SEARS HOLDINGS CORPORATION

Company Recognizes Top Suppliers as “Partners In Progress”

FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich., (July 5, 2006) -- Covansys Corporation (a CSC company), a global consulting and technology services company, has been selected by Sears Holdings Corporation’s headquarters in Hoffman Estates, Ill. to receive top honors at the Sears Holdings’ 2005 Partners in Progress awards. Covansys received the award from Sears Holdings for excellence in IT services.

The prestigious Partners in Progress award is presented annually to a select group of supplier companies that provide Sears Holdings with quality products and services, from apparel, appliances and tools to marketing, facilities design and technology. From more than 40,000 suppliers, Covansys was one of 84 companies chosen to receive the Sears Holdings’ 2005 Partners in Progress award.

The winning companies were hosted by Aylwin B. Lewis, chief executive officer and president of Sears Holdings Corporation.

“ Strong and productive supplier relationships are critical to building relationships with our Kmart and Sears customers,” said Lewis. “As a new company, Sears Holdings has an opportunity to better serve our customers by working hand in hand with our suppliers. We’re pleased to have the opportunity, through the Partners in Progress program, to recognize the suppliers who have gone the extra mile to support our company.”

“ It is an honor for Covansys to be recognized as a top valued partner by Sears Holdings,” said Raj Vattikuti, Covansys president and chief executive officer. “To be chosen as the only IT award recipient of the Sears Holdings’ 2005 Partners in Progress, from among the many thousands of suppliers, is a tribute to our employees’ professionalism and dedication to our clients. This award demonstrates our commitment to delivering superior customer service and innovation, as well as building strong client relationships.”

Started more than 20 years ago, the Partners in Progress program recognizes sources for product or service quality, innovation, diversity and overall market performance. The winners were selected from nominations submitted by Sears’ associates who purchase goods and services for the company.
