Computer Sciences Corporation's (CSC) e-venture division, Vybe, has inked a deal to develop an ebusiness strategy for car manufacturer MG Rover.

The IT consultancy firm will take on strategy implementation for around $500,000, including CRM, internal communications support, new product introduction and supply chain management.

Ismail Amla, head of Vybe, said the company has a similar deal with Ford for infrastructure support.

Amla added: "This proves to the marketplace we can compete. We're giving Rover the e-capability to let the business make the right decisions internally to help build it into the manufacturer of the future."

MG enthusiasts celebrated the end of the company's 36-year absence from the Le Mans 24-hour race at the weekend with the presence in the race of a new 500hp MG capable of speeds in excess of 200mph.
