HP will shed 24,600 jobs

Posted Tuesday, 16 September 2008, 15:18 HST @970

Hewlett-Packard has announced that the company will eliminate almost 8% of the company’s global workforce. The New York Times (Hewlett-Packard Cuts 25,000 Jobs After E.D.S. Purchase) and Associated Press (HP surprises Wall Street with size of EDS job cuts) have two good articles about the move.

No word on what this means for recently-acquired EDS, the primary vendor for Oahu’s most famous outsourced IT project, the Navy-Marine Corps Intranet (NMCI). The restructuring plan is necessary, given the US$13.9 billion price HP paid for EDS.
