Virgin Atlantic has signed a £25m IT services outsourcing deal with CSC as part of a plan to reduce technology management costs and improve flexibility in its operating model.
The agreement consists of five years of service with a two-year option, a period during which the supplier will provide data centre hosting and managed web services to support the airline’s global operations.
Additionally, CSC signed another deal with Virgin Atlantic’s parent company, which will enable other group companies to use similar IT infrastructure services under the outsourced model.
Services will be provided mainly in the UK and supported by CSC branches worldwide.
“Through this agreement with CSC, we will look to improve the cost-effectiveness and flexibility of our IT services to support our business,” said Mike Cope, IT director at Virgin Atlantic.
