EDS wins another piece of nice traditional business- EDS announced the signing of a $321M 11 year contract with 18 counties in the state of California for a new system. The best part of the deal is that this is an old customer with several years of experience and they are still very satisfied with EDS services - note following comments on release: "CalWIN will allow the counties to focus on delivering services designed to move people away from dependency to self-sufficiency. In order to accomplish this important goal we need the best automated support the industry can provide," said Sandra Erbs, consortium project manager for CalWIN. "The consortium has worked for years as a team and has a long history of working together with EDS. We will rely on these relationships to make CalWIN successful." **************************** Since I played a small role in getting the original deal, I am delighted at the outcome. For those familiar with dealing with politically charged county environments - try managing 18 of them and keeping them all happy with your service. It ain't easy and shows that EDS can still deliver the service.
