Managed Services

EDS Ross Perot Early Managed Services

• FUN Facts! - MANAGED SERVICES started in the early days of computers, when Ross Perot, Founder of EDS, bundled technology systems together as a service.

Managed Services

FUN Facts; In the early days of computers, when technology was young, computer systems maintenance and repair were performed only as needed, based on a “Break/Fix” services model. Individual Vendors would only service their specific equipment and software when something went wrong… The more computer systems and software, the more vendors, and more expense.

That all changed in 1963, when Ross Perot, Founder of EDS (Electronic Data Systems) signed a multi-year Managed Services contract with Lay’s Potato Chips of Dallas to manage their computer systems. 5 years later, growing to 300 employees, EDS went public in 1968 and grew annual revenues to over $100 million by 1973.

Ross Perot EDS Managed Services

EDS won the U.S. Army contract in 1982 worth more than $5 million a month. Two years later, General Motors bought EDS for $2.6 billion.

Managed Services today, is the practice of outsourcing the responsibility for managing, maintaining, and servicing technology platforms from a single source, in order to streamline operations and reduce expenses.

Managed Services; a more cost-effective way to manage technology.
