NEWS Computer Sciences Corporation has won a six-year contract worth over $90m to provide mainframe IT services to aircraft manufacturer Boeing. The deal will begin in 2004 and CSC will provide services to Boeing Integrated Defence Systems facilities in Arizona, California, Missouri and Philadelphia. Boeing's mainframe systems will be managed from CSC's data centre in Missouri. Don Imholz, vice president of IT for Boeing Integrated Defence Systems, said in a statement: "Mainframe applications continue to be used for many of our most critical applications. We selected CSC because it could provide quality services at a competitive cost to meet our customer needs." CSC chairman and CEO Van B Honeycutt said the deal builds on the company's existing relationship with Boeing and includes joint work on delivering projects for the federal government marketplace. The deal comes with CSC reporting strong growth in profit and sales in its results for the first quarter ended 4 July. Profit rose 16 per cent to $92.3m, up from $79m for the same period last year. Worldwide sales increased almost 30 per cent to $3.55bn, boosted by a series of major contract wins in the UK and rest of Europe.
