CSC Extends Business Process Services Contract with Northstar Financial

Customized Business Process Outsourcing Support from CSC Helps Global Insurer Administer Investment Products, Improve Customer Service

FALLS CHURCH, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- CSC (NYSE: CSC) today announced Northstar Financial Services Ldt., a Bermuda-based insurance company, has extended its business process services agreement for an additional five years. Northstar, which specializes in investment, insurance and annuity products designed to help non-U.S. citizens, uses CSC’s business process outsourcing (BPO) services to administer new investment products and reinforce superior customer service. The extension was signed in the first quarter of CSC fiscal year 2013.

Under the extension, CSC will continue to provide a customized BPO offering, including full back-office services and technical support, such as end-to-end policy administration, a bilingual English-Spanish customer call center, new business and payment processing, and commission handling for Northstar’s distribution partners and their investment advisors. Recent notable achievements in operational improvements include the ability to perform quality checks and auditing remotely, thereby reducing operational expenses and eliminating interim onsite audits. Additionally, a rapid launch of a new principal protected investment contract designed for affluent foreign nationals with an average premium exceeding $250,000 was completed and is now supported by CSC’s BPO operations.

“Our outsourcing relationship with CSC has enabled Northstar to cost-effectively modernize our operations, strengthening our ability to introduce new products quickly and enhance our existing variable and fixed product offerings,” said Gary M. Dombowsky, president, Northstar Financial Services Ltd. “With this contract extension, we will continue to benefit from CSC’s industry expertise, advanced technology and flexible service offerings.”
