OH tulipE you mean they are spinning off EDS from HP and numpty dumping them on CSC????Originally posted by eek View PostHP by any other name are still a bunch of useless muppets...
Cant wait to see that. I wonder who is taking the lead in that mess. Years ago I was doing some work for HP in order to get a large client ready to walk away from EDS because the client thought they were a load of steaming tulipe. Then HP had an idea and suddenly bought EDS. They lost the whole client on the basis that they wanted nothing to do with EDS and if they bought HP they would end up with the same old tulipe. I would think CSC's clients will already be in the blocks...Comment

Given the amount of Voluntary and Compulsory redundancies, I don't think there can be many people left working at HPE now, except the Graduates and the people clinging on to final salary pensions.Comment
