FALLS CHURCH, Va., Jan. 27 -- CSC (NYSE: CSC) today announced that Conseco Services, LLC of Carmel, Ind., has hired CSC to maintain and support two of its insurance administration systems. The five-year agreement enables Conseco to reduce expenses and achieve additional flexibility in the management of two large legacy applications.

CSC’s delivery framework leverages both on- and off-shore technical resources who have deep insurance industry experience and are highly trained in CSC’s intellectual property, one of the broadest portfolios in the industry, as well as in other life insurance software. CSC’s application outsourcing services include: application maintenance, development and enhancement; implementation and conversion services; upgrades and migrations; help desk; and testing.
