CSC SOFTWARE PROCESSES 2.4 MILLION LIFE INSURANCE POLICIES FOR AEGON DIRECT MARKETING SERVICES, INC.


EL SEGUNDO, Calif., Sept. 4, 2003 - Computer Sciences Corporation (NYSE: CSC) announced today that AEGON Direct Marketing Services, Inc. has converted 2.4 million policies to CSC's FUTUREfirst, completing one of the life insurance industry's largest conversions to a new administrative system.

AEGON Direct Marketing Services (ADMS), one of the largest U.S. direct marketers of insurance products and part of the global AEGON Group, used FUTUREfirst in one of its sites to consolidate 31 older systems into one fully integrated system used by the company's call center, marketing groups and claims administration operations. CSC's FUTUREfirst uses object-oriented, relational database technology to support and automate all aspects of the insurance business process - from product development to underwriting, billing, collection and claims.

"This conversion to FUTUREfirst has simplified our information technology infrastructure, and by integrating our workflow and core processing systems, we now have an environment that is improving both customer service and call center productivity," said Brian A. Smith, executive vice president and chief operating officer, ADMS. "FUTUREfirst's advanced architecture offers more flexibility than any system we've seen, and it will enable us to get new products to market quickly and cost effectively."

"CSC and ADMS have worked together to complete one of the life insurance industry's most extensive systems replacement and integration projects," said Mike Risley, president of the Life and Health Division of CSC's Financial Services Group. "This important investment positions ADMS for growth, and by simplifying the company's IT infrastructure, FUTUREfirst will greatly reduce the time and effort required to enhance the system or add new software in the future."
