Comments on: HP to Eliminate 9,000 Positions
The build up of data storage "cloud services" is being billed as a enterprise modernization effort and is aimed at better positioning the unit for growth. $1 billion will be spent on the transformation, which will end 9,000 positions over a multiyear period. According to the company the cuts will come from expected productivity gains as a result of the automation. A majority of the redundancies will be made from the business unit which includes the former Electronic Data Systems (EDS), which HP acquired in 2007.

RE: If it's truly EDS staff, good riddance...
Your generalization does a disservice to all the other men and women who built a world-class company. We had folks working on state-of-the art systems for security, NASA, etc... Unfortunately we had two CEOs that were less than stellar.
While your comment is correct that this restructuring effort is "worlds away", yours is coming.

9,000 employees seems like a lot, but after working with EDS people for five years, I would agree that well-written software could replace the majority of the people I worked with!
