    Transformations

    2008: The integration of EDS in Hungary is expected to be completed by the middle of next year, as there is also a significant service center operating in our country, which needs to be merged into HP. The situation is complicated by the fact that while HP employs more than 500 people in Hungary, EDS has nearly 1,800 employees, said Gábor Hegedüs, head of HP Hungary, at a press conference last week. EDS, which has previously operated as a separate entity, will be merged into HP's technology services division.

    The company ceased to exist in 2009.

    Interesting facts

    The world's leading outsourcing company, Electronic Data System Corporation (EDS), founded by Ross Perot, entered the Hungarian information technology scene in 1990 through its Hungarian subsidiary, EDS Hungary Kft. The company is proud of its independence from large hardware and software companies.

    The limited liability company itself was finally registered in 1991: their first experience of their activity, which seemed obvious to them, was that the Hungarian and Central European regional markets that opened up at the end of the eighties were not as saturated as those in other areas they had "networked" (in the United States, Western Europe or Southeast Asia).
