ers the genuine article. The result: better solutions for our
customers.
Real innovation often occurs at the intersection of differ-
ent disciplines, such as information technology and biol-
ogy. At SAIC, we have a rich diversity of scientific, engineer-
ing, and IT experts who excel at cross-disciplinary problem
solving. Thanks to their creativity and innovation, we have
a well-deserved reputation for solving some of our custom-
ers’ most difficult and complex problems. And a reputation
for delivering genuinely significant – and useful – results.
True platform independence means we can choose the
best technologies and integration strategies to meet our
customers’ needs. We have access to a wealth of software,
hardware, and technology options. More importantly, we
have the experience and knowledge to help customers
make better choices on how to leverage new and existing
technologies and resolve technology concerns.
Real value is our promise to our customers. SAIC organi-
zations stay close to their customers, help them anticipate
new requirements in a changing world, and respond with
speed and agility. And our organizations create highly mo-
