Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC) Australia intends to double the 120 IT services staff it currently has working in South Australia over the next three to five years because of strong demand from the defence and booming natural resources sectors.
In South Australia, CSC has been involved with
defence projects since the 1970s, including JORN (Jindalee Over-the
Horizon Radar Network), the Submarine Project, Nulka Active Missile
Defence, Global Hawk and the Anzac Ship.
CSC’s major commercial clients in South Australia include BHP Billiton
and OneSteel. Other clients include Allianz, AMP, BlueScope Steel,
Coles, Myer, and Rio Tinto.
The increased staffing announcement comes on the back of the official
opening of CSC’s AUD$12 million purpose-built Software Solutions Centre
in Mawson Lakes.
Nick Wilkinson, President and CEO of CSC in Australia said:
“CSC’s investment in Mawson Lakes reflects our longstanding commitment
to the local economy. We have a 30-year history in South Australia and
aim to be an IT employer of choice in the region.”
Mr Wilkinson said the move to the new facility at Mawson Lakes would
better position the company to continue delivering results for its
diverse client base. “We have built technology and flexibility into the
building to allow us to cater for the differing security demands of our
clients.”
he opening of the new centre in Mawson Lakes is part of CSC’s national
facilities campaign and follows the opening of similar centres at
Macquarie Park in Sydney, Coniston Technology Park in the Illawarra and
Subiaco in Perth. CSC also plans to open a new campus in Docklands,
Melbourne in 2009.
