FALLS CHURCH, Va., Aug. 14 – CSC (NYSE: CSC) today announced it received the XCelent Service 2012 award from Celent, an industry research and consulting firm, for its PerformancePlus insurance software. PerformancePlus is a distribution and incentive compensation software offering that provides a single platform for rapidly introducing and managing complex compensation plans. The award is based on Celent’s assessment of CSC’s advanced software, as compared to other offerings profiled in a report titled, “North American Insurance Distribution Management Systems: Growth Through Superior Producer Service.”

The report uses Celent’s proprietary framework called the ABCD Vendor View to profile and benchmark 10 providers of life insurance distribution management solutions. Vendors with the highest score in each category are recognized as XCelent award winners. CSC’s PerformancePlus led the “Depth of Customer Service” category based on client feedback on implementation experience, size and experience of the professional support team and the quality of ongoing service.
