MCLEAN, Va. and SAN DIEGO, Oct. 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Science
Applications International Corporation (SAIC) (NYSE: SAI) today announced it
has formed a strategic alliance with BPL Global, Ltd. (BPLG), a smart grid
technology company that develops and deploys solutions to improve the

BPLG's solutions include the PowerSG® solution suite, a service-oriented
architecture based integration platform supporting solutions that address the
energy delivery value chain from the substation to customer premises. BPLG's
PowerSG solutions help utilities improve reliability, integrate distributed
energy resources, enhance demand management capabilities, monitor critical
grid assets, and provide real-time control.

"This investment and our strategic alliance with BPLG represent further
strides in SAIC's strategy to provide life-cycle capabilities to the rapidly
evolving power industry, following our recent acquisition of R.W. Beck Group,
Inc.," said J.T. Grumski, SAIC senior vice president and business unit general
manager. "We look forward to integrating a number of SAIC's capabilities into
the PowerSG platform and further expanding our support to this growing
market."

the development and deployment of smart grid technology on a global scale."
