In recent weeks CSC globally announced plans to shed about 4300 employees during fiscal 2007, beginning this month.

CSC Australia CEO Mike Shove said that locally, those cuts will be in the "tens" following a minor restructure.

Shove said the restructure reflects the needs of Australian CSC customers; staff losses will be through "natural attrition rather than redundancies".

"Due to natural attrition, we may not replace some positions, but this does not mean there will be formal redundancies in 2006-2007. In fact, we may be able to reduce the workforce with minimal redundancies, given the relatively small size of the positions affected," he said.

"We continue to win new business in Australia, so our ongoing operations continue to be healthy and strong. Globally, the restructure allows us to realign our operations to maximize our operational effectiveness and business alignments."
