CSC opens world-class enterprise service desk center in Malaysia


Facility to serve as CSC’s default global English language offshore location

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, 21 October 2008 – CSC (NYSE: CSC) announced today the official opening of its Kuala Lumpur Enterprise Service Desk operation. This Malaysia center is one of the most advanced service desks in the region and provides help desk support to CSC clients around the world.

The center expands CSC’s World Sourcing global delivery capability in Asia and joins an integrated network of more than 50 global delivery centers, including locations in India, Vietnam and China. These operations provide complete coverage of all CSC clients’ current requirements and have been designed to anticipate and support future business needs. The Asia centers provide infrastructure, applications and business process outsourcing services while simultaneously offering clients a variety of language and technology skills. Best-in-class tools and processes permit seamless movement of work between and among the centers.

The Kuala Lumpur facility has been providing help desk services to regional clients since 2001 and started supporting some of the company’s key global clients in 2003. The center was selected for upgrade and expansion based on its solid track record in service delivery, its strategic location and access to a large and qualified local talent pool.

The operation is now one of the most advanced CSC service desks in the world. The upgrade enables the facility to handle approximately 20 percent of CSC’s global service volume. The new command center, built specifically to monitor global service desk activities, is a cutting-edge, active monitoring center with 16 Symon-based communication display boards capable of monitoring and intercepting call traffic from any CSC enterprise service desk, regardless of location.

“I am pleased to announce the official opening of this upgraded center and the availability of new world-class services in this region,” said CSC Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer Michael W. Laphen. “Strengthening our global delivery framework and expanding our presence in Asia are key elements of our multi-year growth initiative. Malaysia is a strategic location for us, and we’re committed to developing and expanding our capabilities here.”

The Kuala Lumpur center operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and it employs 225 onsite agents capable of delivering service in eight different languages: Korean, Japanese, Thai, Mandarin, Cantonese, Bahasa Indonesia, Bahasa Malaysia and English. CSC expects the workforce to double to 450 agents in 2009 and grow to 750 by mid-2010. Achieving these growth targets would rank the center among the largest technical service desks in the region.
