CSC's Precedent ID Implemented at First Client Site

EL SEGUNDO, Calif., March 1 / - Computer Sciences Corporation (NYSE:CSC) today announced that a leading Massachusetts-based insurer has licensed and is now using its new Precedent ID software. The carrier will use Precedent ID to increase consistency during claims assessment and negotiation, and apply best practices in claims settlements.

It is the only commercially available software that integrates information across claims evaluation, negotiation and resolution.

"With the addition of Precedent ID to our software portfolio, CSC offers the most comprehensive suite of claims and legal products to the property and casualty insurance market," said Ray August, president of the P&C Insurance division of CSC's Financial Services Group. "With this new software, insurers' claims professionals will be able to improve customer service, process claims more consistently and reduce redundancies."

Precedent ID complements and expands CSC's P&C claims and legal offerings, which include the Legal Solutions Suite, Claims Desktop, Exceed Claims Administration, POINT IN Advanced Claims Administration, Colossus, Independent Adjuster Manager, Fraud Evaluator and Fault Evaluator.
