OAK RIDGE, TN., April 3, 2001 - Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) today announced that its North American Integrated Services Management Center (NAISMC) has completed its ISO audit and has been recommended by the British Standards Institution (BSI) for certification.

The NAISMC operation is only the second organization to be ISO 9001:2000 certified by BSI. The standard was released in December 2000, and SAIC was certified just four months after the audit was initiated. Capabilities covered by the certification include the implementation, integration, operation and support of mainframe, midrange, client-server, desktop and network-based information systems with provisions for help desk and infrastructure security activities.

The NAISMC, which opened in mid-1999, provides information technology (IT) services including system, network, call center and desktop services to the three Department of Energy management and operating contractors in Oak Ridge, Tenn., and seven other commercial and government customers.

"The ISO 9001:2000 certification validates SAIC's recognized strengths in the IT infrastructure services market, including our commitment to quality and client satisfaction," said SAIC Group Senior Vice President Bob Cann. "In Oak Ridge, we have assembled and now have certified a professional team that provides mission-critical enterprise management and desktop management solutions and services."

"By achieving this certification, we have demonstrated that SAIC is a superior outsourcing provider," said SAIC Sector Vice President Ed Martin, M.D.
