CSC Acquires CSA Holdings, Large I/T Company in Asia


EL SEGUNDO, Calif., Feb. 4 /CNW/ -- Computer Sciences Corporation (NYSE: CSC) announced today that it has acquired, or agreed to acquire, 51% of CSA Holdings Ltd. (SES: CSAH), one of the largest information technology services companies in Asia. The Singapore-based firm has approximately U.S. $270 million in annual revenue, 2,000 employees and 128 million shares outstanding. "This acquisition is an important step in building a major presence for CSC in Asia over the next several years," said Van B. Honeycutt, CSC's chairman, president and chief executive officer. "We are extremely pleased to have CSA, its management and its staff of professionals join CSC." Johnny Moo Kwee Chong, a founding member of CSA, is the group's managing director. He has 35 years of experience in the information technology services business and is well known throughout the global information technology industry. "The combination of CSA and CSC will be a very powerful force in Asia, what with CSA's extensive territorial coverage and customer base in Asia and CSC's technology strength, particularly in outsourcing and high level strategic consulting," said Johnny Moo. "It will be an exciting time ahead as these will be areas of substantial I/T growth for the new Asia." CSC made a public tender offer for CSA Holdings' shares at U.S. $0.62 (S $1.02) per share Jan. 5, 1999. The offer was conditioned on receiving enough shares to give CSC a majority of the shares outstanding or issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options. Besides Singapore, CSA does the majority of its business in Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, the People's Republic of China, the Philippines andTaiwan, and works closely with information technology companies in Japan and other parts of Asia. CSA also has subsidiaries and does business in Australia, Canada and the United States, and has smaller or representativeoffices in France, Myanmar and Vietnam.The company, which was founded in 1970, provides systems consulting and integration services; information technology products and customer services; distribution of hardware, software and networking products; and general information services. "In addition to being an ideal geographic fit with CSC, CSA will be an excellent strategic partner as we work with our global customers, like DuPont and J.P. Morgan, in Asia," said Honeycutt. He said that CSC intends to expand in Asia through a combination of other acquisitions, joint ventures and new outsourcing contracts with global clients. Computer Sciences Corporation helps clients in industry and government use information technology to attain strategic and operational objectives. The company develops individualized business solutions that are delivered by CSC's 47,000 employees in 700 offices worldwide in areas such as information technology management consulting, systems consulting and integration, operations support and information services outsourcing. Since its founding in 1959, CSC has been known for its flexibility in its relationships with clients. The company has no exclusive agreements with hardware or software technology companies and thus is able to identify and manage solutions specifically tailored to each client's needs. Headquartered in El Segundo, California, CSC had revenues of $7.4 billion for the twelve months ended January 1, 1999. For more information, visit the company's web site at www.csc.com.

I/T Executives Have Much Work to Do

The single greatest challenge confronting
chief information officers throughout the world is to assure that the
priorities of their information technology organizations are in line with the business strategies of their corporations, according to a survey of almost 600 I/T executives from around the world by Computer Sciences Corporation (NYSE:

In terms of budget allocations to address Y2K remediation, North American companies will clearly outspend their counterparts in Europe and Asia/Pacific. Upon completion, North American organizations will have spent more than $16.5 million each, compared to just under $13 million by European firms and a similar amount by those in the Asia/Pacific region.

Renovating - Develop and update appropriate enterprise-wide code

Deploying - Implement Y2K solutions for line operations

''Those organizations that are still in the early stages of assessing Y2K solutions will clearly suffer negative consequences in 2000, some possibly as severe as interruptions of mission-critical business processes,'' Honeycutt noted.
