CSC, a US leading IT company, announced the acquisition of the Swiss based Aspediens, provider of technology-enabled solutions for the service-management sector and a preferred partner of ServiceNow. Aspediens was founded in 2008 and has offices in four European countries.

Aspediens will join the CSC ServiceNow practice as part of Fruition Partners, a CSC company. These acquisitions cement CSC’s position as the number one ServiceNow integrator in the world. The Aspediens transaction is expected to close June 30, 2016, subject to customary closing conditions.
