Tech.

Because I haven't applied yet. Not sure I actually will. Just feeling things out while I run my current contract.

It's an IBM tech role so my thoughts were that maybe IBM (not sure it's KPMG) were going to bring in specialists to watch over Wipro. Or that Lloyds/TSB would directly contract specialists to watch over Wipro. Either would be preferable to contracting for Wipro.

I thought KPMG was handling the TSB fiasco for some Spanish Bank's own IT division?

Anyone know which one of Lloyds or TSB that Wipro are working at?
