Addition of Swiss-based
innovator extends CSC’s leadership position in the
fast-growing enterprise software-as-a-service (SaaS)
market
CSC (NYSE:CSC), a global leader in next-generation IT services
and solutions, today announced it has closed
the acquisition of Aspediens, Europe’s leading provider
of technology-enabled solutions for the service management
sector and a preferred partner
of ServiceNow. Aspediens will
join Fruition Partners, a CSC
company and CSC’s world-leading ServiceNow practice.
The combined strength of Fruition
Partners with Aspediens and UXC
Keystone gives CSC the scale, reach, industry penetration
and extensive skill portfolio to own an extraordinary
leadership role in the fast-growing enterprise
software-as-a-service (SaaS) market. This makes CSC well positioned
to address growing client demand for better, faster and more
efficient service-management capabilities across process,
applications and infrastructure – both traditional and
cloud-enabled.
“We welcome the Aspediens team to Fruition Partners
and to CSC,” said Jim Smith, executive vice president and
general manager, Global Business Services, CSC. “Together,
Fruition Partners with Aspediens and UXC Keystone
provides enterprise clients with end-to-end support
for ServiceNow-related software and solutions, as well as a
broader range of professional service management offerings. CSC is
at the forefront of helping modern enterprises optimize
technology to manage work, giving our clients access to an expanded
range of XaaS capabilities.”
Michel Regueiro, CEO of Aspediens, stated,
“Being a part of the world’s
leading ServiceNow integrator is a significant step
forward for the Aspediens family and our loyal clients,
who gain a stronger resource base, access to exclusive IP, and
extensive industry expertise among many other
benefits. We are very excited to join CSC and Fruition
Partners, and look forward to bringing our talent and
relationships to this growing global practice.”
Marc Talluto, co-founder of Fruition Partners, said: “We
are thrilled to accelerate our global growth with the addition of
the Aspediens team in Europe. Over the years we have
gotten to know each other well. Our cultural match, shared vision
and capabilities for Enterprise Service Management on
the ServiceNow platform will benefit our customers in
mainland Europe and around the world.”
Regueiro will continue to
lead the Aspediens team and will report
to Talluto, who leads CSC’s
global ServiceNow practice and reports to Smith.
With headquarters in Switzerland, Aspediens has
operations in Germany, France and Spain.
“Adding Aspediens to its ServiceNow practice
underscores CSC’s commitment to creating the leading global
services practice in the enterprise service management space,
and to leveraging the promise of a world-class partner ecosystem,”
said David Schneider, CRO, ServiceNow in CSC’s
announcement of intent to acquire Aspediens on May 23,
2016. “Aspediens is a trusted partner
of ServiceNow in Europe with excellent customer
satisfaction scores, and we expect that our shared customers will
benefit from the addition to CSC’s
global ServiceNow portfolio.”
ServiceNow, at its Annual Global PartnerNow Summit,
recognized Fruition Partners as having the highest
