FALLS CHURCH, Va., July 20 -- CSC (NYSE: CSC) today announced that its Exceed Claims software for tier one property and casualty (P&C) carriers received a "Positive" rating in Gartner's MarketScope for North American Property and Casualty Insurance Claims Administration Systems report, authored by Stephen Forte, a Gartner research director.
