"Our two new companies will be designed so that their businesses can be more differentiated and more competitive in their own space," said John Jumper, chairman and CEO of McLean, Va.-based SAIC, in the release.

This affords both companies an excellent opportunity to combine optimized cost structures, unrestricted access to their respective markets, and the leveraging of decades of SAIC's scientific and engineering excellence to unleash the growth and value we can deliver to our customers, employees and shareholders."
