CSC Retains Global Healthcare and Life Sciences Leader Position in Everest Group Report

CSC (NYSE:CSC), a global leader in next-generation IT services and solutions, today announced that it has been recognized as a “Leader” for the second year in Everest Group’s 2016 “Provider IT Healthcare Services – Service Provider Landscape with PEAK Matrix™ Assessment.”

Developed by Everest Group, a global consulting and research firm, the PEAK (Performance, Experience, Ability, Knowledge) Matrix is a framework that assesses the relative market success and overall capability of service providers in various industries. This particular PEAK Matrix evaluated 22 IT service providers specific to the global healthcare provider sector.

“Healthcare is one of the few industries that looks at technology transformation to create breakthrough value. Whether it is patient engagement, cost takeout or legacy transformation, technology is at the core of what the industry wants to achieve,” said Abhishek Singh, practice director, Healthcare, Everest Group. “CSC has leveraged its healthcare technology expertise to align with the objectives of this industry. They have created capabilities that go beyond the traditional North American/large hospital systems market and address provider segments globally,” said Singh.

CSC earned its “Leader” position because it offers significant presence across all provider service lines, including large healthcare systems and stand-alone hospitals and clinics. CSC showcased strong domain expertise in the healthcare field, which is extremely important when clients are looking for a technology partner to meet their cost containment and regulatory compliance agenda. Recent acquisitions of Xchanging and UXC Limited, as well as strategic alliances with other next-generation technology players in the healthcare market, were highlighted by the report because they enable clients to future-proof their IT investments.

Other specific strengths of CSC cited in the report include:

• The variety of proprietary offerings including Population Health Enablement and Care Coordination, Lorenzo Electronic Medical Record (EMR), Hospital Infrastructure solutions (including cybersecurity, workplace services and storage as a service) and the CSC Agility Platform™ for hybrid cloud management;
• The ability of CSC to focus efforts on the unique nuances, opportunities and challenges of specific buyer markets; and
• A strong global presence across the payer-provider spectrum that allows for significant cross/upselling opportunities.

“Our Agile Health approach, coordinated care solutions and innovative technology help healthcare providers create a platform for digital success,” said Andrea Fiumicelli, vice president and general manager, CSC Healthcare and Life Sciences. “Agile Health is about using effective applications, efficient cloud-based and hybrid architectures, as well as flexible analytics to deliver better health outcomes for individual patients and whole populations. Our offerings go beyond technology and focus on ecosystem-wide healthcare transformation.”
