CSC has announced it has closed the acquisition of iSOFT Group Limited, one of the world’s largest providers of advanced healthcare IT solutions.

Adding iSOFT’s 3,000 global employees, including those from major research and development centers in India, Spain, UK, Australia, New Zealand and Central Europe, expands CSC’s capability to support existing customers, develop more innovative solutions, and adds a robust set of clients in new and emerging markets.
