Story: EDS: The single point of failure

It's understandable that people and the meida are quick to jump on the bandwagon of EDS's unsuccessful ventures and to some extent, in fact to all extent, they have every right to do so. I work for EDS and currently work on the DWP project.

What strikes me as particularly odd is the fact that I and hundreds others sometimes worked day and night over the past few years migrating these very desktops from NT to W2K - and the reason we worked long hours and travelled far and wide?! To ensure both our customers and the DWP 'customers' weren't inconvenienced and business went along as usual. 2 Things anooy me now - 1) all our hard work and effort has just went down the pan in one fail swoop, and 2) no one was quick off the mark to say "my god! - they rolled out how many machines!!". Funny isn't it, how you always hear about the failures yet are unaware of the successes!!!.

EDS has it's problems, and while under no illusion as to the incompentent few, I refuse to accept this is all EDS's fault. Time after time, I see EDS's name dragged through the mud because of other people's incompentence and inability to understand I.T. and it is this very thing which fails projects although EDS could be somewhat smarter and take a leaf from the governments books!. Maybe it's just cause we're too damn honest!
