They started it! Electronic Data Systems (EDS) pioneered the computer outsourcing business, and now it is the largest independent systems management and services provider in the US (rival IBM is #1 worldwide). EDS delivers such services as systems integration, network and systems operations, data center management, application development, and outsourcing. The company is one of the largest federal government contractors, but it also serves commercial customers in a wide range of industries, including health care, manufacturing, and transportation. Top clients include the US Navy and former parent General Motors. EDS agreed to be acquired by Hewlett-Packard for about $13.9 billion in cash in 2008.
