The Business

Did you know?

Right now we're the world's second largest provider of information technology services with approximately 138,000 employees operating across 65 countries and 5 continents. Ranked number one in the 2007 VAR Business 500 list of top IT solution providers and the Black Book of Outsourcing's "Top 50 Best Managed Global Outsourcing Vendors" list, we manage more than 1 million software applications and 2.6 billion lines of code. More than 65,000 servers and 3 million desktops around the world rely on us for support.

On top of processing more than 200 million multi-channel customer contacts annually in 47 languages, we provide HR services to more than 400 organisations in the United States, Canada, Europe, and Central and South America, and 33 million employees and participants worldwide. And our help-desk agents respond to 25 million support calls, serving clients in 32 languages.

Big business. Big responsibilities.

Whilst we're a huge global business we take our social and environmental responsibilities seriously too. That's why we contribute over 70,000 volunteer hours annually to support a variety of global community projects. We sponsor the EDS Byron Nelson Championship too, attracting golf's biggest stars and raising more money for charity than any other PGA Tour event. We're also a founding board member of the Climate Savers Computing Initiative, a global consortium dedicated to developing and promoting energy efficiency for data centres and information service delivery.
