Describing the ICT systems of EDS

The organisation, which I will be describing on how they use ICT is

called EDS, EDS is situated in Milton Keynes. EDS was founded and set

up in 1962 and it is the leading global information technology

services company. EDS stands for Electronic Data Systems. EDS has

approximately 137,000 workers in 60 countries and about 12,000 workers
