Resources giant Woodside Energy has renewed its IT outsourcing arrangement with IT services giant CSC for the exact same amount it did three years ago — $30 million over three years. In a statement released this morning, CSC said it would continue to provide infrastructure outsourcing and support services, including service desk and field services, problem, change and configuration management, and datacentre and server and network resources to Woodside — as it has been for the past four years. CSC’s statement today on the matter is virtually a carbon copy of the statement it sent out two and a half years ago in September 2007, when it said it had signed a similar three year, $30 million contract as a follow-up to an initial one year deal with Woodside.

UK slips from outsourcing top spot
The UK is in danger of losing its crown as Europe’s largest outsourcing market, despite reports from channel players of an uptick in “co-sourcing” deals. France, Germany and Sweden moved ahead of the UK for the first time in Q1, based on the total contract value (TCV) of large commercial outsourcing deals, according to sourcing data and advisory firm TPI.
UK TCV almost halved year on year to €800m (£691m) in the three months to March, compared with more than €1bn in Germany and almost €2bn in France. TPI president Duncan Aitchison said the UK was hit by the lack of large restructuring and renewal contracts during the quarter. But he argued the country’s long-term status as the rich man of European outsourcing was under threat.

US Senate begins debate on new Wall Street regulations
The Senate has begun debating proposals for the most significant reforms to financial regulations since the 1930s. After days of deadlock, Republicans and Democrats began arguing over a bill aimed at bringing accountability to Wall Street and avoiding another financial meltdown. Republicans had blocked debate on the bill for three consecutive days, but eventually relented on Wednesday. But they also promised a hard fight to make changes to the reform bill. The key battlegrounds of the debates will be measures to restrict trades in complex financial instruments, called derivatives, and the powers proposed for a new agency to protect consumers. Despite agreeing to a debate, Republican Senator Richard Shelby, who led the blocking campaign, appeared in no mood to compromise on his opposition to the consumer protection agency.
