FALLS CHURCH, Va - Monday, September 21st 2015 [ME NewsWire]
(BUSINESS WIRE)-- CSC (NYSE: CSC), a global leader in next-generation IT services and solutions, today announced it has closed the acquisition of Fruition Partners, the leading provider of technology-enabled solutions for the service-management sector and the largest ServiceNow-exclusive service-management consulting firm. The acquisition bolsters CSC’s ability to offer enterprise and emerging clients an expanded range of cloud-based service-management solutions to improve their business results through organizational efficiency and lower operating costs.
Fruition Partners is now a wholly owned subsidiary of CSC and will do business as Fruition Partners, a CSC company. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed. ServiceNow is a CSC strategic alliance partner.
Combining Fruition Partners with the scale, reach, industry penetration and extensive skill portfolio of CSC creates an extraordinary leadership position in the fast-growing enterprise software-as-a-service (SaaS) market.

Marc Talluto, co-founder and chief executive officer, Fruition Partners, said “the combined business marries CSC’s global strength with Fruition Partners’ service-management expertise to bring existing and new clients even greater results as they continue to be challenged in the constantly evolving digital world. We look forward to cross-pollinating service offerings and best practices, including pre-packaged accelerators and integrations, an exclusive shared ServiceNow knowledge base, and the world’s only fully managed ServiceNow application service offering. Fruition Partners is excited to be part of the CSC family.”
Talluto will lead CSC’s global ServiceNow organization, reporting to Ravi Puri, vice president and general manager, Digital Applications organization. Fruition Partners employees will begin transitioning to CSC immediately for completion by year-end.
