Computer Sciences Corp. (CSC) has signed a four-year, A$480 million (US$379.1 million) contract with BlueScope Steel Ltd. to provide consulting, application development and support, disaster recovery, systems integration and end user services over multiple platforms.

The contract has two extended two-year options and builds on an existing seven-year relationship between the companies which began in May 2000.
