Read Larry Connors' blog – Short Term Trading Strategies
Using a combination of qualitative and quantitative research of larger users of applications outsourcing services in both the public and private sectors, Ovum evaluated EDS against criteria relating to the strategy and execution of projects. Besides EDS' strengths in applications execution and strategy, the following reasons were among those highlighted by the report, through interviews with EDS, IT professionals and EDS clients:
-- Market prominence -- EDS is widely regarded as a leading global outsourcer. -- Client-centric and account-driven approach to contracts, resulting in flexibility in both contract negotiations and in contracts. -- Partnering effectiveness -- investment in partnering with other vendors, such as Microsoft, SAP and Oracle through the EDS Agility Alliance, has paid dividends. -- Acquisitions of MphasiS and RelQ have bought a large volume of offshore applications skills, which is benefiting EDS clients.
"We are delighted that customer research and Ovum's evaluation have placed us among the top three vendors of applications outsourcing, a clear reflection of our flexible, client-driven approach," said Craig Wilson, EDS vice president for EMEA Applications Services Field Operations. "As our clients' business ally, EDS takes nearly 50 years of outsourcing experience and tailors applications strategies that effectively let clients do what they do best -- manage their business."
EDS serves more than 550 applications services clients worldwide through more than 45,000 applications delivery resources in 41 countries.
