History and Business of Company (this information may include date of incorporation)
Electronic Data Systems Corporation, or EDS, is a leading global provider of information technology and business process outsourcing services. We bring together the world's best technologies to help clients eliminate boundaries, collaborate in new ways, establish their customers' trust and continuously seek improvement. A.T. Kearney, a high-value management consultancy, and UGS PLM Solutions, a leading provider of product lifecycle management, or PLM, software applications and related services, each operate as separate subsidiaries of EDS. As of December 31, 2003, we employed approximately 132,000 persons in the United States and approximately 60 countries around the world. Our principal executive offices are located at 5400 Legacy Drive, Plano, Texas 75024, telephone number: (972) 604-6000. Our predecessor was incorporated in Texas under the name Electronic Data Systems Corporation in 1962. In 1984, General Motors Corporation, or GM, acquired all of the capital stock of our predecessor, and we remained a wholly owned subsidiary of GM until our split-off in June 1996. As a result of the split-off, we became an independent, publicly held Delaware corporation. Unless the context otherwise requires, references to EDS include its predecessor and subsidiaries. We make available free of charge on our Web site at www.eds.com/investor our Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K and all amendments to those reports as soon as reasonably practicable after such material is electronically filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC. We also make available on our Web site other reports filed with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including our proxy statements and reports filed by officers and directors under Section 16(a) of that Act. We do not intend for information contained in our Web site to be part of this Form 10-K. Our primary business is information technology and business process outsourcing services. EDS founded the information technology, or IT, outsourcing industry more than 40 years ago. Today, we deliver infrastructure, application and business process outsourcing services to clients in the manufacturing, financial services, healthcare, communications, energy, transportation, and consumer and retail industries and to governments around the world. During 2003, our IT and business process outsourcing services, which had been conducted through the Operations Solutions and Solutions Consulting lines of business, were transitioned to a unified portfolio within our new operating model comprised of our Global Sales & Client Solutions, Service Delivery and Portfolio Management organizations. This model is designed to allow us to go to market with a single face to the client, consolidate our global delivery capabilities, focus our product and portfolio management, and establish a competitive cost structure aligned with market demand. Our Global Sales & Client Solutions organization provides a single point of accountability for client relationships and serves as the center for EDS' industry expertise. Our Service Delivery organization integrates and manages the delivery of our services on a global basis, taking advantage of the scale of our capacity as well as best practices, tools and processes to deliver high-quality service in a cost-effective and responsive fashion. Portfolio Management works with our other organizations to develop our range of service offerings and determines their strategic direction.
