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.
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.
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.
