Blimey, Bob Shawadiwadi has a military background!?!Ross Perot's original IT services firm EDS has ceased to be.
The giant outsourcer began life in 1962 thanks to a $1,000 loan and has mirrored the ups and downs of the IT industry ever since.
One-time presidential candidate Ross Perot was always famous for his military and intelligence links. This came to the fore in 1979 when he set out to rescue two of his staff who were banged up in an Iranian prison.
After appeals to the US and Iranian governments failed, Perot hired an ex-Green Beret to run a rescue mission using mercenaries and existing EDS staff. Operation Hotfoot (Help Our Two Friends Out Of Tehran) successfully broke the two out of jail and spirited them over the Turkish border.Comment
