Under the terms of the agreement, CSC will make an undisclosed investment in Virtual Clarity to accelerate the company’s transformation consulting services targeting the financial services, insurance, telecom, and manufacturing industries, a CSC statement reports. Virtual Clarity will become a Strategic Affiliate of CSC and will collaborate on joint go-to-market pursuits with CSC.
