Computer Sciences Corporation is now a Certified Global SAP Hosting Partner, having received certification from SAP AG for its ''high-quality hosting services.''

SAP partners seeking certification undergo a comprehensive assessment of their delivery and operational capabilities by SAP's Global Ecosystem and Partner Group. The certification denotes a high level of SAP hosting expertise and validates a company's ability to productively support and operate SAP business applications on behalf of its clients. As a certified Global SAP Hosting Partner, CSC offers a full portfolio of hosting services in support of SAP Business Suite applications and the SAP NetWeaver platform.

Lemuel Lasher, President of CSC's Global Business Solutions and Services organization noted, ''By achieving global SAP certification, we demonstrate the quality of our capabilities in support of SAP solutions. CSC clients can now achieve further benefits from their SAP applications without the need to hire and train specialized resources or to invest in additional infrastructure. Helping our customers maximize business value, enhance operational efficiencies and deliver innovation through their enterprise applications, while freeing them to focus on their core business operations, are what enable CSC to exceed customer expectations.''

CSC continues to increase its global support capabilities for SAP solutions. During the past year, the company has expanded its number of SAP consultants by approximately 10 percent worldwide and expects to steadily increase that amount by the end of calendar year 2008. CSC has deployed more than 900 SAP implementations around the globe, representing a broad variety of industries.
