About EDS

Part of a global business, EDS UK was established in 1984. Since then, we've grown substantially and now serve more than 120 major clients across most industry sectors. Our UK headquarters are based in London with over 200 other sites in the UK, hosting in the region of 16,500 employees.

Public Sector

We're a major force in the public sector with a number of prestigious clients including:

• The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) - We've provided IT services and delivered modernisation programmes for the various agencies and departments now encompassed within the DWP, since 1989. We support most of DWP's business systems including pension credit, child support, income support and incapacity benefit, as well as Jobcentre Plus and the Job Banks.
• Ministry of Defence (MoD) - We've served military and secure government clients for more than 30 years. Prime contractor on many of the MoD's major IT programmes as well as in the ATLAS consortium, we're central to the successful delivery of the Defence Information Infrastructure (Future) (DII(f)). DII(f) is a major contract running over 10 years and will replace numerous individual information systems throughout the MoD with a single more efficient information infrastructure.
• Ministry of Justice - Our work with the UK's Ministry of Justice includes the successful delivery of the Computerised-National Offender Management Information System (C-NOMIS), which will help join-up information across departments, tracking the progress of offenders during their time in prison and on probation.

Commercial Sector

In the UK, our Commercial operations focus on financial services, manufacturing, telecommunications, energy and utilities, and consumer industries. Our clients include British Airways, BP, Vodafone, Rolls-Royce, Lloyds TSB, Royal Bank of Scotland, Thorntons and Scottish and Newcastle. Here are a couple of our recent projects:

• Transport for London (TfL) - As part of the Transys consortium we developed, marketed and continue to administer the Oyster smart card, enabling paperless travel throughout TfL's network. Oyster has revolutionised travel in London, letting cardholders purchase season tickets, view travel histories and check balances at any TfL station.
• Scottish & Newcastle - We recently supported Scottish & Newcastle as they embarked on an aggressive migration project moving their key business users from a mainframe platform to a UNIX-based system enabling IT to deliver an improved service and cost savings.
