Acquisition Strengthens CSC’s Health Informatics and Health Information Services
FALLS CHURCH, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- CSC (NYSE: CSC) today announced that it has acquired Maricom Systems, Inc. The company, based in Baltimore, Md., provides business intelligence and data management solutions that support mission-critical health information technology (IT) systems within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.
This acquisition allows CSC to expand its support of HHS efforts to implement IT improvements in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Maricom enhances CSC capabilities in the areas of healthcare informatics and data management—the cornerstones of the government health transformation initiatives.
“The addition of Maricom Systems supports CSC’s strategic focus on selected high growth areas of the U.S. federal government,” said James W. Sheaffer, president of CSC’s North American Public Sector line of business. “Healthcare is a rapidly expanding segment of the marketplace and we expect its growth to continue as the government looks for innovative solutions to reduce its cost while improving the quality of care.”
Maricom’s approximately 200 employees will be a part of CSC’s Health Services business area, which provides IT services and solutions, systems integration and operations support to HHS’ Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Systems.
Investment bank KippsDeSanto acted as the sole financial advisor to Maricom Systems for this acquisition.
