EDS Expands Global SAP Consulting Practice
EDS, a global technology services provider, announces an expanded agreement with SAP AG whereby SAP will support EDS in the strategic expansion of its global SAP application-based consulting practice. By collaborating with SAP on client engagement training and techniques that will drive the long-term growth of its consulting practice, EDS will further enhance its existing SAP capabilities and bring end-to-end SAP consulting and systems integration to the market by early 2008. Additionally, EDS will work closely with SAP's Global Partner and Ecosystem Group for market penetration and value-added customer offerings. For more than 17 years, EDS and SAP have partnered to deliver business software solutions that reduce time-to-market and lower clients' total cost of ownership. EDS has been a SAP client since 1997, deploying numerous SAP solutions to a user population of approximately 873,000.
