we needed to try to help the sailors out
as much as we can when designing and building these
ships."
CSC was charged with the specific task of collecting
damage assessment data from the USS Cole for the
purpose of drafting recommendations for improving the
future survivability of Navy ships. The chief goal was to
apply lessons learned from the tragedy to future ships in
the Navy's Arleigh Burke class (also known as DDG 51, or
guided missile destroyers) as well as other vessels in the
fleet, where appropriate.
Victor Cusumano, who managed the project for CSC,
summarizes the challenge, "We looked at what happened
and helped write the changes with regards to how they
build the ships." Experience and Contacts Come In Handy
Although advanced computer-based tools were used to
analyze the damage, Fuglestad chiefly relied upon his
observational abilities, drawing on his broad experience in
naval ship design. "Instead of high technology, it was
mostly reviewing drawings to see how the damage
affected individual components and systems. I had
worked on the Arleigh Burke class for eight years, so I
was pretty familiar with the ship - but for areas I was
unsure of, I knew who at the Naval Sea Systems
Command I could talk to."
As part of his assessment, Fuglestad participated in the
delicate task of interviewing Navy personnel who were
aboard the Cole during the bombing to get first-hand
accounts of what transpired during and after the attack.
Information gathered from the interviews was extremely
helpful in piecing together how the ship and its systems
performed.
Following the on-site damage assessment, Fuglestad
returned to his office in the Washington D.C. area to
coordinate the compilation of a detailed survivability
analysis of how the Cole performed after the attack. In
addition to documenting the damage to the Cole, the
survivability report included a list of recommendations for
improvements to DDG 51 class ship systems.
The Navy has adopted many of CSC recommendations,
including redesigned dewatering systems and new fuel
monitoring components. Cusumano says, "Now, they
incorporate lessons learned from the Cole and are looking
at other classes of ships and assessing what could have
happened."
In addition to Fuglestad and Cusumano, Jose Umeres and
Richard Kramer were key members of the CSC team that
saw the project to its successful completion.
CSC Continues a Distinguished Legacy of Supporting
Defense Programs
CSC has enjoyed a rich history of involvement with US
Navy projects, ranging from programs such as software
engineering support services to live fire evaluation. For
example, CSC helped develop the software for the
advanced AEGIS combat systems found on the Navy's
DDG 51 class destroyers.
In late April, a battle-ready USS Cole returned to its home
port in Norfolk, Va., with two new main engines, 550 tons
of new steel, and a plaque bearing the names of the
sailors who lost their lives.
For Fuglestad, his experience on the Cole was a far cry
from his usual routine. "When you work in an office all the
time, you kind of get detached from what you are
designing. After the attack on the Cole, you realize that
the crews on these ships really are in harm's way and we
have to give them the best ship that we can." © Copyright 2002 Computer Sciences Corporation Home | csc.com | Ask a Question | Site Map

CSC IRS PRIME Team Completes Its First Project
Customer Communications 2001 delivers major
upgrade of IRS telephony infrastructure
The following article was taken from CSC's Federal Sector
employee Web site.
"We are delighted with the final product. As you know,
many large systems like this never get deployed
successfully. This one is working, and it's helping the IRS
to better answer calls from both English and Spanishspeaking
taxpayers. It's also providing much greater
efficiencies in our telephone operations."
Jim Williams, IRS Deputy Associate Commissioner,
Program Management
"From the standpoint of the IRS, we have already
successfully reassigned employees who were screening
default calls."
Rick Skorny, IRS Director of Tax Administration
Modernization
"It's one of the largest call center operations in the world,
and CSC has delivered a major integration job. We
brought together multiple companies, multiple existing
systems. We tested it thoroughly, turned it on
operationally - and did not skip a beat."
Kevin Kelley, CSC Project Director, Customer
Communications 2001
If you were among the 50 million US taxpayers calling the
IRS recently with an inquiry about your tax refund check,
you probably didn't realize that behind the efficiency with
which your call was answered was a $74 million telephony
system that took the CSC IRS PRIME team more than two
years to bring together.
Customer Communications 2001 (CC01), as the project
was called, was the first modernized system to roll out
under the 15-year IRS PRIME Modernization Program led
by CSC. "Fortunately," says Jim Williams, IRS Deputy
Associate Commissioner, Program Management, "the
system was delivered just in time to answer the millions
of additional calls regarding the advance tax refunds. That
was good news for us." Thanks to the upgraded system,
the IRS was successfully able to handle this jump in call
volume - a virtual "midyear filing season" - created by
the $40 billion in tax rebates.
More Efficient, More User-Friendly
What exactly did CC01 deliver? Here is a quick look:
l A wholesale upgrade of the IRS telephony
infrastructure across 26 US locations, including consolidation and integration of systems for greater
efficiency.
l Installation of new, modernized systems in three
locations: Fresno, California; Ogden, Utah; and
Atlanta, Georgia.
l New bilingual voice recognition capability, allowing
callers to get information in both Spanish and
English. "The IRS can now reach a whole new
segment of people," says Rick Skorny, IRS Director
of Tax Administration Modernization.
l A vastly improved screening system, enabling calls
to be routed more efficiently, reducing waiting time
for callers and cutting down the IRS's staffing
requirements. "The system has provided immediate
impact," says Kevin Kelley, CSC's Project Director
for CC01, "The IRS has already been able to
reassign 40 full-time employees to other work."
Adds Skorny, "It used to be that 15 to 20 percent
of calls went to a default screener, to be routed to
the right customer representative who could handle
the question. That's dropped in half since we
deployed CC01" - a significant metric measuring
the success of the project.
l Capacity to handle a greater volume of calls using
fewer personnel, thanks to efficiencies in the
system, better infrastructure, a better menu
selection and improved call routing.
A Learning Experience for All Sides
At the peak of the project, the CC01 team had more than
140 people supporting it, including employees from PRIME
partners CSC, Unisys, Logicon, SAIC, IBM, and KPMG;
and subcontractors Avaya, TRW, and Accenture. As the
prime contractor, CSC envisioned the management
structure, working with PRIME teammates to bring
together a high-powered team. Says Kelley, "We provided
program control, logistics, site support, configuration
management, quality control, and testing. Because this
was the first time we worked together as a team to
support the IRS, it was a major learning experience for all
of us."
Williams agrees, adding "CSC really pulled together a
good partnership, uniting the team around delivery. In
the process, I think they learned a lot about what it's
going to take to be successful on IRS programs in the
future. In fact, we all learned a lot of lessons, and we're
still learning them as we go into implementation."
Those lessons will help CSC and its PRIME partners work
even more closely with the IRS in the future, to reduce
cycle time and bring greater efficiencies to the series of
major projects planned as part of the IRS Business
Systems Modernization Program, which is poised to bring
continual improvements in tax administration and
customer service to the IRS.
"It was a difficult road to get where we are," admits
Kelley. "But we're the first ones out the door - and we've
blazed a trail." © Copyright 2002 Computer Sciences Corporation Home | csc.com | Ask a Question | Site Map
