I have sympathy for the staff members of EDS who are loosing their jobs on a personal level but no sympathy at all for EDS, Accenture and HP. On a more general level they are very badly managed and resourced - i.e. cheap.

I have worked with an for HP, EDS, IBM, Accenture and Sun.
The best in general by far is Sun. It's a shame that they disdanded the department. IBM - in gereral good but sometimes instead of getting an end product you just get a report!

It all comes down to the cost for the job. If someone wants something cheap
that may or may not work / no handover and cost overruns etc then the EDS types fit the bill. It they want a product that costs what it says on the tin and is handed over professionally then IBM/ Sun fit the bill.

You get what you pay for and with EDS, Accenture HP etc that is not very much.

That'll be almost everyone then.
