Delphi looks to implement outsourced network support services agreement

By Caroline Salls

Pittsburgh, May 11 - Delphi Corp. requested court approval of a $325 million to $400 million five-year network support services agreement with Computer Sciences Corp., according to a Friday filing with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York.

Delphi said the agreement is part of its plan to transform its salaried workforce to lower selling, general, and administrative expenses.

This agreement is the third in a three-phase IT outsourcing plan that is expected to save the company $256 million.

After roughly $16 million in one-time transition costs, Delphi said it expects to see $71 million in net operating savings over the five-year term of the network support services agreement.

Monthly operating expenses and one-time transition costs will be charged directly or allocated to the Delphi affiliates which use the services, with about 45% of operating and transition costs being borne by Delphi and the rest by non-debtor affiliates.

The specific terms of the agreement were filed under seal.

A hearing is scheduled for May 31.

Delphi, a Troy, Mich.-based automotive electronics manufacturer, filed for bankruptcy on Oct. 8, 2005. Its Chapter 11 case number is 05-44481.
