Why Read This Report

While EDS has historically focused on bundled information technology outsourcing/applications outsourcing (ITO/AO) deals, the company's emphasis on discrete AO opportunities is accelerating. Its recent joint win with IBM and Vodafone signals an increasing desire for visibility for what is already a sizable applications management business. While not typically considered in the same breadth with leading multinational corporations (MNCs) for headline wins, EDS, under the direction of Senior Executive Vice President Charles Feld, will seek to change that. EDS was one of the few providers whose vertical industry and business domain competencies shine through to AO engagements.
