CSC Acquires AppLabs

Computer Sciences Corp. (CSC), a NYSE listed global leader in providing technology-enabled business solutions and services, has acquired AppLabs Technologies Private Limited for an undisclosed sum. This was announced at a joint press conference by Brian Manning, president and managing director of CSC, and Sashi Reddy, founder and executive chairman of AppLabs.

CSC, based in Falls Church, Virginia, has bought 50 per cent stake from WestBridge, 40 per cent from promoters and 10 per cent from employees. Both companies, however, did not disclose the sum.

AppLabs brings a strong portfolio of emerging technologies, proprietary methodologies and tools, and a specialised sales force to CSC, which significantly enhances CSC's capabilities in application testing services as well as shortening time-to-market.

CSC has approximately 93,000 employees and reported revenue of $16.2 billion for the 12 months ended July 1, 2011.
