5. CSC Splits, Merges To Form World’s Largest U.S. Government Partner

CSC, No. 5 on the CRN SP 500, announced in May that it would split into two publicly traded companies, one focused on the company’s $8.1 billion global and commercial businesses and the other focused on its North American public sector business.

The $4.1 billion U.S. government unit of CSC in August announced that it would merge with $1.4 billion public sector player SRA, forming CSRA, the world’s largest pure-play U.S. government solution provider.  Both the split and SRA merger closed in November.

CSC’s commercial arm is trying to reverse its sagging fortunes through a series of acquisitions, announcing three since August and bidding for a fourth in November.
