    Would have thought everyone knew what they were - it was the Indian partner for EDS / HP for years..

      Mphasis, sounds like a cheap Infosys wannabe

      And Google say:

      Infosys revenue 1 Trillon Rupees
      Mphasis revenue 100 Billion Rupees

        Yep, the ownership by EDS / HP rather screwed their expansion options when everyone else was massively expanding.

          I didn't know EDS had any involvement in Mphasis.
          I wonder what made them think combining the worst management (EDS/HP) with the worst workers (cheap, poorly skilled Indian techs), would ever make a successful business.

            Because cheap, poorly skilled US and UK techs were the foundation of EDS / HP..

              my 1st contract was with them. The 'lifers' were truly awful.

                Mphasis is not a recruitment agency, they are company like Tsys, HCL etc, just much smaller and at least until early this year they were doing a lot of work for HP. I know because I was thinking I was applying for a contract at HP and it turned out I had to work for Mphasis after the second interview. I told them to F.O for wasting my time and keeping me in the dark about this.

                  MPhasis is owned by HP. In fact when I was contracting for AIGSS - AIG insurer's IT division, AIG is a big daddy of Insurers in the US, MPhasis acquired AIGSS.

                    Nope MPhasis are owned by Private Equity since HP sold in 2016 - its now mainly owned by BlackStone Group see Mphasis - Wikipedia

                    It wouldn't be so bad but I pointed this out 4 posts ago...

                      Had a chap from Avance Consulting last week want my CV as they had a role that was perfect fit.

                      I asked if it was freelance and outside IR35.

                      No, he replied "it is permanent and INSIDE IR35 as well"

                      Nasty, imagine the tax you'd be fleeced for?


                      qh

                      He had a negative bluety on a quackhandle and was quadraspazzed on a lifeglug.

                      I look forward to your all knowing and likely sarcastic and unhelpful reply.
