SAIC to split into two public companies

Science Applications International said it plans to split itself into two public companies. The decision comes just months after SAIC named its fourth CEO, retired Air Force General John P. Jumper, with a mandate to reenergize the business. SAIC said it plans to separate into two parts — a $4 billion-a-year services business and a $7 billion-a-year IT company — by the end of next year.
