HP Enterprise Services is the business and technology services subsidiary of the Hewlett Packard Enterprise strategic business unit. It was formed by the combination of Hewlett-Packard's legacy services consulting and outsourcing business and the integration of acquired Electronic Data Systems, which had defined the outsourcing business when it was established in 1962 by H. Ross Perot.

On May 24, 2016, Hewlett Packard Enterprise announced that it will split its Enterprise Services division and merge it with Computer Sciences Corporation to create a pure IT services company.[1]

History

On May 13, 2008, Hewlett-Packard confirmed that it had reached a deal with Electronic Data Systems to acquire the company for $13.9 billion.[2] The deal was completed on August 26, 2008. EDS became an HP business unit and was renamed EDS, an HP company.[3] Ronald A. Rittenmeyer, EDS chairman, president, and CEO, remained at the helm and reported to HP CEO Mark Hurd until his retirement.

By September 2009, EDS began calling itself HP Enterprise Services, a name change which came one year after HP announced the acquisition.[4] By the end of 2009, HP Enterprise Services managed more than 380,000 servers in 60 countries, the largest locations being the United States, India and the UK. [5] It was ranked as one of the largest service companies on the Fortune 500 list with around 2,000 clients. In 2010, HP Enterprise Services was ranked first in Corporate Responsibility Magazine’s "Corporate Citizens in Government Contracting" listing.[6]
