Hewlett-Packard and EDS are expected to shortly detail which executives will lead their now combined Australian operation following HP's $13.9 billion acquisition of the Texan IT outsourcing giant over the past several months.
Hewlett-Packard has notified the nation's financial regulator that EDS Australia managing director Neil Emerson and several of his colleagues are no longer on paper technically leading the IT outsourcer's local operations.
One of HP's executives has been appointed to lead the Australia and New Zealand division of its new subsidiary, IT outsourcing giant EDS, with the group's acting managing director Neil Emerson being shunted aside in the process.
Representatives from EDS and Tabcorp refuse to comment on rumours that the gambling giant has outsourced its IT operations to the Texas-based IT service provider.
Hewlett-Packard today said it was "too early" to comment on whether Australian job cuts would result from the US$13.9 billion acquisition of EDS or even which executive would lead the combined entity locally in the immediate future.
Global services group EDS has signed a AU$58 million outsourcing agreement with the Victorian government to manage VicRoads' IT infrastructure for five years.
