UST Global Signs Five-Year Contract with Dana for e-Business Application
Development and Support Services
|

ALISO VIEJO, Calif. – July 17, 2008 – UST GlobalSM, a leading provider of IT services
and solutions for Global 2000 enterprises, announced today that it has entered into
a five- year contract with Dana Holding Corporation (NYSE: DAN) to provide e-business
application development and support services leveraging a global delivery model
on its .NET and Java-based platforms. The UST global development center solution
will help to drive increased operational efficiencies and lower total cost of ownership
for Dana’s enterprise-wide, e-business applications.
"Dana had been seeking to move to a global sourcing and delivery model in order
to lower its operating costs, while also providing shorter time-to-market for its
e-business applications. In addition, it needed a stable resource support structure
to provide a global delivery framework that could quickly ramp-up, when needed,
to handle emerging e-business development requirements," said Bill Umberger, director
of IT Corporate Services for Dana Holding Corporation.
Through this process, Dana sought a supplier that would not only meet its e-business
objectives, but provide a strong cultural fit as well. While several IT services
and offshore providers were evaluated, UST clearly differentiated itself with the
e-business development requirements as a result of its strong reputation, fit, flexibility,
and commitment to outstanding customer service, the company said.
"Dana was looking for a company that would work collaboratively with its IT department
and demonstrate a mutual commitment to long-term success," said Mike Zerkel, general
manager, North America, UST Global. "Dana is a company we are genuinely happy to
welcome to our client family. They join an already impressive list of Fortune 500
manufacturing clients that value our business model of fewer clients, more attention."
