HP bought and gutted EDS. I think what is left of EDS ended up with HPE instead of HPC.

Going woke and hiring Carly to run it certainly was the downfall of a once strong company.

After the founders lost control, the last couple of Boards have managed to run Intel into the ground in a similar way.

I was contracted thru EDS to Bank of America, EDS had a huge contract with BofA, EDS basically ran everything for BofA concerning their IT, I was hired on a team that revamped the entire consumer and ATM networks for BofA, later the group I was in started the foundational Voip project for BofA.

I heard the contract with BofA was valued and nearly 1 billion per year, after HP bought EDS, eventually they lost the majority of the contract to Cisco.

HP didn’t learn it’s lesson on hiring woke women to run the company, after Carly Fiorino, a few years later they hired Meg Whitman former CEO of Ebay to run the company, she was the CEO when HP lost the BofA contract.
