Commercial Sector: In the Business of Service

We drive efficiency, agility and growth in collaboration with the world’s leading companies in every industry.

Educational Testing Service (ETS) Putting Educational Innovation to the Test
The world’s largest administrator of standardized tests, ETS currently relies on CSC cloud solutions to access on-demand computing power that has improved its ability to handle peak workloads, reduce infrastructure costs and expand into emerging markets. While delivering support that includes consulting and IT security services, we also worked with ETS and computer maker Lenovo on a study to find out whether computer-based testing during summer breaks can improve students’ knowledge retention and achievement. This research effort may ultimately help educators harness technology to mitigate learning loss among elementary and middle-school students, reduce re-teaching and increase schools’ operational efficiency.

Public Sector: Governed by Commitment

We innovate to enhance stakeholder service and increase mission effectiveness cost-effectively.

NASA Johnson Space Center Launching Cost-Effective Sustainability
When Johnson Space Center (JSC) needed assistance in complying with the NASA sustainability policy as well as sustainability-related Executive Orders, we helped outline a path to more sustainable energy management practices. Through this project, we helped JSC develop a portfolio of projects exploiting geothermal and solar energy as well as new passive-solar lighting systems that magnify natural light. Our energy management solution has delivered cost savings, including $62,000 in electricity savings annually; improved energy security; and enhanced facility quality while helping JSC support NASA sustainability goals of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and lowering energy intensity.

UK Royal Mail Group Delivering for Underserved Communities
When Royal Mail sought to boost agility and avoid the costs associated with conventional desktop technology, we helped the organization migrate approximately 30,000 employee email accounts to the cloud. In addition, to ensure the ongoing usefulness of its legacy equipment, we helped Royal Mail prepare and donate nearly 3,000 PCs and laptops to schools and charities in underserved communities in Malawi, Namibia, Ethiopia and Chile. As a result of this collaboration, Royal Mail was able to dispose of redundant equipment in an environmentally responsible manner while also strengthening disadvantaged communities in developing areas.

Thought Leadership: Sustaining Innovations

We identify the latest technology trends and the best new ideas to help create sustainable client enterprises that deliver results and value for every stakeholder — not just today, but well into the future.

Cloud
The more agile the enterprise, the better it can respond to change, and the more enduring its success will be. From assessment to optimization, we enable the organizations we serve to harness the tremendous flexibility and agility offered by today’s cloud computing solutions. With CSC BizCloudTM, CloudComputeTM and other offerings, we help our clients cut energy consumption and infrastructure costs while enabling them to react quickly to market shifts and better connect employees and their smart devices to the enterprise. In recognition of our cloud capabilities, CSC was named a “Leader” this year in the very first Gartner Magic Quadrant for Public Cloud Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS).

Big Data
Organizations can position for long-term influence and growth by making the most of the massive amounts of enterprise data now available to them with the rise of social media. At CSC we continually identify ways to recapture, analyze, use, store and maximize the strategic potential of this complex, critically important intelligence about customers, the enterprise and the marketplace. With innovative big data and analytics solutions, we focus on helping our clients achieve better and faster information delivery that enables well-informed decisions in conjunction with a strong data foundation.

ClimatEdge™ is an innovative new suite of offerings that exploits big data from NASA, NOAA and other public sources that, until now, was used primarily by the climate research community. ClimatEdge helps commodity traders, risk managers and analysts better leverage government satellite, modeling and Earth observation data. By exploiting this previously untapped data, ClimatEdge provides the business insights and knowledge needed to minimize risk and make better-informed financial decisions.

Cybersecurity
With the rise of “hacktivism” and the increase in nation-sponsored cyberattacks, organizations are focusing on new measures to address today’s escalating threat environment. We offer flexible options for the advanced malware protection, global threat intelligence, situational awareness, and governance risk and compliance support our clients need to safeguard critical assets, protect brand equity, and manage risks to a sustainable and healthy enterprise — now and in the future.

Conclusion

By helping our clients move ahead with their visions for change and success, we also realize advances in our own business. And working with them to explore and implement forward-thinking ideas can help create brighter futures for individuals and their communities. When organizations with energy and commitment join forces to collaborate, we achieve much more progress together than we ever could apart.
