Under terms of the agreement, Perot Systems will continue to provide full IT outsourcing services to include application implementation and support, desktop support, local and wide area network design and maintenance, data center management, server design and control, help desk and incident management.

"For the past seven years, Perot Systems has collaborated closely with DCHS to create enormous value. With this extension, we will be able to take advantage of Perot Systems' deep healthcare technology expertise, enabling us to focus on providing the world-class care our patients deserve," said Dick Hutsell, Chief Information Officer for Daughters of Charity Health System.
