Been in the IT industry for a few years and looking for a good chuckle? Take a look at the latest news on outsourcing giant EDS. These folks have been filling the flesh peddling niche for years with the cheapest “globally outsourced” labor that money could buy. In the process, they have played a key role in the move to commoditize IT with plug and play workers.
Sure it’s survival of the fittest but you can’t help but get a little sick satisfaction out of the coming slash and burn that is sure to come to the top of EDS once HP begins to cull the executive herd. These are the same guys that helped countless companies streamline their labor costs by outsourcing their in-house IT staff to some other part of the world. HP should be able help EDS to “streamline its labor costs” too in the very near future. Afterall, isn’t that what EDS is all about?
Until next time, happy blogging.
