CSC has bought Maricom Systems, who provide business intelligence and data management solutions that support mission-critical health IT systems within the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).

Maricom will enhance CSC capabilities in the areas of healthcare informatics and data management. It is expected that it will implement IT improvements in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.

James Sheaffer, CSC North American Public Sector line of business president, said the addition of Maricom Systems supports CSC's strategic focus on high growth areas of the US federal government.
