Looks like as of mid January i will be contracted to CSC.
Know nothing about them. Have been contracting for TFL (London Underground), for over 6 years and this will be my third outsource contract.

I have a mate who works there and seems to spend more time on the "Bench" (Golf Course) than he does working, not sure they have a lot on at the moment and they have lost out on a few large bids.

In that case if they need an Information Security Manager let me know, I could do with some spare time to improve my handicap ;-)

My brother-in-law works for them, having been outsourced from an in-house IT department.
Seems to me that they're not too bad if you're on a long term assigmnent, but when that runs out they have no qualms about posting you to different geographical locations and expecting you to deal with it. Mind you, I think that's becoming the norm for IT companies...
