Ford extends services contract with CSC

Extension to long-running partnership shows manufacturer's confidence, claims service provider's president

Ford has been working with CSC for 15 years

Car manufacturer Ford has extended its IT services agreement with business solutions and managed services provider CSC.

Under the terms of the service agreement, CSC will continue to provide essential infrastructure and application management services for the Ford customer service division in Europe, operating across 19 European offices, including UK branches in the North West, West Midlands and Oxfordshire.

“This extension demonstrates Ford’s confidence in CSC to provide mission-critical, world-class IT services,” said Gerhard Fercho, president at CSC.

The partnership between Ford and CSC was established 15 years ago. When CSC acquired IT services company Covansys in 2007, the scope of work expanded to include the offshore IT services provided by Covansys to Ford of Europe and North America.
