Hewlett-Packard has flagged plans to dump the well-known EDS brand following its acquisition of the company last year.
Hewlett-Packard and its partner Astron Technology have picked up a multimillion-dollar deal to continue a services and products relationship with engineering and construction firm AJ Lucas.
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.
EDS Australia is currently advertising for a number of positions at facilities around the nation, including its Burwood, Sydney office, from which it only this week culled a number of staff.
The first task on new EDS Australia and New Zealand vice president David Caspari's plate should be to come clean on exactly what the local consequences of HP's acquisition of the Texan IT outsourcing giant will be.
The ever-decreasing cost of storage might look like a useful development for the cash-strapped IT manager, but in fact the falling bucks per gigabyte figure can carry a hidden sting in the tail.
Hewlett-Packard's contemptuous termination of the 47-year-old EDS brand in a five-paragraph statement filled with marketing hogwash today is a colossal mistake and one the company will live to regret.
Australia's IT services market has come through its relatively mild financial crisis relatively unscathed, and certainly in much better shape than it could have ever anticipated.

The leaders of Australia's ICT industry are currently in a state of panic over the debatable prospect of an economic downturn in the sector and are going too far with cutting jobs.
Despite having a quality management product on the books at Western Power, no one was using it, causing the energy company to have problems with software development quality.
ZDNet correspondent Sumi Das and senior editor Sam Diaz talk about the recent announcement that Hewlett-Packard will be reducing its workforce by nearly 25,000 due to its integration with EDS. They also discuss how HP is competing with IBM for more IT services market share.
Despite a few build and design issues, HP's latest 22-inch monitor punches above its weight and is perfect for users looking for a budget, widescreen solution that is both versatile and sturdy.
If you find that the price is right and you are only planning on doing menial tasks, you could do a lot worse than the HP ProBook.
Managing data storage is just as much of a task (or greater) as managing the servers themselves. It makes sense to centralise management in larger organisations wherever possible. Enter the storage area network (SAN).
The HP Officejet Pro 8500 wireless makes a convincing inkjet argument for offices with a high volume of prints. With a function touchscreen, multiple networking options and an astoundingly fast print speed, it makes perfect sense to give this workhorse an Editors' Choice award.
We like the simplicity of the HP Officejet 6000 single-function inkjet printer, but its lack of an LCD screen takes some getting used to. Nevertheless, it performed well and earns our recommendation as a great single-function printer.
