CSC NAMED ‘BEST TECHNOLOGY FIRM’ BY REACTIONS MAGAZINE
News Release -- October 07, 2008
Company Identified through Global Readership PollFALLS CHURCH, Va., Oct. 7 -- CSC (NYSE: CSC) announced today that it has been named “Best Technology Solutions Provider” as part of the Reactions Global Awards, an international awards program for insurers sponsored by Reactions magazine.
To select the award winners, Reactions, a financial publication for the global insurance market, surveyed its readers and conducted interviews with leading individuals and companies representing the insurance and reinsurance industries. Reactions added the Best Technology Solutions Provider category for the first time in the award program’s seven-year history because of the critical role information technology (IT) now plays in the insurance industry.
“It is an honor to be recognized by some of the most respected companies and individuals within the industry, many of whom are our customers,” said Jim Cook, president of CSC’s Financial Services Sector. “Being the first company to receive this award makes it even more gratifying as it demonstrates the outstanding reputation our reinsurance solutions have gained. It is also rewarding to see technology being recognized, on a global scale, for the intrinsic value it brings the insurance industry.”
CSC’s technology platforms and financial services applications are used by two thirds of the world’s top 50 insurers and nearly half of Fortune’s global 500 financial services companies. Half of the world’s reinsurers use CSC reinsurance solutions.
