Swine Flu is Good For IT Business

Perot Systems Corporation announced today that its Fairfax, Virginia-based Government Services Business Unit, won the re-compete for the performance-based contract with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) valued at over $119 million. Perot Systems will provide a wide range of infrastructure support to the CDC’s Information Technology Services Office nationally and internationally. Perot Systems Government Services subsidiary QSS Group, Inc. has been the incumbent contractor for these services since 2004.

“This is a cornerstone win for us in the public health market. We are honored to continue to serve the CDC in support of its critical missions. It is a testament to our strong delivery team and capability to provide high value IT solutions tailored for the federal healthcare market,” said Lee Carrick, President of Perot Systems’ Government Services Business Unit.

Does this mean I’m not the only one following swine flu stats like sports?
