FALLS CHURCH, Va., Dec. 4 /PRNewswire/ — CSC (NYSE: CSC) today announced
that it has established a Logistics Center of Excellence (COE), expanding its
community of COEs to 17. Each center focuses on a specific set of
capabilities, based on leading-edge technologies, that support CSC’s most
innovative solutions for commercial and government clients.

Located in Merrifield, Va., the Logistics COE provides a platform for
thought leadership that addresses real-world logistics challenges. The center
identifies best practices that enable repeatable, cost-effective solutions and
services that optimize supply, transportation and maintenance functions
throughout an enterprise framework. It provides access to experts in supply
chain optimization, enterprise integration, distribution
management/transportation, maintenance/repair and facility management. Areas
of expertise span the Department of Defense, civil agencies and commercial
markets.

“Our people are our key strength,” said Daniel G. Brown, vice president of
CSC’s Logistics Center of Excellence. “They’re professionals from the federal
and commercial marketplaces who bring a broad range of technical, functional
and analytical skills to our logistics solutions. They have the domain
expertise that lets us combine thought leadership and innovation with new
technology to offer real-world solutions to our clients’ logistics
challenges.”

An example of the technology innovation developed by the COE is CSC’s
OmniLocation suite. OmniLocation is an intelligent location offering that
incorporates asset tracking and operations monitoring onto a digital view of a
geographical area. It provides an interactive picture of critical assets
(people, vehicles and infrastructure) with environmental sensor data to
improve operational safety, security, efficiency and customer satisfaction.
CSC is using OmniLocation to manage its Northern UK technical field staff via
GPS-enabled communications devices.

CSC’s Centers of Excellence help clients explore state-of-the-art
solutions with minimum up-front investment, leveraging CSC’s top talent to
maximize innovation and business results. Each center has a designated
facility and staff who demonstrate and deliver solutions and evaluate
products, methodologies and concepts.
